Repost for David Ivens, david.ivens at wild-duck.co.uk As a descendant of William Ivens and his wife Elizabeth Flora Hickling, I found some of the information supplied here most interesting and useful, though there inevitably some small discrepancies, as is always the case with historical records. William Ivens had been sent out from England to establish an import / export business for his employer William Hadfield. His friend and co-worker was William Burnett. They arrived in Sao MIguel in 1800, William Ivens married Elizabeth Flora Hickling while William Burnett married her twin sister Sarah Clarissa. When Elizabeth Flora died, William Ivens then married her younger sister, Mary Anne. I have details of their descendants should you wish to follow this through, but William Ivens and Elizabeth's children were: William Hadfield Ivens (1806-1882) Elizio Mario Ivens (b.1808) Thomas Edward Ivens (1810-1880) Arthur Hickling Ivens (1813-1895) Edward Burnett Ivens (1815-1847) Charles Fettiplace Ivens(1818-1906) Robert Breakespeare Ivens (1822-1889)
It was William Hadfield Ivens who had lost money on an invention of his, and triggered William Ivens' further financial ruin when he sold investments to salvage his son. William's 2nd marriage to Mary Anne produced four girls: Octavia, Kate, Lavinia and Harriet. There's more, but enough for now, I think.
