From memory you already have info re John Jacobus Sylva Appoo and his wife Alice Henley including I think their offspring one being my G Grandmother Alice Elizabeth Morris nee Sylva Appoo.I will however begin with Alice Elizabeth and work down.Please note I am no professional when it comes to setting out family trees (grin).

 

Take for example my Mother paternal family. Her father Thomas rarely mentioned his parents when she was growing up. By all account they had both died before he married and prior to this he had been overseas fighting for king and country i.e WW 1 at the tender age of 16.His mother Hannah Oneill was born in Dublin Ireland and came out to New Zealand with her family in 1875 while his father James Malloy came out from Australia approx 1879. Although the Malloys were trades people both James and Hannah were buried in unmarked graves. Then about three years ago I decided to enquire about all Malloy deaths in our local cemetery. To cut along story short I eventually located a John Malloy the grandfather of Thomas and father of James who died in 1896. No one in the family were aware that  aware aware that a John Malloy had lived and died in Greymouth. My mother cannot remember her father ever mentioning that his Grandfather was buried in the local cemetary and las with Hannah and James also buried in an unmarked grave. Thankfully I was  able to have erected a simple headstone  in his memory. Unfortunately with Thomas's parents dying so young alot of family documentation etc has been lost. My Mother to this day doesnt even know what her Grandparents Hannah and James look like as not one photo was left behind.

 

At the time of John and Alice Apoo's marriage, John was residing at 4 Mape Street. I think Mape Street like 3 Colt Lane where Johns Wife Alice Henley lived was in Middlesex UK. It’s a bit confusing sometimes. Johns occupation as entered on their 
marriage cert stated Ships Steward. This is why I wondered if he may have worked his passage from Sri-Lanka to the UK. 

Interestingly another relative located the following from the Nelson Museum. Apparently John Apoo advertised for business in the Local Examiner newspaper on the 17th and 20th of October 1855, 
 
It reads   WATCHES, CLOCKS and JEWELLERY repaired. HAIRDRESSER and DENTIST.
