Josias Fleming (son of James Fleming and Elizabeth Greer) Josias appears to have been married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth Sinclair (DOM 11/12/1873 - IGI?). They had 4 children; Annie, Elizabeth & Sarah (Twins), and Margaret. Elizabeth died shortly after Margaret was born. The four girls emigrated to New Zealand before 1900. Josias's second wife was Annie Maria Beattie. They had eight children. The first child Agnes died of meningitis when she was 7. The last child Helen Maud died aged 9 from scarlet-fever. Josias Fleming and Annie Beattie, having read about the good life in New Zealand from the letters of his first four daughters, decided to retire and follow them to New Zealand and that Josias sold his properties to relatives with this in mind. Josias would have been 59 or 60 when they left with their children between 5 and 18. It is recorded that they sailed on the Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. vessel Ortona (later renamed the Arcadian) to Queensland, Australia in 1900 with their family and then continued on to Wellington, New Zealand on the S. S. Westralia. The Westralia was an Australian coastal vessel but apparently also made trips to New Zealand. The dates of departure and arrival or the exact sailings have not been determined. The Ortona is known to have made four trips from London to Queensland that arrive in Australia in 1900. These sailings departed from London on the following dates: 24 Nov 1899, 16 March 1900, 6 July 1900, and 9 Nov 1900. It was on the Ortona that Lilian Fleming met Thomas Bibby who was travelling to Australia. After a short period in Australia he decided to follow her to Wellington arriving in 1901. It is said that when she first sighted the high hills of Wellington's south coast she looked at them in amazement wondering what made them stand up and why they did not slide into the sea. Josias died on 21 October 1917 and was buried in plot 13.J.P2, Karori cemetery, Wellington, New Zealand. Annie Maria Beattie died 23 July 1937 age 79.
