The Maynards embarked from Liverpool on May 27, 1869 on the Nestorian, steaming the Allan Line's Liverpool-Halifax-Montreal run. They disembarked at Quebec on June 7th, proceeding from there to Lennoxville, which the family reached on June 9, taking up temporary lodgings as they searched for a new home.
Tragically, both Charles and his infant sister Kate may already have been suffering effects of the voyage or some sickness. Brother and sister both passed away on June 24 and were buried in Ascot Cemetery on the 25th. Four days later, on the 29th, the Maynard family moved into their new home at nearby Richmond, which they called "Cleveland House" after Cleveland, the small coastal region in North Yorkshire which had been the origin of Col. Maynard's mother's family.
A sad homecoming that must have been.
The gravestone is apparently lost or no longer legible.
The Maynard family remained in Richmond until Sept. 9, 1875, when they left Quebec by train for San Francisco, intending to emigrate further to New Zealand. Finding the SF Bay area to their liking, they decided instead to put down permanent roots in nearby San Jose, Santa Clara County.
