Emigration James de Maus later left Edinburgh and emigrated to New Zealand. Thank you to Mark Hamilton who writes: "I have photos from James de Maus studio in Scotland and also from his studio in New Zealand. James de Maus appears to have been a mate of my great grandfather. They emigrated together from New Zealand to Fiji in 1869, but in Leyuka, Fiji, James appears have gone away from his photographer. A child, Herbert de Maus was born there on September 15, 1871 who in adult life played cricket for New Zealand. Mark Hamilton, Wallaroo, South Australia: February 10+13, 2008 |

Mark Hamilton tells me that he has just received a reply from the Hocken Collection of Photographs at the University of Otago Library, New Zealand, telling him: "I see in a book by photographic historian, Hardwicke Knight, that there is a possible portrait of de Maus in Album 10 in the Otago Settlers Museum." Mark will investigate further - Peter Stubbs: February 14, 2008 |
