About Rosetta Nathan

http://www.familytreecircles.com/nathan-david-1816-1886-russell-bay...

According to family information David Nathan was born in London, England, in 1816, the third son of Nathan Lion Nathan and his wife, Sarah Nathan. It is not known if the two Nathan families were related. After serving an apprenticeship in the wholesale clothing firm of his maternal uncle, Henry Moses, David Nathan emigrated to Australia to join members of his family there, arriving in Sydney aboard the Orient in December 1839. He had intended to go to Adelaide; however, on the promise of better economic prospects, he sailed for New Zealand on the Achilles , leaving Sydney for the Bay of Islands on 21 February 1840.

On arrival, Nathan immediately set up a store on the waterfront at Kororareka (Russell), stocked with goods he had brought from England. When it became clear that the capital would be transferred to Auckland, he decided to establish a business there. In 1841 he opened a store in a tent on the foreshore. He retained his store at Kororareka until 1842, and on one of his periodic visits there met, and on 31 October 1841 married, Rosetta Aarons, formerly Jacobs, the widow of Captain Michael Aarons. There were four daughters and two sons of this marriage, although two daughters died in infancy. Rosetta Nathan was to die in 1864, and on 22 January 1878, in London, Nathan married Edith Barrow Montefiore, the daughter of J. B. Montefiore, a merchant. They had no children.
