Hello,

William John CHISSELL b. 1862 Poplar is with family in 1871. He is not with family in 1881:

1881
RG11 Piece 583 Folio 38 Page 25
Civil Parish: Lambeth
County: Surrey
Address: S E 10 Bond St
William Chissell Head M 50 Beer Retailer (Seller) Manningtree Essex
Maria Chissell Wife F 36 Limehouse Middlesex
Charles Henry Chissell son M 16 Whitesmith Poplar Middlesex
George Alfred Chissell son M 14 Unemployed Poplar Middlesex
Ada Elizabeth Chissell dau F 12 Scholar Ramsgate Kent
Annie Maria Chissell dau F 9 Scholar Ramsgate Kent
Elizabeth Jane Chissell dau F 6 Ramsgate Kent
Amy Susan Chissell dau F 4 Lambeth Surrey
Albert George Chissell son M 1 Lambeth Surrey

The family arrived in NZ 1881 - 1883 ???

NZ Births
1883/11543 Chissell Alice Amelia - Maria - William
1886/15831 Chissell Arthur Edwin - Maria - William

Next sighting for William John is this one:

The Sydney Morning Herald - Saturday 20 December 1884
Department of Mines.-Messrs. Thomas Hewitt Myling, Richard Bardon, William John Chissell, and Alfred Henry Taylor to be clerks ...

I can't find him in 1881 and I can't find him in shipping records.

Did he travel with family to NZ and then on to NSW or did he travel alone to NSW or to NZ and then NSW sometime 1871-1884 ???

Possibly:
1883 Wellington, NZ
Arrival: On The Ship "Ionic" From London England William, Maria And Their Four Daughters: Ada Elizabeth, Annie Maria,Elizabeth Jane & Amy Susan.


Curious. The tree does not mention when any of the sons arrived in Australia or NZ.

Some trees have William John's birth 1862 Sydney, NSW. That's one way to do it when you can't find him on a passenger list. :D

GEORGE ALFRED / ALFRED GEORGE :rolleyes:

Paperspast
Hawke's Bay Herald, Volume XXVI, Issue 8999, 16 June 1891, Page 3
In the month of February, 1801, we were both doing good business at Waipawa—Charles Henry Chifsell as hairdresser and tobacconist, and George Alfred Chissell as photographer.

http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cg...1&e=-------10--1----2George+Alfred+Chissell--

Laurieton
Evening News (Sydney, NSW : 1869 - 1931)
Tuesday 12 January 1892
No Punt.
Laurieton Monday. — A man named Chissell while attempting to cross the river at Kendall this morning was drowned. It appears that Chissell, who was a photographer, wished to cross the river, and there being no, punt or boat there, he attempted to swim across, but when within about 10 feet off the bank he sank. The body has been recovered.


Must have been a inquest as no death index for him that i can find.
