    3. Those old land records have for many years been at LINZ in Hamilton.I may stand corrected, I have heard that they are no longer available to the public. If so, you will need to have staff search for you. No doubt they will charge. NZSG may be able to help you with t hat aswell. Happy hunting Bill

    3. Hi Olwyn. When Te Papa was established it absorbed the Wellington National Gallery and "art" became a much unloved stepchild. We made a special trip to Wellington about a year later and were dismayed to find a total of 10 or 11 artworks on display, none of which had a label, merely a number that was fully dsecribed on a sign at one end of a longish room. At the time there was considerable angst in the media, often featuring the past curator, Luit Bierenga, an idol of mine at Hamilton Boys High back in the day. Little had changed some years later on a second visit.

    2. Angela Reynolds
    3. Hi Olwyn Looks like the newspaper in 1916 may have got the deceased's name wrong. She was Mrs Job EARL and not Mrs Joseph EARL. Job and Bridget EARL are buried together in the Geraldine Cemetery and there is a photo of their headstone with names & dates on the Timaru District Council website. Job EARL died on 1 Feb 1920, aged 88 years. There's an interesting obituary in the Press newspaper on 7 Feb 1920, pg 8. It says Job came from County Wexford, Ireland and the couple married in Australia. The obituary also gives the initials (and married surnames) of the 11 children (eight daughters & three sons). The 1881 Electoral Roll says Job was a farmer and owned "Part Section 10854, Kakahu". There's a shorter version of Job EARL's obituary in The Colonist on 11 Feb 1920, pg 5 and again in the same paper on 25 Feb 1920, pg 1. Angela

The section and block no. aren’t relevant today so I can’t pinpoint where they used to live. His name was Benjamin Phillips and he owned property in Okaiawa, Waimate, Taranaki, sections 14, 15, 16/18 and 27/9 in block 1V Waimate. They are in Ngutu Rd, Okaiawa. I would be grateful if anyone can help me find out what these are called now. Thanks, Bronwen

    2. Olwyn Whitehouse
    3. I am back. Just had 18 days in NZ. Started off at Queenstown and the lovely gardens. Got a great view of Arrowtown from the War Memorial near the Arrowtown Cemetery, only found one from Macetown buried there. Autumn leaves were at their peak, bright yellow. Missed all the bad weather. Had sunny days at the traction engine rally at the Winchester Showgrounds, Fairlie Show and Anzac Day -went to the dawn service in Timaru, even found myself on the front page of the Timaru Herald. Went to the Fairlie Anzac Day Service and listen to Rev. Kerr speaker. He is a strong speaker. The rain had just stopped and it reminded him of a poem. Rain on your old tin hat. http://beck.library.emory.edu/greatwar/poetry/eaton/Eaton151/ Followed the pipe band up and down the street. Managed to photograph all the remaining headstones in the abandoned Kakahu cemetery just around the corner from the old lime kiln and realised there is a cemetery at Arowhenua. Visited the Temuka Museum at the old courthouse near the Saleyards. They only have one piece of Molle Goodsell pottery and it was on display, a green leaf dish. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzlscant/molle.htm Walked around the city center in CHCH, disappointed at all the graffiti and missed the cardboard cathedral. Did go the new CHCH central library on Manchester St. close to Moorhouse Ave. Saw the card index that Bev. has been transcribing and now realize the task. There are about one million cards, indexed by surname, even found my grandparent who were married at the COE St. Pauls, Papanui/ 1 Harewood but I couldn’t find the church so didn’t get a photo of it. Meet Mr. Greenaway and he said the church is still standing. He is so full of knowledge. What a great resource. Christchurch City Center is still a mess. Even the little chimney on the Dean’s cottage at Riccarton bush has not been repaired and is still braced at Dean’s hose is still closed. Enjoyed the fretwork and finials and verandah brackets throughout Nelson, walked South Street and Elliot Street, but the little cottages are located throughout the city. Saw The Quake exhibit that is going on now at the museum. Not impressed the museum database WWI soldiers, the names just linked back to the Auckland War Museum cenotaph site . Had a good look through the Old St. Paul’s Cathedral Mulgrave St., Wellington, they have one Whitefrairs stained glass window, an organ made in Timaru and the WW2 Marines flag and US flag. 500 Wellington women married marines, and overall 1400 NZ women married marines. I also realsied The volunteer said a few marines came to a Sunday service and all were taken home for Sunday dinner, the next Sunday fifty came to the service and again all were taken home for a meal and by the third Sunday there were a lot of marines at the Sunday service. Old St. Paul's remembers. Every year a US Memorial Day service is held. That will be 26th May this year. Found out that New Zealand Historic Places Trust has just had a name change and is now known as Heritage New Zealand. Anyone can get married there. The church is owned by the public. At St. Andrews , on the Terrace and found the church registers are at the ATL, ordered it and found that divorce records are attached to the marriage records. Visited Somes Island and Zealandia in one day. If I had to choose which one to visit, Somes wins hands down, as it has history, nature, views and a ferry ride. The ferry leaves at 10am and gives you a couple of hours on the island. Also spent an afternoon at Te Papa and the Museum of Wellington City & Sea and watched the Wahine video. I couldn’t find a decent art gallery in Wellington. The NZ Portrait gallery was disappointing. Only half a dozen portraits on display in a Shed including the new one of the Queen in a blue flock and one of E.J. Wakefield and one of Hillary. Timaru has a better art gallery at The Aigantighe. They even have a Duncan Darroch painting of the ship “Pamir.” I had a nice surprise and saw one of his Mt. Cook paintings in the home of my cousin. It will never be sold. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzlscant/Darroch.htm Cheers, Olwyn Kiwi in TX
