Spring in the Antipodes

It's Spring here now which means it's time to get out in the garden.
Unless something very interesting happens I probably won't be
researching or doing new posts until Winter, around April, but I
will still be checking my email.

1820s Pacific Missionaries

I have a cousin in the North of New Zealand that I have a funny thing in common with - we are both descendants of the missionaries that circulated between
Tahiti, Northland, and Syndey, but not on the side we are related on, so neither
of us had any idea of it until running across references on the net. Hers was Mr Puckey, and mine was JM Orsmond. Those people formed quite a limited circle in the 1820s and tended to have large families and intermarry with each other as I think I
have said, so to study one is to come across them all, appearing in different settings.

Family history is strange.

Isabella Nelson - JM Orsmond

Have made contact with a fellow descendant of Isabella Nelson in Australia -
this is the first 4th cousin I have met up with, for some reason this is more
rare. Its obvious now I think of it, but until she said, I hadn't twigged that
our relatives in Tahiti must speak French - so silly when I used to study it,
and new perfectly well that is what they speak there. Just didn't make the
connection.
Now have a large collection of names and dates for Tahiti that I didn't have
before, I always wondered what happened after Caroline Orsmond left there in
1848, as they were such a large family.

Harriet Nelson, descendants, Northland NZ

Details of James Shepherd can be found by an internet search, he was sent to
Northland NZ by Samuel Marsden in 1820 and translated the Bible into Maori
in the 1820s.
