  • Notes 
    • Birth.

      Emily Jane MELLISH was probably born about 1876 at Featherston in the Wairarapa. According to family trees on ancestry.com, her parents Edward Frederick Mellish (1844-1921) and Eleanor Chatham (1848-1931) came to New Zealand on the ship "Golden Sea" in 1874 from England. Her father was subsequently listed in the 1875-1876 Wairarapa Eleectoral Roll as living in a house at Featherston. Emily's birth year is based on her age at death, 52 years in 1928. I have been unable to locate Emily's birth in the NZ Birth Registers.
