George WALTER of Littleton Drew, Wiltshire.

George WALTER farmed at Littleton Drew on the Wilts/Gloucs. border He died on the 14th April 1837. His wife was Sarah [unknown] They hs the following children, Louisa Jane, Sarah Ann, Charles, Elizabeth, Henry,Mary and Georgiana Diana. Louisa Jane and Henry came to New Zealand on the 'Charlotte Jane' in 1850, Charles married Mary Ann BEAK and ran a Dairy Farn outside of London for some years, mary married a George RAYNOR, school teacher, she died young and her two girls were sent to New Zealand for Louisa Jane to bring up.

You will think from all of this I know everything but I would love to know what happened to the rest of the family, where George came from before Littleton Drew I have a idea it was a place called Box in Wiltshire and what was Sarah's name before she married. She came fron Biddestone, and what happened to the other members of the family.

The other name that is associated with the family is NIPPRESS.

Looking for Descendants of William DYER of Nottingham to NZ

The DYER family that I am seeking originally came from Leistershire and moved to Orston, a village near Nottingham. William was born there in c1819 and bacame a Master carpenter. He and his wife, Mary Dorothy plus their five children came to New Zealand aboard the 'Captian Cook' arriving on the 5th Sept 1863.

They settled at Governers Bay, Bank Peninsula Their second son, Thomas married Louisa Jane FIELD 12th May 1882. At one stage he was partner in a Butcher Shop in Lyttelton with a Mr Owens. They took part in a ballot for land at Waikakahi in South Canterbury and moved there about 1895. The farm named 'Beckford' is still in the family.

Thomas and Louisa Jane were my great grandparents but we know little of the rest of the Family that came to New Zealand.
Can anyone help

Sarah Stinchcombe daughter of Daniel Stinchcombe

I am hoping to find Sarah's family. I have a copy of her second marriage certificate wher she gives Daniel STINCHCOMBE as her father.

Sarah was married twice 1) George WALTER who died in April 1837
2) George NIPPRESS married in 1839.

She had eight children by George WALTER and three to George NIPPRESS. She and George Walter farmed at Littleton Drew, Wiltshire.
Sarah inherited the Farm after George's death and she and George Nippress continued to farm there intil arround 1871 when they passed the farm to their son also George Nippress. Sarah and George N. moved to Nettlton.

What I would really like to know is the connection between Sarah and Daniel Stinchcombe and the rest of the Stinchcommbe family.

The DYER family who came to New Zealand 1863

I am hoping to find anyone that is connected with this family both in Uk and New Zealand.
William and his wife Mary Dorothy nee Boyes they were from Nottingham.

William was a Carpenter and had an older sister Mahala, who was a schol teacher. He had other brothers and sisters including John who is also thought to have come to New Zealand.
Thomas, William's midle child was my gr. grandfather. He started out as a carpenter became a Butcher and on marrying my gr grandmother he took up farming.
I would very like to hear of any history of William's siblings and in New Zealand about or from any of Thomas's siblings.
