Ann Carrick

15 Jan 1858 Married at New Plymouth, NZ, on 29 July 1857 John Carrick, 3rd son of R. Carrick, Croft House, Halthistle, to Anne Oxenham, eldest daughter of T. Oxenham.

Hawera & Normanby Star, 10 June 1921 The late Mrs. Ann Carrick, whose death occurred at Waitara on Sunday night, was one of the rapidly lessening band of Taranaki pioneers. Mrs. Carrick was the eldest daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Oxenham, being born in the parish of Clawton, near Holsworthy, Devon, and left England with her parents and a numerous body of relatives in March,1841, by the barque Amelia Thompson, arriving, at Moturoa, New Plymouth, on the September following. Like other old identities she had passed through many anxious times of stress and danger in the early days of the settlement. Her late husband, Mr. John Carrick, was in business in New Plymouth as a chemist, but died many years ago. Deceased had been a resident of Waitara East for the past 50 years, being one of the pioneer residents of that district, and many old friends in and around Waitara will regret the passing of a good neighbour and kindly natured woman, a type so, often met with in the old identity stock. She is survived by four daughters and one son, Mesdames H. Law (Hokianga), W. Hamblyn (Midhirst), Vickery (Tikorangi), A. Western (Hawera), and Mr. Morton Carrick (Waitara).

MI: In loving memory of Anne CARRICK who died 5th June 1921 aged 86 years. Blessed are they that die in the Lord. Also Morton son of the above and beloved husband of Emily L. CARRICK 1865-1939.
