In 1874, my Gt Grandparents, John & Caroline MOORCOCK arrived on the Bebbington at Napier. They had bought land at Blackburn , central Hawkes Bay. Apparently they walked with 2 small children, ( one born on board ship ), to Waipawa, where they bought groceries from Bibby's Store, before making their was along the Tuki Tuki river, to bare land. All MOORCOCK / MORECOCK in N.Z. are related, unless someone has arrived in the past 20 or so years. John & Caroline Moorcock, became Bankrupt, moved to Napier briefly, about 1886, were then discharged from Bankruptcy, I suppose by selling their land. The family show in the School Rolls, & Electoral Rolls, Northern Wairarapa, at Mauriceville West, Hastwell, Mangamahoe. Then in the B.O.P. at Opouriao, Taneatua, & Whakatane areas By this time Caroline & John were at different addreses on the Electoral Rolls. John last shows in Tikokino 1909 1910. Also at Tikokino, at this time, was Charlotte Moorcock, a Nurse. Was Charlotte the new woman in John's life ? We know that he went to Australia, had 2 new daughters, (who may have been born in either country, names unknown, ) & Charlotte does not show further. Noone knows when & where he died. I have been delighted when the name shows in the News Paper transcripts on this site. I would love to know more about the 1/2 sisters of my Grandmother, or, in fact anything further about the family that shows. Mary Legarth
