TIMELINE of Christina Gilbert
c1840 Christina arrived in NZ as a child
1850 Christina married William Jones (1829-1871) 17 June 1850 (she was 15 - the legal age then was 12). They had a son in Wellington, William James Jones (1851-1901, buried below). They later separated and divorced.
c1852 Christina next lived with George Baker Nye (1826-1907, previously twice married) & had 2 daughters in Foxton, Elizabeth 'Lizzie Nye (1853-1942) & Nancy Ellen Nye (1855-1855 aged 5 weeks). Christina left George just after the death of Nancy (leaving daughter Lizzie to be brought up by a widowed aunt, who adopted her in 1864). Christina went back to Wellington.
1855 Christina next married widower Michael Dixon (1810-1883) as his 2nd wife (Michael 1st married Sarah Shepherd (1808-1843, buried Karori), their children were early settlers of Masterton. Michael & Christina moved to Masterton but not long later Christina took off to Wellington on his horse. Michael retrieved the horse by walking over the Rimutakas to get it.
1871 ex husband William was killed at Nelson Creek, Greymouth, in a mining accident, on 9 Sep 1871, by falling from a 150 foot flume. Burial records have him as 30 which has to be incorrect, which would make him marrying at age 9. BDM has his age as 35. Family members say he was 42
