We’re about to start restoring a cottage in Rentone Street, Nelson that was built by Samuel and Eliza Heath in 1879 and are looking for any information on the Heath family. Samuel Heath and Eliza Robinson were married on 26 June 1879 in the Nelson Registry Office. Samuel built the cottage at 9 Rentone Street, Eliza lived across the road at 10 Rentone Street with her parents until her marriage. They had 12 children: 1881 - Eveline Sarah Heath 1882- George Richard Heath 1884 - Florence Emma Heath 1886 - Alice Gertrude Heath 1887 - Charles Samuel Heath 1890 - Amy Isabel Heath 1891 - Hilda Eliza Heath 1893 - William Arthur Heath 1894 - Robert John Heath 1896 - Ernest James Heath 1898 - Mabel Phyllis Heath 1900- Beatrice Mary Heath We can not figure out where they all slept in such a tiny 4 room cottage. The lounge extension was added in 1907 just before the marriage of Florence Heath to Mr G Maxwell. The Nelson Evening Mail reported the marriage with the news that the wedding guests were entertained at the residence of the bride’s parents. Samuel lived in the cottage until his death on 5 March 1922 aged 79. He is buried in Wakapuaka Cemetery, Nelson with his son George Richard Heath who died aged 63 in 1945. Eliza died in Whangarei aged 67 on 29 March 1925. Any help gratefully appreciated. Sue Thomas

I'll have a look Sue. We have the name Maxwell in our Collins line.

Thanks Jenelle - I did do all the research I could many many years ago when we first bought the place and made contact with several living descendants and managed to get a couple of photos of the cottage and Samuel & Eliza from one lovely old lady in Christchurch. She has since died but her great nephew is now the Principal of the college where Evan used to teach. I’m just hoping that someone new may have popped up or come out of the woodwork - really after photos if I can get them. Hope you are well and happy - we’ve just started our most challenging and LAST cottage restoration - it really does look like a dump on the outside and hopefully we can transform it, increase its value markedly and get a decent rent from it once we’ve finished and make it something we can be proud to own. Have a look on Google for 9 Rentone Street, Nelson and you’ll see what I mean about being seriously ugly. Have just finished a 7 month job on our cottage in Stoke and have new tenants shifted in - it looks absolutely fantastic and with tenants who are a couple in their late 40s and 50s we’re hopeful it won’t turn to custard.
