Biography

Alexander Lyall was born about 1810 in Dundee, SCT.1,2,3,4 He and Jane Malcolm were married on 15 January 1842 in Wellington, NZ.3
Note an Alexander LYALL was a steward on the Olympus arriving Wellington 20 apr 1841 and he 'deserted' the ship. Captain WHYTE claimed he had stolen a number of articles.(see PPA 5th june 1841).
PABA
Also on 5th June Captain Whyte placed this notice:
Five Pounds Reward.
WHEREAS, Alexander Lyall, late steward of the Olympus, having deserted his vessel,
and supposed to have taken several valuable articles belonging to his employer, the above
reward will be paid by the undersigned on his apprehension. Height, about 5ft. 10in., stout
made, had on jacket and trowsers, and left town on Thursday morning with a gun. He is
supposed to be in the neighbourhood of Petoni. John Whyte, master of the Olympus,
On 10th July this appeared from yet another group of passengers:
WHEREAS a paragraph having appeared in the papers' imputing to, or rather
insinuating against Alexander Lyall, late steward of the Olympus, certain acts of
dishonesty, we the undersigned cabin passengers beg to express our conviction of
his honesty, and of the faithful manner in which he discharged his duties as steward.
J. W. Jones, Thomas Mason, H. White, Charles H. Piper, F. Gowan, C.G. Doughty,
P.H.Gowan, David Roberts, J. E. Featherston
To Alexander Lyall, late steward of the Olympus.
SIR, ? Having on the day previous to the sailing of the Olympus, asked Captain Whyte
what ground he had for his charge against you, he replied, that he could not say that he
had lost a single article. Mr. Hall having put the same question to him, when the vessel
was sailing out of the harbour, received a similar answer; so that your character is, I
conceive, most satisfactorily relieved from the stigma unjustly attempted to be affixed to it.
J. E. Featherston, M.D. Alexander Lyall was a pp has baker in butcher Lambton Quay in 1842.1 He was a butcher, Wellington in 1843.4

Biography

John Gibling was born about 1810.1
From Paula peking@xtra.co.nz
Our Gibling ancestors not in N.Z. until 1865, none of the previous 3 generations left U.K. Not a common name and the only one I have found earlier in N.Z. is a John Gibling in Auckland, he was there on a list of Jurors - I think. Don't know where he is from but in 2 Papers Past items (below) had been in Auckland before 1845 and I think it is probably the same man later on in South Island - no John from our family -Kaiapoi.

1842 Te Aro
Robert is a mystery man. This is pure conjecture but I feel as he was in Wellington in 1842 and Mary was alone and would have needed to work so maybe she became housekeeper for the Roses. She may even have been companion to his sick wife. I also suspect being Welsh that Mary was a Methodist (married in the C of E church but so were all dissenters at that time). She married Robert Rose in the Methodist church so maybe the church looked after Mary and her children and she met the Roses that way. ????? Like I say I am putting 2 and 2 together here but probably not making 4! Mary and Robert certainly married very quickly after his wife's death but that is often not unusual as she had young children and he might have had children too. He is not a direct ancestor but info about him will fill out Mary's life in NZ. KCL. Robert Rose was a carter, Te Aro in 1842.1 He was a milkman, Te Aro, Wellington in 1844.5 He was a shopkeeper in 1849.5
