Query Text:

Seeking information on the following HICKS Ancestors whose timelines were recorded in CORNWALL, FIJI, NEW CALEDONIA, AUSTRALIA, NEW BRITAIN (PNG), GILBERT ISLANDS (KIRIBATI), USA, NEW ZEALAND, AMERICAN SAMOA, WESTERN SAMOA. : JOHN HICKS was born in England and arrived in Fiji around the early 1800s; his timeline was recorded in Fiji up til the late 1860s. His daughter ELIZA MARY HICKS was born in 1848 in Fiji; His sons WILLIAM HICKS born in 1850 and JOSEPH HICKS born in 1856 were also born in Fiji. There is little information on his son Joseph Hicks, except for his record of service as a Registered Seaman in the English Navy. His record states his return to Fiji after serving a couple years. His son William Hicks has timelines stretching all throughout the South Pacific, namely Fiji, New Britain (PNG), Kosrae (Gilbert Islands), American Samoa, Western Samoa and all the way up to San Francisco. He is better known as Second Mate to the infamous Bully Hayes (known as the last of the Buccaneers). Last names mentioned and included in this Query such as VAIOLI, AUVA'A, CANALDO, CODEVELLE are families connected to the Hicks branches through marriage. For example, VAIOLI (AUVA'A) is a connection made when John Hicks son WILLIAM married Matelena Vaioli (from American Samoa). CANALDO/CODEVELLE is a connection made when John Hicks' daughter ELIZA married Ernest Emmanuel Canaldo (Frenchman from New Caledonia). There are shipping records to indicate John Hicks left New Caledonia for Australia so we are unsure if John Hicks passed away in Australia or returned to England. We already have substantial information on John Hicks and his children, but anything else that can be learned and shared would be greatly appreciated.
