Hi Listers,
I am researching the family of James Henry MARRIOTT, b London 1799, d 1886
in Wellington, New Zealand.
His son James MARRIOTT was born London, England in late 1820's/early
1830's;
went to California with the gold rushes about 1849/1850;
was in Osceola, NV about 1906 when his sister wrote her will and left him a
small legacy.
What is known about James MARRIOTT and his wife and family in Osceola?
Where and when did he die and where buried?
When was the fire in Osceola, White Pine, that removed it from the modern
map?
I am trying to get started with this James MARRIOTT in Osceola.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
His sister, Alice MARRIOTT, b 1824 London, m Robert EDGAR, had a grandson
Edgar WALLACE well known writer, and herself was a well known actress in
Covent Gardens, London; d 1900 in London.
His father James H MARRIOTT arrived in Wellington, New Zealand in 1843;
his mother Sarah (1799-1885), brother Edmund (1836-1929) and sister Emma
(1839-1898) arrived in Wellington, New Zealand in 1853. His other sister
Sarah Elizabeth (1826-1907) m Henry HARDEMAN and she arrived in Wellington,
New Zealand about 1867.
Does this family match with your line? Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA :-)
