Francis Harry Fawcett 3/23/04
The Fawcett name is interesting that is why my father and I decided to research the family name here in New Zealand.
I'm Christine Fawcett, and my father was Ronald James Vincent Fawcett. I was born in Lower Hutt Wellington New Zealand, I have 2 brothers and 1 sister.
Our family began when William and Jane (Smedley)Fawcett came to NZ in 1842 on board the ship "Thomas Harrison" with their sons Joseph and William jnr, they arrived in Nelson (top of South Island). They came to live in Wellington around 1850, the children they had in NZ are Charlotte, Rhoda, Samuel, Emma, Priscilla, George and Clara. Im a decendant from George who married Jane Spicer.
Joseph and Samuel and their families left for Utah in 1871. I understand that Samuels family moved around and lived in Canada for some time, I know he is buried in California USA.
