    1. [NZ-AUCKLAND] Re: COMPTONS - AUCKLAND
    2. Thank you to everyone, For your wonderful responses with information to help with finding the story of the Comptons. As it was over a week ago when I posted the enquiry about the family living in Auckland and while waiting for the Site to come up, I went on a search through the BDM NZ Website, for births and deaths and also a cousin sent to me the NZ Newspaper Website, like our Trove. It had so much information, like many of those who responded to my post, already knew or found out. I also found a Website on the Compton Tree by a lady in Canada, that goes way, way back to the Comptons in England. There are still a couple of things I have to find and that is when Emma the mother, and two of her three surviving children arrived in Sydney. Son Ernest Frederick Compton Jnr., married in Sydney in 1899 and his sister Maud as previously covered married in 1900 also in Sydney. Maud's widowed mother Emma was present at her marriage, all the family settled around the inner Sydney suburb of Balmain. Here is what I have found. Ernest Frederick Compton Snr., who married Emma Louisa Abbot in 1864, registered in Tumut, (which is in the Snowy Mountain region of NSW), was indeed born on Prince Edward Island in Canada in 8th March 1828 to William Spencer Compton and Harriet Clara Haszard. As a young man Ernest sailed from Canada to San Francisco and worked there for awhile. After a few years there, he sailed Down Under and it appears that he disembarked in Melbourne, where he set up a business as a Drysalter. For some reason he was around the Riverina area of New South Wales, when he met and married Emma. They then ended up in Tumbarumba, which is on the Southern Tablelands of NSW. They had two sons, Ernest S (Spencer) Compton in 1866 and William S (Spencer) Compton in 1867. Ernest died as an infant. By 1869 they were living in Auckland, when son George Frederick Compton was born. Followed by Thomas 1871, Emma Louisa 1872, Ernest Frederick 1876, Maud Slevna 1878 and Elizabeth Florence in 1879. Emma 10 months, George 7 months, Thomas 18 years (typhoid Fever) and Elizabeth 4 months all died and add to those deaths, that of Ernest an infant in 1866 in New South Wales, it must have been traumatic for the parents. Ernest Frederick Compton Snr., died in 1890 (he was also known as Frederick). The Obituaries in the newspapers after his death, tells the story of his life in Auckland and also solves the mystery of what happened to the second son born in NSW, William Spencer Compton. It mentions that he had left NZ to work in San Francisco. I was able to find a ship "Alameda" leaving Auckland for San Fran in 1886, with a William Compton on board. Then we find that he has returned to Auckland per "Alameda" in 1897 departing San Fran for Auckland. William is aged 29 (correct) and he is #1 Cook. The catch was the NZ Passenger Archives has his place of birth as Wales, then it twigged, it should be New South Wales. I believe that William may have travelled to Sydney alone or with his mother and two siblings, as I have found a William Compton marrying an Elizabeth Taylor in 1899 and on the 1903 Electoral Roll, he and Elizabeth are living in Balmain and his Occupation is a Cook. I have ordered a copy of this marriage certificate. However, what would solve the mystery is if only I could find what ship the family arrived on to disembark in Sydney and when. Once again thank you for your suggestions. If someone can find this family on a ship between 1895 to 1899 sailing from Auckland to Sydney that would be great. However, they may have been here not long after Ernest's Snr's., death in 1890, as both Maud, Ernest and William (if he is the one) would have to get to know their future spouses. Cheers, Janice Belrose, Sydney. -----Original Message----- From: Karen and Allan Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2018 11:08 AM To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Subject: [NZ-AUCKLAND] Re: COMPTONS - AUCKLAND Hi Janice

    3. Oops, sorry all the listers, may have replied incorrectly - you can tell I have not used list often. Thanks Margaret, certainly trying to track down through all channels. I had managed to find the birth, but he appears to have "disappeared" later in life. Love Papers Past, but again sometimes difficult to ascertain if the person you are reading about is "yours", unless there is other identifying information.
