Name, place of birth, date of death, from Muriel Leo’s (nee Oliver, 1917-1998) Family Tree.

Date of birth and place of death from Cynthia Glover’s (nee Coleman) book, “The Allen Family” and first published in 2005. Cynthia's great-great-grandfather was William Samuel Allen b.1843. (William's sister was this Martha Allen, who married Charles Oliver, youngest son of James and Ruth Oliver).

Cynthia writes the causes of death were Myocardial degeneration, Chronic nephritis, and Uraemia. Buried Plot 31, Sec. 39, Row 8 (halfway along).

Martha is descendant from nobility on her father’s side (William Allin/Allen). Martha's grandfather was Charles Stanhope, 3rd Earl Stanhope, descendant from a long line of families including Stanhope/de Ifferley/de Colleville/Crispin and Pitt.

Martha's x21 great-grandfather was William Crispin I, alias "Guillaume de Colleville", who was a companion of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. I recommend reading Cynthia Glover’s (nee Coleman) excellent book:

“The Allen Family” is an enormous volume of over six hundred pages, full of genealogical detail, many stories, and many, many, photographs. It features the descendants of Martha Allen and that of her brothers. Martha married Charles Oliver in 1868. Charles was the youngest child of James and Ruth (nee Batten) Oliver.

There are eighty pages devoted to the Olivers. Charles and Martha had the following children:
- James William Oliver
- John Henry (Henry) Oliver
- Rachel Annie (Annie) Oliver
- Jessie May (May) Oliver
- Charles Allen (Allen) Oliver
- Lillian Emily Oliver
- Martha Daisy Oliver
- Harold Albert Oliver

“The Allen Family” is recommended reading, especially to descendants of Charles and Martha (nee Allen) Oliver. Copies are held at:
- The Puke Ariki Museum-Library in New Plymouth, New Zealand
- Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington, New Zealand
- The museum in Holdsworthy, Devon, England

In a telephone call on the 27 August 2021, Cynthia Glover advised Brian of nzolivers that copies for purchase, directly from her, are no longer available. There will not be another print run. Please see previous paragraph where copies are lodged.
