It’s real pity that the Bulford kiwi is barely maintained these days. A group of locals have apparently weeded it recently but when we visited in October last year, the kiwi was barely visible. Trees have been allowed to grow up around it and visitors are not exactly welcome because it is located on Defence Force land.

After these answers I think there must have been two hotels, the Wynyard Tavern was still called that in 1902, when my relative had the lease, and after him it went to Mr Charles Bishop. I really have a feeling the one in 1902 was in Onehunga, in the main street. Maybe the one at Onehunga was named after the first one?

Hi Can someone point me in the right direction of finding out who owned a property in Timaru around the early 1900s? Thanks Sue

Les, The family were in London for the 1851 census. Thomas M. a32, Emma a25, Thomas a5, Louis a1. Old Street, St Luke, Middlesex. He was an 'assistant draper'. Then 3 children baptised 25/3/1858. Louis b 1849, Elizabeth b 1852, Emma b 1856. Then 1 child baptised 20/1/1859. Harriet b 1858. So they were still in England in early 1859. At least 5 children. Searching paperspast.natlib.govt.nz for shipping arrivals from 1859 onwards - Press, Volume I, Issue 21, 12 October 1861, Page 4 Lyttelton - Shipping intelligence ...... Arrived October 8 - Ship, Royal Stuart, 761 tons, Cornwall from London. ...... Government immigrants in the Steerage: ...... Mr. and Mrs. Pepperell and five children. ...... That seems to fit, but, the Lyttelton Times of 9th October has them as 'Pepperell, John E. wife and five children'. Thomas Mills Pepperell is in Christchurch by 22/11/1862 as - Lyttelton Times, Volume XIX, Issue 1062, 14 January 1863, Page 1 DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.-Notice is hereby given, that the partnership hitherto existing between William Stringer, John Ward Shackleton, and Thomas Mills Pepperell, carried on under the style of William Stringer & Co., as Drapers, Clothiers, &c., at Cashel House, Cashel street, Christchurch, has this day been dissolved by mutual consent as far as regards the said Thomas Mills Pepperell.-The said William Stringer and John Ward Shackleton will continue the said business under the same firm, and will receive and discharge all claims in respect thereof. Signed - William Stringer, John Ward Shackleton, Thomas Mills Pepperell, Christchurch. Nov. 22. 1862. 5060. I think he was in Timaru after that.

I have looked at the cemetery record for the above, and find he was buried at Kelvin Grove cemetery in Section A, Block 6 with no headstone, which is the case for most of this block - suggesting they were not the more affluent citizens.  The burial database gives his occupation as electrical linesman.    Having worked with these records extensively I would not regard the age discrepancy as necessarily ruling him out, as many folk seem to have had inaccurate ages recorded at that period.  You really need to view the death certificate, and if it does not state parents I suggest looking at a possible marriage in 1926. Hope this helpsMary Skipworth, Palmerston North According to Palmerston North Cemetery records he was 53 when he died. http://www.pncc.govt.nz/services/onlineservices/cemetery-and-cremation-detail/?id=2400 Allan -----Original Message----- From: Jan Moon via Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2015 9:55 PM To: New Zealand Rootsweb Subject: [nz] Charles Joseph Callaghan b abt 1868 Mangawai I found this death, and am trying to find if it?s the same person.
