Hi - I have just returned from a holiday and the computer wouldn't let me get on to this e-mail ( I have two addresses, the other was fine) so I'm sorry for the delay in replying.
Ellen Fisher was previously Burns ( parents William and Isabella , nee Barry). The daughter was Isabella Barry, and she married George Morgan (from the Martha Ridgway) in 1857. In Waimea West.One of the boys was James, but I haven't worked out who the others were yet.
I have a large amount of information on the Morgan family - they arrived in nelson in 1842 and later that year they went to Massacre Bay, I presume as part of mining operations. In June 1843 tragedy struck when mr and Mrs Morgan and a daughter were drowned with the capsizing of a boat at the mouth of the Waimea River. This was reported in the newspaper, briefly. Apparently they were travelling to Nelson for the daughter to be married . We are still working out which daughter it was. In october that year John Barnicoat found the bodies and buried them above the high tide mark - i found this through papers past as family did not seem to know about it. (Mind you several children orphaned half way around the world...) I would like to read the part of his diaries where he recorded this. I have also discovered a newspaper report of some skeletons being discovered on Rabbit Island - being deliberately put there and laid out it seems that it was them. The family knows nothing about this. This was in 1899, george had moved to Foxton. I have most of his family tree if you would like it. I would like to find more of the documentation about finding the bodies and their reburial. I am also trying to trace what happened to the other children - perhaps they were brought up by Maoris. Apparently they mixed well with them and were there during the Coal Bay massacre in 1842. Joseph and Arthur Morrison were in the Wairau Massacre at the same time as the drownings - he escaped to come back and hear of his parents' deaths. I have quite a bit more, but there are still a lot of blanks so if you can put me in touch with anyone else who is researching them I'd love to hear.
Another family they later married into was William Reeve, who came as a whaler in 1838 and was shipwrecked on the Chatham Islands. After some time there he returned to Wellington and settled at Johnsonville. His son married a Morgan descendant.
The Aldridge family from Port Underwood are also intertwined at several stages and I have a large amount on them if you are collecting that!
Keeps one busy - and fascinated with our history!! Cheers, margaret

A sad accident occurred on Thursday night, at the western mouth of the Waimea. A boat belonging to a Maltese named Polo Portello was returning from Massacre Bay, and there being a heavy sea and the night dark, sought refuge within the bar, on crossing which the boat was swamped. Portello, with a man named Pelham, escaped; but Morgan, his wife, and daughter, who were also in the boat, were drowned. The bodies had not been found when this intelligence left the spot.

Hi Anthony, I found this reference as above and I believe this may be from a family I am researching. My husband's ancestor ( not sure how many greats) was Isabella Fisher who came out on the " New Zealand", with her two older brothers and parents. She married George Morgan in 1857. We are from this line. I recently obtained her mother's death certificate - her parents were Ellen and Alexander Fisher from Dundee in Scotland. Ellen's parents were William and --- ( forgotten and don't have the certificate handy) Burns. I understand her older brothers lived in the Marlborough area, Alexander and Ellen lived in Waimea West with the Morgans. I have a lot more information on Isabellas line but not of her brothers - if it does look like we are connected then I would love to hear from you and to see if we can share any information. I look forward to hearing from you, Margaret Nicholas nicholas.fam@xtra.co.nz.
