Maraval
Ship: 1257 tons
Captain: Ramsey
Surgeon Superintendent: E Charlton-Fox
Sailed London October 15th 1878 - arrived Auckland January 17th 1879
Flying the N Z Shipping Co's flag, the
ship Maraval, 1257 tons, Captain Ramsey, arrived at Auckland on January 16, 1879, after a
passage of 94 days from Plymouth, bringing 328 immigrants. She was then a new vessel,
having been built at Dumbarton by McMillan in 1877. The Maraval was in Auckland again the
following year, arriving on January 23rd, 1880 [this information is incorrect as
she arrived in Wellington on this date]. She had sailed on October 31, 1879,
her time on the passage being 84 days.

NICOLSON Family: John Nicolson, (37), a Lighterman from Invernes, arrived in Auckland with his wife, Flora (34), and children, John (13), Donald (7), James (5), and baby Flora Ann (5mths). Rather old for an immigrant, he found work for the Auckland Gas Co. John and James both attended Beresford Street School, and there is record of Flora Ann starting her schooling there, then going on to Napier Street, then finishing her education at Ponsonby School, obviously reflecting the familys' changes of address around the city. She was in the Auckland Hospital in 1893, suffering from Phospherus poisoning, and 13 months later at 16, she was there again, having a daughter. She was then aged 16, and her application for relief, shows her liable relative as being John Nicolson of Prospect Street, widower. No record can be found for Donald, so one wonders what became of him. In the years 1893 - 1904, John (and I'm not sure if this is John senior or junior), & James are shown as living in Prospect Street, Ponsonby, but by 1906 James was married, working as a Groom, and living in Harbour Street. They all dis- appeared from the Auckland electoral rolls after this date, probably leaving for another area/s. In the case of Flora, she was known to be living with an O'Brian in Portland in 1914.

THE LATE MR. THOMAS HORTON "The death this week of Mr. Thomas Horton of Glenfield, at the age of 72 years, has removed a familiar figure from the Birkenhead district. He belonged to Brierley Hill, Staffordshire, England, and came out in the ship 'Marival' 51 years ago. He secured work at the late Mr. Richard Monks sawmill at Mercury Bay, where he met with an accident, slipping and falling across a circular saw. The result was that both legs were amputated below the knee, and for the past 48 years he had walked on wooden stumps. After recovery he went back to the bush and resumed his job at the circular saw. He then took up farming at Tuakau for a few years, but for the past 40 years had settled at Birkenhead. Mr. Horton ran the mail between Dairy Flats and Birkenhead for 16 years. He took a keen interest in local politics, and represented the Birkenhead Riding on the Waitemata Council for 12 years, retiring in 1911. He subsequently had a farm at Pokeno for 10 years, but retained his interest in the Birkenhead district up to the end. He was a man of indomitable courage, and was the object of admiration in the district for the remarkable energy and agility he displayed in the face of his disability. Mr.and Mrs. Horton celebrated their golden wedding a year ago. He is survived by Mrs, Horton, two sons and a daughter, and eight grandchildren. The sons are Mr. William J. Horton of Leigh, and Mr. Ernest T. Horton of Birkenhead. The Daughter is Mrs.Maria Louisa Hogan(nee Horton ) of Glenfield. There was a representative attendance at the funeral yesterday at the Birkenhead Anglican cemetery, many old identities attending, among whom was Mr. Peter Nelson, aged 84, an early pioneer of the Albany district. Mr. H. Day, member for Birkenhead Riding and Mr. C.A. Cawkwell, county clerk, representing the Waitamata County Council. Others present included Mr.A.E. Greenslade, Mayor of Northcote, and Mr. Thos Ingham, vice-president representing Albany Fruit Growers Association. The services were conducted by the Rev.W.W. Avery (Methodist) and the Rev. P.C. Davis (Anglican) Speaking at the graveside, the Rev. Mr. Davis said they had laid to rest one of the words heroes, he had been fighting adversity for 40 odd years, and had never once looked back. He was a hero that the world at large might not have known, but it was a privilege to have known him. He hoped that his example of grit and manliness would inspire others with courage to meet the trials of adversity".
