Notes for Mary (Spouse 1)
Name, birth and death dates from Ann Banks. Also the following.
Richard & Mary had 3 children, all born in Calcutta, Eliza Ann (1817 - 1894), George William (1819 - 1899), & William Henry (1820 – 1823). Eliza Ann and George William came to NZ sometime in the early 1850’s, but we have not been able to find any records of their arrival. Eliza Ann married Edmund Knyvett (as his second wife) in Nelson, NZ, in 1855, and they had 2 children, Annie Harriett McKellar Knyvett and Alexander Currie Pauling Knyvett. Interesting to see the names Annie and McKellar as I note that Ann & George Gibson’s daughter was Ann and after her marriage to Samuel Wix, is noted as Annie in the British Census’. The other interesting thing is that there is an E. A .Pauling as witness at Ann & Samuel’s wedding, and given that Ann Gibson and Eliza Ann Pauling were probably cousins, we are surmising that the E. A. Pauling must be Eliza Ann. That puts her in England in 1845, which starts to narrow our search down somewhat. Both Eliza Ann and George William died in New Zealand.
