  Immigration	Between 22 Apr 1865 and 3 Dec 1867	Auckland, New Zealand   [6]
  	William and Sarah Ann (nee Riggs) Mabey left London Dock on 22 April 1865 and set sail to Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia in the sailing ship "Royal Dean" of the Black Ball Line with their two sons, William George and Joseph Mabey. Of the 600 passengers aboard, thirty four died during the trip and were buried at sea. As one of the children and Mrs. Mabey contracted Sandy-blight, the family decided to immigrate further to New Zealand. They sailed from Queensland to Sydney on the steamer "James Patterson" in November 1867. From Sydney they traveled on the Barque "Alice Cameron" and arrived in Auckland on 3 December 1867. A fortnight later they sailed for Poverty Bay but as the Maori Wars were raging they decided to return to Auckland in September of 1868. The day after they left Gisborne, Te Kooti conducted his massacre of seventy men, women and children. Cutting tracks and forging streams, the Mabeys arrived in Maramarua from Auckland in a bullock dray on 16 January 1869. They built Whares and named their settlement "Mabey-Town" near Stoney Creek and Mabey Hill. This site is about 2 miles up the Fisher Road and only a few older residents remember these landmarks today. In 1885 they moved to Mangatawhiri where William worked as a bushman and gumdigger. Sarah Ann, his wife, died in 1891 and in the early 1900s he made his home in Maramarua in a thatched shanty on the farm of his son, William George. William senior was a great gardener and supplied most of the vegetables for his son''s family and gave the younger members of his family Sunday School lessons each week. William Mabey died in 1913 at the age of 82 years. Today there are a large number of direct descendants of William and Sarah Ann, but Mrs. Edna Hale and her two children are the only descendants living in Maramarua today
