her father, Robert Henry Huntly was the School Master at the Catholic Mission around Ecans Bay way, Wellington
The earlies I can find him, at the moment, is 1852

Elizabeth Rosian actually died in Oliver street, Remuera, Auckland at her daughter, Mary Catherine's home. Mary married Godfrey Lincoln Lee

the above should read Evans Bay, an inlet between Mt Victoria and the Miramar Peninsula. So, it was after 1852 that he became a Registrar of the Wellington Supreme Court. WHen I get home tonight I will go through all the ships lists (always a daunting venture)

Thanks NG I am confident now that the Elizabeth Rosian Huntley born in 1839, London is one and the same. I am pretty confident that R. H. Huntley is Robert Henry Huntley, her father. If so, immigration was before 1845, when he signed the Memorial. I found this notice:
Evening Post, Volume V, Issue 219, 25 October 1869, Page 3
By command. R, H. HUNTLEY, Overseer of Domains. Wellington, 14th October. SEPARATE TENDERS for the removal of night soil and the contents of ashpits from the General Government Offices, Ministerial Residence, &c, and also for sweeping chimneys, will be received at the Colonial Secretary's office, Wellington, up to noon on Thursday, the 28th inst. For particulars apply at the office of the Overseer of Domains, Wellington. By command, R. H. HUNTLEY, Overseer of Domains.
and this one in 1868;
THE Annual Meeting of No. 1 Company of the Wellington Rifle Volunteers will be held at Osgood's Hotel, on Monday, the 2nd November, 1868, at 8 o'clock p.m. precisely. Members are particularly requested to attend. By order, R. H. HUNTLEY, Hon. Sec. Wellington, 23rd Oct.
The above coupled with what you have tells me R. H. was pretty well connected in NZ with several titles and the only R. HUNTLEY death registered in NZ from 1869 to 1920 is Robert Henry.
I really only needed Immigration for the 'Huntleys' but now my curiosity about R. H. is aroused.
I have nothing yet of the history of Alexander Sutherland Allan 1831-1900 although I've found a few with the same name.

whilst doing a journal for you, interesting find ...
25 March 1870 - TOWN ACRE 493, Bolton Street, Wellington
... Mr J. H. Wallace is instructed by the Mortgagees to sell by public auction, at his Land Mart, Hunter-street, on Tuesday, 29th March, at 2 o'clock p.m., all that delightfully situated town acre 493, Bolton-street, tastefully laid out and cultivated, together with the two substantially built residences, in the occupation of Mr R. H. HUNTLY and Mr A. S. ALLAN

also, to give you something to go on: Alexander Sutherland ALLAN (1831-1900) was born in Stromness, Orkney, Scotland 9 April 1839, a son of William ALLAN & Jessie SUTHERLAND. He died 27 January 1900 aged 69 at his residence, Featherston Terrace, Wellington (now Newman Terrace)
- he is buried Plot 54 B, ROM CATH, at Karori cemetery, Wellington

Robert Henry Huntley was a volunteer pioneer in the war of 1845, present at the taking of the pas of the Maori Chiefs, Pomare, [?rl=http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/1k4/1]Te Ruki Kawiti[/url] and Hone Heke. (a Maori pa is a fortified village)

Robert was found dead in the WC at his home in Kaitara, Morrison's Bush, Greytown on 9 April 1879, where he was schoolmaster. He died of apoplexy
- he was buried in Greytown, his funeral attended by a large number of the members of the Greytown Rifle Volunteers, of which Robert was an honorary member

Te Ruki Kawiti

Gee ng you have been busy. Thank you very, very much. :)
I thought he may have been in the war of 1845 when I read that memorial to Fitzroy.
One thing interesting which I found was on daughter Elizabeth Rosian's Baptisimal record he gave his occupation as a Commercial Traveller living in Pentonville. Marvellous what a change of scenery will do.

Is the birthdate for Alexander Sutherland ALLAN 1831 or 39 ng?

Hi janilye and ngairedith 2 April 2013 1.15pm

Just fell on this page of your. I am a direct descendant of Alexander Sutherland Allan and Elizabeth Rosian nee Huntley. My grandmother's maiden name, Allan. Most of the third generation Allans were born in Sydney, while Gabriel Allan, son of Alex and Eliz remained in Auckland with his name on the cemetery record of his mother in Wellington.

What is your connection to my great great grandparents Alexander and Elizabeth? Couldn't see it from the missives.

Although I have A S Allan coming from Edinburgh - in fact my son visited the exact same address, still standing - I note you have him born in Stromness, a small community way north of Scotland? AS Allan born 05 Jul 1831; died 29 Jan 1900.

Excited to hear more.

Cheers

It's all part of some research I was doing Keith, surrounding John Burton 1843-1918. I was tracking Robert Stanislaus Allan's wife Edith Burton and the Burton's of Windsor, NSW. All I really needed was an immigration record for Elizabeth Huntley Allan, to tie up the inlaws. But ng and myself do tend to get carried away. As far as a connection! well, Elizabeth is the mother-in-law of 1st cousin once removed of wife of 1st cousin 4 times removed. So, I wouldn't say close!

Oh okay. I have Edith Mary Burton married to Robert Stanislaus Allan 1899. He born 9 apr 1869, the brother of my great grandfather. Robt Stanislaus was a journalist, author, and worked on The Bulletin' magazine in Australia. His second name from a luminary at the time.

I see your family name on Ancestry's leaf. So we are related from your cousin whose mother in law was my grandmother, ne'est-ce pa?.

Thanks you for posting this - I had little to nothing on RH Huntley and his wife whom I believe was Elizabeth Grimpson or Grinson - hard to make out on the marriage certificate. I followed up on your points relating to the 1845 war where Robert Henry Huntley was awarded a War Medal. But what happened to the family tradition about being related to the Huntley Chocolate family company in England?

If you would like anything about Allans please let me know.Birth of Allan Sutherland Allan in Stromness, Scotland doesn't seem to fit.

Cheers

Did Robert Henry Huntley have other children besides Elizabeth and did you see Grimpson as his wife? He may have had brothers and sisters in NZ too?
