Appendix 2 Further Roebuck family information

My interest in the Roebuck family goes only as far as the origin of Julia Nicholls.

The following is an unprocessed collection of news clippings and other raw material

relating to the Roebucks, for anyone who may have a further interest in the history of

the Roebuck family:

1871/4794 Annie Allan Nichols Thomas William Shaw

Annie Allan Nicholls married Thomas William Shaw on 4 Sept 1871

Thomas William Shaw, from Plymouth, had arrived in New Plymouth on the Amelia

George Corbett related to George

Corbett Snr whose obituary

follows: ???? I think uncle. Taranaki Herald, 8 October 1903

I think he is the brother of James

Erskine Corbett.

I think our George Corbett was

born in 1853, son of James

Eerskine Corbett, and died in 1910.

Ancestry tree agrees, gives birth

date 15th Dec 1853, Burnley,

Lancashire. “Major Family Tree”

1910/2940 Corbett George 57Y implies dob about 1853

James Erskine Corbett only had 2 children in 1855.

However two of his brothers ended up in NP including brother George who came out

on the Duke of Portland.

So I think this would be James Erskine Corbett and his wife

family of 4 might have been sons James (1854) and our George (1853) and two

brothers George (1835 cf 1831?) and John (1834). Taranaki Herald, 29 October 1907

1900/11167 Corbett Leonard Charles Fanny Susan nee Roebuck George William Digby Harrod (son of the man who founded Harrods) was an early military settler at Okato.

William was held in high esteem by people in Okato, and one of his closest friends, Fred Roebuck, thought highly enough of him to name his youngest son Stephen Digby Roebuck. Once, many years on, when Stephen was interviewed at the age of 87, he was asked about his namesake. He said his parents were fond of the Englishman. "My parents were always talking about him. They enjoyed his company."

1896 NZ Census

Frank Ernest Roebuck residential Okato farmer

1905/06 NZ Census and voter list records

Frank Ernest Robuck, Kakahi, saw mill hand

1881 census records “Frederick Roebuck” residential Okato blacksmith.

1890 NZ Census and voter lists records

Frederick Roebuck residential Okato blacksmith.

1896 census and voter lists records Frederick and Robert Frederick both blacksmiths.

My conclusion is that Robert Frederick Roebuck and Frederick Roebuck are the same

person and in 1896 Robert Frederick got recorded twice.

1900 census records only Robert Fredrick, blacksmith, and his wife.

1905/06 Robert Frederick (blacksmith), his wife, his son Arthur – and his nephew

Charles Edward (son of Frank)

1911



Robert Frederic blacksmith and wife Eliza Jack, son Arthur (farmer), son Frederick

William (driver)

Frank’s wife Mary, son Charles Edward (bricklayer), son Walter (bricklayer)

Arthur’s wife Rose Ellen and Charles Edward’s wife Nettie.

Frank is on a different roll
