By: Heath, Charles, -1869

Reference: qMS-0939

Description: Includes shipboard letters written by Mrs Elizabeth J (Lizzie) Ovenden, a widow with a infant son (Douglas), travelling to Auckland aboard the "Merrington". Lizzie was coming to New Zealand to marry Charles Heath, which had been arranged by his sister, Anne. Lizzie arrived in Auckland on 29 Aug 1867 and married Charles on 3 September `after an acquaintance of just four days'. Letters to Anne from relations Fanny Butcher, Mary Forman, Mary Glover, Grace Lodge, Fanny Marshall and Fanny Stretch in 1867-1868 all enquire after news of Lizzie and Charles. News of the wedding was conveyed in Lizzie's letters to Anne and to her sisters Mary and Grace, and by Patty Chambers in whose house they were married. Subsequent letters describe life at Whakahara, Kaipara where Charles traded in kauri gum. Their happy domestic routine was broken by Charles' death, after an illness, on 20 Nov 1869, leaving Lizzie pregnant and with two small sons to support. She ran her own store until 1871 when she married the Rev Moses Breach and by 1873 they were living in the St Andrew's manse, New Plymouth. In 1874 Lizzie sent two of her children to live with Anne in England. Her final letters reveal an unhappy period in her life as she records her grief at separation from the children and the loss of a still-born daughter in Dec 1874.
