James CURTIS: James Curtis arrived at Wellington on board the Warwick on February 26th 1879. The second son of Charles and Esther (nee Gillett) Curtis, he was born at Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England on January 19th 1848. James had three sisters (Mary Jane, Emily and Jane) and the family lived at Apton Field in 1841 and Hadham Road in 1851. There were a lot of breweries in the area and the occupation of many of the men is listed as Brewer or Brewers Labourer. It would appear, however, that the men in this new family, Stephen and James, may have had some education and undertaken apprenticeships as Stephen was very involved in the railway during his life in New Zealand after he emigrated in 1873. James appears as a Hammer Man in his application to come to New Zealand but has his occupation as a Boiler Maker on all documents in New Zealand. Stephen Curtis emigrated to New Zealand on the Roo Parelle which arrived in Auckland on May 30th 1874 with his wife Sarah Rebekah (nee Horne), who he had apparently married in London. They soon moved to Wellington and were in Tinakori Road when Stephen nominated his brother James and a sister (probably Jane) as assisted immigrants. Only James appears to have actually made the journey on the Warwick. Also on board the Warwick was Ellen Alice Neal from Leicestershire. Ellen's ticket indicates that she was supposed to go to Dunedin. Research has not determined by whom she was nominated and it is presumed she got off the ship at Wellington. On March 13th the following year (1880) James and Ellen were married in Wellington. Oddly enough their first child, Rose, was born just 6 months later. It appears that James and Stephen were both involved with the development of Petone. They were foundation members of the Ulster Masonic Lodge, involved with St James Anglican Church in Lower Hutt, the Petone Central School and I believe Stephen was very involved with the fledgling Rowing or Yacht Club in Petone. James wife, Ellen, died in 1891 about 7 months after the birth of their 7th child and was buried in the grounds of St James Church, Lower Hutt. Stephen also lost his wife, Sarah, in 1885. Both men remarried and had further family. In the 1990's Sharyn Burling (nee Curtis) and a Great Grandaughter of James Curtis, made contact with Phyliss Worthington, a Grandaughter of Stephen Curtis and valuable information and photographs were exchanged. The ancestry of James and Stephen has now been charted back to 1751 with a John Curtis marrying Elizabeth Stubbings in Ugley, Hertfordshire. James Curtis died in 1929 and is buried in Taita Cemetery. If you have a connection with this family or would like to know more please contact Sharyn Burling. |
