Hi, Have you read the story of your Gt.Gt.Grandfather's arrival and marriage in New Zealand. Also his death two years after his marriage from supposed seasickness. I wonder if he was poisoned or something else which led to his death. Did you know that Marara and John Ratapu Arthur were savagely attacked by a Maori. I suspect that it was because of their mixed marriage and half caste child. You can read the story on the Website _www.elkingtonfamily.com Kind Regards Judy. _ (http://www.elkingtonfamily.com)
