Hi Chris

This cannot be the Absalom who is the subject of this posting as I have census records beyond the date of sailing to New Zealand.

However I do have another Absalom Trigg (I have 6 in total) baptised 7.8.1831 son of Benjamin Trigg & Elizabeth Roberts (already detailed in another posting Trigg's of Hasely Hill).
Absalom Trigg 1831 married Hannah Cowmeadow baptised 13.11.1834 on 8.6.1861 Forest Church. I have census data for him up to 1861, so could be the "wife of Absalom" mentioned.

Upon Benjamin Trigg's death in 1836, Absalom's mother Elizabeth remarried to John Glover.
