I emailed the Crematorium Society of Christchurch and they were able to supply me with the death dates of Catherine Ada Carter, previous Sullivan nee Coleman and her second husband William John Carter. Catherine Ada died 1986 and her husband William John died 1991. Both were cremated and their resting place is the Woodlawn Memorial Gardens, Linwood, Christchurch. Thanks once again Annette

    3. Hi Charmaine I could find noting under CORONO, so tried CORONNO. Four entries on the NZ online whitepages phonebook that you can search (just use the surname) at    www.whitepages.co.nz Maybe a phone call to one of the phonebook entries will reach someone who knows, it being such an unusual surname. Some deaths were registered for that surname - search at:   Death Search |   | |   |   |   |   |   | | Death SearchBirth, Death and Marriage - Historical Records | | | | View on www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz | Preview by Yahoo | | | |   | There is a marriage registered for Wolf Coronno & Cecily Harris - md 1929. And there are some burials at the Palmerston North Cemetery site (because one of the phone book entries was there):    http://www.pncc.govt.nz/services/onlineservices/cemetery-and-cremation-search/ Could not see anything at Gisborne or New Plymouth cemeteries.Cheers,jo  ____________ Jo Broad

    3. Searching for Henry John (aka Tex) CORONO (born 1941 Palmerston Nth ) on behalf of his brother who is living in Brisbane. Both these brothers were in the Royal New Zealand Navy in 1968, (both went by the nickname Tex) not sure when they left the Navy. John was married to Carole BAYE 1963 in Devonport, Auckland, NZ. I believe there was at least one child to the marriage in Auckland, possibly Nth. Shore.Auckland. Any information will be most welcome. TIA, Charmaine.

    2. Barry and Mary Boekman via
    3. Things seem to be quiet on the list at the moment, but I hope there are some lurkers out there who may be able to help me. I'm researching Lizzie (sometimes called Elizabeth) Harvey, born in Oxford, Canterbury on January 07 1881, later moving to Pungarehu in Taranaki. She married Frederick Wordsworth Smith in 1905. He died in 1909 and is buried in Stratford Kopuatama Cemetery. She married her cousin Alfred James Lee in 1912 in Christchurch. She died in Christchurch in October 1958, and she and Alfred are buried in Waimairi Cemetery. Are there any descendants of hers or of her relatives out there (she had 11 siblings and at least five children) who might happen to have a photo of her?. She's not related to me, but I'm doing a search for a descendant in Australia, who would love to have a photo. In hopes! Regards Mary

