phill on 2010-06-05 23:43:50Greetings NGAIRE EDITH. EDMUND SMART was my great great grandfather by his first wife SARAH JANE (nee COX). ALICE MARIA, their second daughter was my great grandmother being married to GEORGE MILLS, labourer of Christchurch.
You probably have the information I'm about to relay however I shall continue.
SARAH, her parents and six siblings came to NZ on the "Midlothian" in 1851 while EDMUND,as you record and his parents and eleven siblings arrived in 1850 on the "Randolph". The "Randolph" was only the second ship to arrive in Lyttleton (only a few hours after the first). EDMUND'S name and those of the other passengers is engraved on a plaque in the Square in Christchurch.
The names of some of WILLIAM and SARAH SMART'S children are particularly quaint with reference to biblical old testament figures.
GEORGE SMART, EDMUND'S youngest sibling, was born seven and a half months after his father, WILLIAM, died.
I have a copy of the grave stone inscription for ALICE MARIA and husband GEORGE MILLS. It reads "In loving memory of GEORGE the beloved husband of ALICE MARIA MILLS who died at Cheltenham April 23rd 1908 aged 53 years: Also of the above ALICE MARIA MILLS who passed away November 4, 1939 aged 83 years The Lord is my Shepherd"
I have a rather grainy photocopy photo of ALICE MARIA and her sister-in-law, ANN DAHLIA (married name Williams) taken at Cheltenham at the house of ALICE and GEORGE. The original photo was in the possession of my late great aunt, MAY COLE of Wellington.
ALICE MARIA married CHARLES (CHARLIE) POPE in 1910 in Feilding. He died in 1921 in the Palmerston North Public Hospital. I am uncertain as to the cause of his death but I believe it may have been cancer although rumour around the family has it that he liked his tipple and the cause of death may have been due to an alcohol-related condition. It is certainly clear that the many children of ALICE MARIA and GEORGE eschewed alcoholic beverages possibly on the basis of their observations and experience of its effects.
Regards

phill on 2010-06-05 23:52:13I should have added that my late great aunt MAY COLE's maiden name was MILLS and was the sister of my maternal grandfather, FRANK HENRY MILLS.
jmp on 2010-08-16 01:50:20Hello Phill and Ngaireedith,
I was the data entry person for the Cox Family Reunion held Labour Weekend 1991 in Christchurch. Although a book was not published, I try to keep the family tree up to date.
Phil, I have several questions for you, but will start with this one. I think your grandmother was Effie Scadden - I have not been able to find a death date for her - can you help?
And to you both - I am very happy to send what I know for your families - always looking for updates and corrections.
Regards, Jean
jmp on 2010-08-23 00:03:34Hello Phill,
Have now found the death date for Effie Muriel. What a great age.
Jean
phill on 2010-09-04 21:28:23Greetings Jean
Haven't used this site for awhile so missed your request re Effie. Yes she did achieve a grand old age. Although the last few years were somewhat clouded for her with dementia she remained a sweet old lady who enjoyed food and company. I recall my daughter, Sophie (aged about 5 years) sat on Effie's knee in the aged care home where she resided and said, "Mammam have lost your marbles?" Mammam (Effie) laughed uproariously and was unable to make comment because of her mirth. Although my contact with Effie had been extensive throughout her life towards her end she did not really recognise me and referred to me as that nice young man.
phill on 2010-09-04 21:30:55Sorry missed a word should read "Mammam have you lost your marbles?"
