children of CHARLES HENRY SQUIBB 1830s
Charles Henry Squibb emigrated to New Zealand on the SLAINS CASTLE in 1840. He had with him his wife Elizabeth - I would like to know her maiden name - and four daughters, Anne Sophia Squibb b.1825, Adelaide Squibb b.1832, Amelia Squibb b.1834 and Charlotte Squibb b.1837.
I have found another daughter born in New Zealand, Margaret Michell Squibb who died in 1842 from burns in a fire.
Adelaide died (in the Wairarapa I think) when she was 31, she was married to Martin Greathead - would like to know more about her.
And then there is the big problem . . Charles Henry had a daughter who died in 1843 aged 18, from a brain disease BUT the only 18 year old in 1843 was Anne Sophia and she was reported to have married a William Edward Vincent and gone to Australia.
Could anyone please throw some light onto this family.
One more thing - Charles Henry was described as a 'measure maker' on the ships passenger list, does anyone know what that was?
