Hello Ian. In 1900 Reginald Montgomery HILL and Emily HILL appear to be living at Cheltenham where Reginald is listed as a farmer. Cheltenham seems to be north of Feilding. There is an online family tree which says that Reginald Montgomery HILL was born in India to parents James Turner HILL and Agnes Jane PENNELL. He married Emily LEWIS and it appears they may have gone to England as Emily is said to have died in Devon in 1938. In 1911 the family is living in Colaton Raleigh, Devon with Reginald's sister Lilian and two children aged 8 and 6 both born in Devon, so they must have returned to England very early in the century. I have no connection to this family. Hope this helps a little.

Hi folks, I am presently researching all the men and women who served in the Boer War and WW1 from the Waikouaiti, Merton, Seacliff, Karitane, Puketeraki , Flag Swamp and Goodwood areas of East Otago. If any list member has links to any of these people I would be pleased to hear from you. Thank you, Regards Allan

Hi folks, Looking for any information regarding Michael Green who apparently fought in the Maori Wars and served with the 65th Regiment in 1846. Thank you, Regards Allan

Endeavouring to locate family connections and details of a few people buried in the St Agnes Churchyard at Kiwitea near Feilding. The burial registers are very sparse on information, in some cases having only a surname, no first names or a date even. Hoping some others can help with identifying them. Some of them are likely to be children, as a couple of others that had not a lot about them turned out to be just that. The families would have been in the Kiwitea area anywhere from 1890 to perhaps late 1920s, and then moved away. Have also been through Paperspast, which did help to solve a couple of the unknowns, but not these ones. The first burial at the Churchyard was in 1890. The names are ARMSTRONG - surname only no date Miss ADAMS W LACEY Mrs Jane GREEN 1923 GW STILL infant 1930 Another family that we do not know too much about is a Reginald and Emily HILL, who had a son Reginald born and died in 1898. Can't find anything further about them. Also an Alfred PAINE who married a Margaret HOPE in 1894. They had a son Jabez Alfred who was born and died in 1895. The mother Margaret died at the same time. What happened to Alfred the father, and where did he come from. Thanks Ian C

According to Papers past, Nurse Beard and Dr Jones were delivering babies at "St Kilda" 239 Great North Rd, Grey Lynn, from the mid-teens and through to the mid 30's. 241 had rooms to let during the same period.

I suggest Pharpharnua could be a phonetic rendition of Whawhanui. A quick search finds a place/river by that name in the Wairarapa, could be one near Pirongia perhaps, possibly a farm?

Hi Judith Try searching for Whatiwhatihoe Pirongia - lots of interesting results, you may find a clue for the name of the farm amongst the information. Whatiwhatihoe is just south of Pirongia, literally means broken paddles. It was the place that Maori King Tawhio lived from the 1880's see this link http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/life-style/people/6229436/History-River -of-time-washes-all-traces-away Marg -----Original Message----- From: new-zealand-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:new-zealand-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Judith Harper Sent: 05 March 2014 22:59 To: NZ Rootsweb list Subject: [nz] Pharpharnua Farm, Whata Whata Hoe, Pirongia My grandmother Elsie Beet wrote the above address in a reading book in about 1914.

You are correct in thinking of a NZ Link to Bristish Royals. There is a grave that is visited annually and flowers placed there. The blood link is white not Maori. Is well known in the upper class circle.

Hi Listers Does anyone have a copy of the above book please and if so could they check and see if the SMITH families get a mention. Looking for info on Frederick Edward SMITH and his family he owned a hotel/boardinghouse in Glentunnel was also a builder as noted in the 1893 and 1896 electoral rolls. and his inlaws who were George SMITH and his wife Elizabeth who I think may have been maybe a labourer the 1893 & 1896 electoral rolls lists him as a platelayer in Glentunnel so maybe working for the railways I am really finding these people hard to pin down. Frederick and Mary's marriage gives me their parents names but no help going backward and I cant find with certainty when George and Elizabeth arrived in NZ unless they are the couple arriving from Yorkshire on the Lancashire Witch in 1863. Then THAT doesnt account for the fact that Mary their daughter says on her marrige she was born in Bridgend in Wales in 1866!! Did I mention that Smiths are frustrating lol thanks heaps Patsy

Hi All, I am really hoping someone can find me a photo of Ernest Andrew Mahoney (1885-1969) who was a journalist & local govt administrator in NZ. He was born in Milton, Otago, New Zealand; lived part of his life in UK and died in Cambridge, New Zealand. If you can assist, please email me direct at peter@cussen.org Many thanks for any assistance, Peter, Melbourne, Australia

Is there SKS who has access to the 1901 England census, would do a lookup for me, for Ernest Victor Ralls b 1870/71 Churchill Oxford England. I'm trying to find his wife's maiden name, and at present all I can find is her Christian names as Emma Jane-------. Ernest and his wife Emma, and their first child Ernest Stephen, must of emigrated to New Zealand shortly after the 1901 census was taken, and so I'm hoping that Emma Jane is the correct Christian names of his wife, as they are the only ones I can find, and fit around the death dates of them both here in N Z. Thank you very much for any replies. Regards Keith
