| 1 | Rose Maria Forester Low.B.1842, D 1915 aged73.Buried at Old Stafford cemetery,N.Z..
I believe she is the wife of Thomas Low,b.1830 Birkshire, England,child of George Low and Elizabeth (nee Wentworth).
She had among her children a daughter called Rosa and she herself was often called Rosa instead of Rose as is in BDM NZ
and I have them sorted apart from three children that dont seem to be reg. anywhere.
Her husband was in west coast by 1867 and may have been since 1865?
I had noted "nee Garratt"on the end of her name but not sure where I got that from. Also I had noted a marriage in Victoria in 1871 and now cant find anything about that either.
Thomas would have been 41 yrs then so possibly been married prior. I would love to know more about her and possibly the whereabouts of Thomas. (after the England1851 census untill he showed up on west coast NZ) lulu.. - 2019-08-09 18:39:00 |

Another of the fast diminishing band of 1865 pioneers is gone, Mr Thomas Low, of Stafford, having passed away, at his residence, Stafford, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The deceased, who was in business at Stafford from its earliest days was well known and highly respected. He was a native of England and was in his 74th year. His widow and family of 2 daughters and one son will have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. vicki610 - 2019-08-09 19:40:00 |

| 12 | Thank you so much Stock, Yes Thomas and Rose(Rosa) are my 2X G grandparents.
Sorry, I should have said I know of all their children but cant find reg births for 3.
BDM NZ have Elizabeth b.1871, Rosa b.1872 ,and N.R. (b.1877. d.aged 11 hrs).
But not George b.1873,Isaac b.1878,or Thomas W.Low b.1876. I am surprised by this but maybe they were born elsewhere. I am excited to see you point out that Thomas's wife Rosa was from Victoria The scrap of paper I have about the marriage in Victoria and the ?re Garratt surname means something. I dont remember where I got it from but I feel its important now. Have been searching but cant find out anything. lulu.. - 2019-08-09 23:46:00 |
| 13 | Stock, Have re read your post and note Rosa was resident in Victoria so I realise she may have been there, got married there, but been born in another country. I still have a big puzzle dont I. lulu.. - 2019-08-09 23:54:00 |
| 14 | Stock,so very sorry,I was so tired last night I didnt take in the fact that Rosa DID come from England to Victoria then NZ. Certainly helps but not sure of her surname. Was she previously married,Was Forester a middle name,Where did the name Garratt fit? Wish I could remember where I found the mystery Victoria marriage previously. lulu.. - 2019-08-10 10:07:00 |
| 15 | This looks like George. Probably others have been recorded as similar names too, but I can't find Isaac or Thomas. 1873/40259 Law George Rosa Thomas raffella - 2019-08-10 10:45:00 |

| 25 | Thanks so very,very much to everyone for your fantastic help ! I see names that have been carried on thru generations now....... Rose goes right down to my Great Grandaughter. I had no idea it went back so far. Had wondered about the name Arthur and now makes sense.
With both yr 1870 ,plus 1871, as marriage year (as in post 16) for Thomas Low and Rosa Garratt which should I quote if I apply for marriage printout and would printout give any info than you awesome folk have supplied? I assume yr 1870 as in post17 is what would be best?
I find in England census 1851 that ages of Arthur Garratt m. Rose Ann Davis indicate they were 19 and 17 years old when married tho post 22 indicates they were of full age. Am I missing something?
I still havnt found when Thomas Low or Rosa Garratt left England for Victoria or when they left Victoria as a married couple for NZ. Again thank you, I feel very grateful for your help. lulu.. - 2019-08-10 15:16:00 |
