Hi John,
As you say Maria Croxson married Joseph Richard Andrews. The marriage took place 6th March 1866 in Stoke Damerel in Devon.
He was a baker in Devonport before he emigrated to New Zealand.
Maria and children followed later on the barque Oxford which left London Jan 20th 1883. It was a terrible voyage during which the ship was demasted and many passengers died of typhoid. The Oxford finally arrived in Wellington much delayed.She was eventually burned.
Maria and her children Maria, Alice, Nelly, Florence and Frederick survived. From which of these are you descended?
Mike.
