Sargisons and Sargissons & Sarginsons
There were other Sargison families in New Zealand, even in Otago which was at the time the economic hub of the country. Alexander Thomas Sargison was the 2nd cousin 4x removed of the Sargison brothers. Born in Surrey in 1836 he moved to Australia where he married Ellen Sophia Parsons in 1862. Their sons Alexander Samuel and Charles Thomas were born in Australia but along with hundred of others moved to New Zealand and the West Coast goldfields. The parents seemed to follow with Ellen dying in Hokitika in 1906 and Alexander in Oamaru, Otago, in 1912 at his daughter’s house. The two sons and their sister Ellen Marie Sargison probably as a result of the ending of the gold rush eventually found their way to Wellington.
The key family link appears to be Robert Sargison (1742-1794) and Mary Leavens (1739-1782) of Lincolnshire who was the 5th ggf of myself and my brother. Their son Robert Sargison (1765-1863n married Rebecca Pinder (1773-1815) had a son called Samuel Sargison (1808-1891) who moved to Hobart in Tasmania beginning a large family there – of this more later.
A daughter, Mary, married Thomas Teed, a baker, leading to the establishment of a notable shipping line in Canada and the USA – this is also covered below,

As it turns out the paper got the name wrong – it should have been Jonathan Sarginson. In a lot of instances Sargison and Sarginson were used interchangeably. In fact Sargison seemed the preferred! At least 4 of Jonathan’s children moved to NZ – Joseph, Isabella, Isaac and John Henry where they settled in south Otago and became farmers. Jonathan himself had an interesting story which can be found on the essays page. That particular line seems to go back to John Sargerson (1550-1623) in Kirkoswald, Cumberland, UK.
