Constantine Edward
("Tino") Zohrab, son of
Peter Thomas Henry Gordon
Zohrab, was probably born in 1843 (according to Harold Zorab's
research) near Liverpool, England, and was educated
at Bath, in the West of England. He married Edith
Wills in Wellington, in the North
Island of New Zealand, in 1868, and died there in 1897. His father
probably knew Italian, so the nickname "Tino" is probably
an abbreviation of "Constantino."
On 1 July 1862, he was the first Zohrab to go to New Zealand, embarking
(on the City of Hobart) from Melbourne, Australia, for Port
Chalmers (Dunedin), in the South Island of New Zealand, to join the
goldrush. His father later followed him there. It seems
that Constantine had moved to Wellington by the time of his marriage
in 1868, and he
was certainly living there by 1869. His father, however,
was still living in Hokitika, in the South Island, at that time.

Constantine and Edith Zohrab moved into a large house and section
"Laurellan" in Roxburgh Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington,
upon their marriage in 1868, and this was subdivided into numbered sections
at some time prior to Edith's death in 1937 -- probably before 1902.

Zohrab from 1868 until 1928, when she moved to 15 Everton Terrace, Kelburn,
Wellington, to be with some of her daughters.

by Grant Tilley (1973). Permission to reproduce and publish on the Web
granted by telephone on 13 July 2001. According to Mr. Tilly's book,
this house was built in 1902 by Mr. F. Hunt for "Mr.Zohrab" (probably
Edward Goodwin Fortescue Zohrab, Constantine's elder son).
