Migrants - James Jardine - 1859 - Nicholas Coombe and Family
In Adelaide, South Australia on 29 Jun 1859 on the James Jardine in 1859 arrived: Nicholas Coombe (farm labourer, age 34, from St Austell), his wife Mary Coombe (29, nee Holman) and daughters Mary Coombe (6) and Jane Coombe (infant). Although migrating as a labourer, Nicholas’ daughters’ baptisms give his occupation as blacksmith.
In about the mid 1870’s Nicholas brought his family, along with John Lawn and wife Mary (nee Coombe), to New Zealand working in the goldmines in the Reefton area. Mary died in Reefton and her children married and died there. By 1902 all Nicholas’ family including his children had died after which he returned to South Australia and died in 1915.