    1. [nz] The day we sailed. 16th August 1914
    2. Olwyn Whitehouse via
    3. http://www.nzmr.org/lists/transports1914.html Colonist, 19 August 1914, Page 2 Departure from Wellington Wellington, August 14. The command to set sail, which had been awaited for several days by the two transports carrying the advance party of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, was received suddenly late this afternoon. The troops were smartly mustered, and marched to the Basin Reserve, where a public farewell was given. The final, leave-taking was mercifully brief, and businesslike—a sober, quiet process, which made even the onlooker who had no relatives on the transports realise what a serious mission the gallant New Zealanders have undertaken. Even the troops did not know till 4 o'clock this afternoon that they were almost on the point of sailing. The two steamers, which had been far out in the harbour yesterday during a wet and stormy day, moved to the Clyde Quay wharf, a fine broad structure, early this morning. This gave the men a welcome stretch ashore, though only a few could get leave to go into, the town on business. Troopships are not good for promenading, as the advance guard found out early, but the sturdy young fellows—they are nearly all under 25—seemed to settle down very quickly to the. shipboard life. They lacked many little luxuries and comforts, which, however were readily supplied to-day by friends; active Boy Scouts voluntarily undertaknig the big business of fetching and carrying. This afternoon there was a scene of activity and animation. Relatives saying goodbye were elbowed by the busy Scouts. The crowd grew thicker as the afternoon wore on. Then the bugles sounded "Fall in." The khaki clad units rapidly detached themselves from the thronging mass, and lined up and numbered off with the celerity of old campaigners. The men marched along the half-mile of street to the ships accompained by thousands of friendly but undemonstrative citizens. Greetings were exchanged with the crowd and, if it was curbed by the sad little scenes witnessed at many points. Women, not caring who saw their tears, marched in line with relatives or sweethearts, and words of farewell, comfort and good wishes were exchanged. It was a' sober crowd and a peaceful sight, well in keeping with the people's 'feeling's. Cheers broke out from the troops when the embarkation, conducted with smoothness, had ended, and -the transports under friendly cover of the darkness, drew away on their journey to an unknown destination. Wanganui Chronicle 19 August 1914, Page 5 Wellington, August 18. Mr Massey stated to-day that the following will be the ships to convey the Expeditionary Force to England: Maunganui, Tahiti, Arawa, Athenic, Waimana, Star of India, Hawke's Bay, Ruapehu, Orari, and Limerick. All the transports are having their names painted out, and are being temporarily christened "H.M.N.Z.T. No. which stands for His Majesty's New Zealand Transport No. Poverty Bay Herald, 25 August 1914, Page 3 WELLINGTON, this day. It is a strange atmosphere, a atmosphere which is tinged with the sadness of farewell, but which is nevertheless pervaded with the cheerful confidence of the people in the ultimate outcome of the struggle, and by an unmistakable pride in the quality of the troops concentrated at Awapuni," writes tho correspondent of the Wellington Post from the Palmerston North encampment. They comprise men of all shades of society, squatters' sons, small farmers' sons, the sons of professional and business men in the smaller towns, men of independent means, and men in various other walks of life. They include many of the "specials" who acted in Wellington during the time of the strike, and with sufficient training can certainly be reckoned upon to give a good account, of themselves in Europe. "The only trouble we shall have with them," remarked an Imperial, officer, "will be to hold them from dashing too impetuously at the enemy but, that will come with time and experience. When they return they will be the smartest and best troops you have seen in New Zealand. WHY THEY VOLUNTEERED. The remark has, a bearing on the statement that many of the men would not have volunteered had they known that they were to be sent to Europe. Enquiries made showed that this suggestion is indignantly resented by the men. One officer pointed out that the enlisiters had been rather slow in coming in until it was announced that European service was intended, and that from then onwards enrolment proceeded vigorously. "I would not have enrolled myself for garrison duty in India or EgVpt." said the speaker. "That would only have meant constant drill, and we should have been left out of the fighting. You see we want to be in it." The last sentence certainly expresses the attitude of the men, and is actuated not only out of a sense of patriotism, but also by a desire to take an active part in the great drama and to help in overcoming the enemy of Europe and of the world's peace. Dominion, 25 August 1914, Page 4 THE SOLDIER'S FIRST DUTY Those who have visited the military camps at Palmerston North and elsewhere speak very highly of the physical fitness of the young men who have volunteered for our Expeditionary Force. They are sound in physique and that is a very important matter and there can be no doubt that the young New Zealandor is endowed with a full measure of the fighting spirit. The soldiers now in camp have placed themselves at the disposal of the Imperial authorities, and are prepared to go whenever and wherever they may be told, well knowing that a war like that in which the Empire is at present engaged involves serious hardship and grave risks. They may at present be only "halfbaked," but they are of the right stuff, and when the baking is complete they will be fit to fight shoulder to shoulder with the best soldiers in the British Army. The probabilities are that they will receive further training ere they are called on to enter into the line of battle. This appears to be the intention of Lord Kitchener, who seems determined that only picked troops shall be sent to fight on the Continent. He does not think that good health and plenty of enthusiasm are all that a soldier needs. These qualities are certainly essential, but it is equally important that the men who are to face the machine armies of Germany should know their business thoroughly. This means that they must be well drilled and disciplined. In modern warfare an undisciplined crowd, however courageous, has little chance of success when pitted against trained and seasoned troops; We do not yet know exactly where the New Zealand Expeditionary Force is going. General Sir Alexander Godley told the Canterbury Contingent that he was looking forward to seeing them again in a very short time. "It may be," he said, in England; it may be in Belgium; it may be in France; and I liopo it will eventually be in Berlin." The soldier cannot expect to have the whole plan of campaign explained to him. It is his first duty to obey —often without knowing the why or wherefore. He must trust those in command, and do his part to the best of his ability. The undisciplined soldier is worse than useless. He may even be a positive danger to his own side. http://www.rsa.org.nz/news/100-years-ago-NZ-troops-on-way-to-war http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/news/10627258/Trooper-a-silent-witness-to-war-effort
