Stevens, Esther Ellen
age 76Y

do you know where they are buried DEANMc?
There are 4 George Stevens at Riverton but only 1 probably of the right age and Esther is not there.
I thought they might be in Gore but didn't find them. One of their daughters, Rosina Stevens (1912-1997) married Ernest William Hoffman (1907-1976), the 11th of 12 children of Maximilian John HOFFMAN & Ellen DOVALOSKY, a son of a well-known sporting family of Gore

This is not getting immediately to her parents but all bits of info eventually come together for the bigger story

I am a great granddaughter of Rosina Hoffman (stevens) .... I am looking at finding the family tree and how we are connected to captain john Howell?

Esther is in with her daughter Rosina Hoffman nia Stevens in invercargill

Hi to all that answered. Esther has been buried with her daughter and son in law in Invercargill. Rosina and Ernest Hoffman.
Kimbaz are you Kimberley from Invercargill? I am Rosina and Ernest's granddaughter from Invercargill. There are about four George Stevens from Riverton. I think George married to Esther is buried in Riverton. There are many books at the library about John Howell, photos of his family, where he is from. George stevens (not Esther's husband) died and John Howell married his wife, that is how we are related to John Howell. It is all in the books as I said. The Stevens have also wrote a book on their family history. But I have been told that there may have either been a discretion on George and Esther or there was a race issue while they are not buried together and why it is hard to track George down.

Hi yes I'm Kimberley from invercargill... do you know who esthers parents were? And Georgia's.. I'm trying to find out where the Maori comes into our family?

Hey mum gave me some info... so might help you.....
Esthers parents are Robert Hughes and Sarah Hughes....and John Hughes and Kaunana are Robert hughes parents....

Rosina Trainor nee culling....
So she had Charlotte Hitchcock her great great grandmother. Charlotte parents are George Hitchcock and Mary Hitchcock nee Osborne. Charlottes husband George stevens is my mothers great great grandfather. His parents William Stenvens Ellen Stevens nee ross son George stevens

So George Stevens and Charlotte (nee Hitchcock) Stevens are George's parents. .. married Esther Ellen stevens nee Hughes

Hi Vanessa, yes I will ring you, but not until next week. Hope that is ok?

Yes that’s fine

Hi I'm also looking into George & Esther Stevens - I'm having trouble as on Esther's death certificate it says parents are Robert and Mary - I can't find a marriage certificate for them. I have a marriage certificate for Robert Hughes and Sarah Pizzey who were married in Timaru 1874 and Esther would have been born about 1877 and she was born in Timaru
I have found a marriage certificate for John Hughes and Betsey Kuanana in 1850 which is pretty exciting.

Also just wondering if George Stevens was married to Maria Stevens (Nee Wood) in 1887 and then she died 1900 and therefore he married Esther in 1904.
