The
Oliver Brothers
James Oliver (1805 - 1886)
Samuel
Oliver (circa 1820 - 1873)
The day of this
update marks the 179th anniversary of the arrival
of the Oliver brothers, James and Samuel, to New
Plymouth on the barque 'Amelia Thompson' on the
3rd September 1841.
James arrived with his wife Ruth and six children.
Unfortunately one child died on the voyage over.
Samuel was single and met his wife, Elizabeth, in
New Plymouth. She sailed on the barque 'Blenheim'
with her family the following year and they
married two years after that!
We have major updates to the descendants of James'
son Francis Oliver and major updates to the
descendants of Samuel’s granddaughter Frances Maud
Andrews.

Carroll,
Carrell, Carrel Book
A book titled, ’John
and Talitha Carroll - From Jersey to
Wanganui’, published in 2019 by Anthony Carrell
is highly recommended. Anthony has written this in an
informative, detailed, and
interesting way,
describing the life of John and Talitha and
their children. They immigrated to
Wanganui New Zealand in 1874 from Jersey,
Channel Islands. John Carroll was born in
Tipperary, Ireland and wife Talitha was born
in Somerset, England. They met and married in
Jersey. Read a book review here, and
