| 1254 | From "Miss Hutton and Friends", Catherine Beale Elizabeth Cartwright, afterwards Mrs. Coltman, and the mother of John and Samuel Coltman, of Elizabeth Heyrick and Mary Ann Coltman, was born in the year 1737 at the retired and pleasant village of Duffield in Derbyshire. Among her ancestors she remembered two great- grandfathers who had both served in the army of Oliver Cromwell. One of these, a lieutenant under General Ireton, returned, after the expiration of the wars, one Saturday evening to his native village of Duffield. On pulling off his boots, his stockings were found to have wasted away; and his shirt, worn into fragments, was committed to the flames. Retiring to bed, a luxury he had not known for nine weeks, he was at first restless, but falling asleep was left undisturbed ; when at length he awoke, he found the shops open, and every one pursuing their usual avocations ? he had slept over the Sabbath day ! At the Restoration, in the year 1660, he was offered a company, but he declined the service. Elizabeth Cartwright was the only child of her parents, and showed an early taste for mental cultiva- tion ; indeed, her mind soon proved itself of no mean order. She was an ardent admirer of the works of Nature, and possessed a talent for drawing; she had remarkable skill in the cutting of flowers, landscapes, etc., with her scissors, a beautiful specimen of which was shown to Queen Charlotte. She united a great deal of vivacity with much sweetness of disposition, and, possessing great beauty of countenance and grace- fulness of deportment, she was known among her friends by the familiar appellation of the "Lily of Duffield." .... Miss Hutton, writing in 1802, says, "Mrs. Coltman, when Miss Cartwright, was held up to me by my mother as the model of all earthly perfection, and I believe she deserved it better than most such models do.'* Ladies of the eighteenth century were, as a rule, very domesticated ; they could, to use Miss Hutton's words, make " flourishes in pastry," also " puddings and shirts," but Mrs. Coltman, notwithstanding her domestic habits, found time for literary pursuits ; and, before her marriage, she reviewed new works and contributed to the periodicals of the day Miss Hutton also had a high opinion of Mr. Coltman's character and literary attainments ; she says : " With a thorough knowledge of Latin and Greek, and a taste for reading that was always an avidity, and has now become a principle of his existence, he has been con- fined nearly all his life to the manufacture of worsted.* At first he despised the ignoble employment ; but habit has not only reconciled him to it, but even made it necessary. He spends many hours in the day in his warehouse, and always the evening in his study. . . . . Mr. Coltman's two sons only differ from the rest of the world in a superior understanding, and a strictness of morals which sets them above every kind of subterfuge or palliation. They also inherit their mother's talent of painting." | CARTWRIGHT, Elizabeth (I1219)
|
| 1255 | From "Soldiers and Sailors": "Robert John McNab and his wife, Jessie, sailed on the Spray as a young married couple without children. Jessie was the sister of Angus and Duncan Matheson. The McNabs lived in Durham Street, Auckland, where Robert was as a clerk until his early death in 1861." | MCNAB, Robert (I3271)
|
| 1256 | From "The Brown Frontier" by C.W. Vennell, Chapter 9 "The Boy on the Grey Horse" "The inn, kept by an adventurous character named Benjamin Smith, had been fortified with three-inch planks loopholed opposite the windows for rifle fire. But while it might provide rest, and perhaps protection, for the living, there was no rest there for the dead. Mrs Smith would have no bodies in her establishment, although her son did say that they might leave Hamlin's remains in a back shed." (Raewyn) | SMITH, Benjamin (I1282)
|
| 1257 | From "The Walkleys" booklet: He immigrated to New Zealand earlier than the Ward family and met them family at the wharf on their arrival to the country. The Wards lived with him on his farm for a couple of years after they arrived in the country. But actually he was born in New Zealand. His father Frederick immigrated. | SKIPWORTH, George (I3810)

| 1258 | From "Upper Hutt the History" by JA Kelleher 'John's youngest daughter, Gladys (Mrs Baigent), one of Eliza's grand-daughters, recalled (in a letter in 1967) that Grandmother was a sister of dear old uncle Bob Hooper, who lived at tte top of Horse-shoe bend above Brown Owl, about a quarter of a mile on the left, going to Kaitoke. Bob Hooper's son George, who had a large family, worked for Gladys's brother Frank and Charles and Maoribank. Alice and Myrtle were two of the family. Wrote Gladys: "I remember often going up to visit Uncle Bob, specially after his wife died and Emily, a maiden daughter, kept house or him till he died."' Chapter XI "The Special Places ", Page 158 The Eliza referred to here married George whiteman. | HOOPER, Robert (I3571)

| 1268 | From an e-mail from Carol to Vern, 2 May 2002 Hi Got another email from Carol Buchanan. Immediately below is the first email which was prompted by Ian Neil-Smith sending her a copy of the Smith Family photo which I had sent to him. Below that I have copied the most recent one. ------------------------ Greetings Vern I am Carol Buchanan nee Neil-Smith, Kathleen's eldest child but Neil's 4th and Ian is next up, being Aline and Neil's 3rd child. Therefore Ian is my half brother but none of our family really make the distinction except to identify ourselves to others! Ian has e-mailed the family photographs to me because when I was speaking to him at the weekend he mentioned that he had them, and our 2nd daughter Alice is very keen to have photographs of her great grandmothers, and Christina was the only one that we hadn't managed to find up until now! So firstly very many thanks. I am really very vague as to who all the subjects of the photograph are. Obviously the one on the extreme right is my father, no doubt about that, and my grandmother and grandfather are also quite obviously Christina and John. the 2 girls I also know about as my father sometimes spoke of his sisters Matty and Gerty I met Matty at Leigh when she was 90, we were up there and so called on her, and she showed me many photographs of her children but not really of her brothers and sister. I know that Ben was the eldest but which is he in the photograph? I also know that there was an Ivan and that Clive was the youngest. Many years ago I met and corresponded briefly with Alvin, and Kevin called to see my parents before I was married (nearly 40 years ago now!) but they are the next generation, are they both sons of Ivan? What a barrage of questions, I do apologise for being so vague about the family, the only excuse I have is that when Father was alive I only had a passing interest in such things, and he wasn't terribly communicative about his family anyway, or himself for that matter. I did not know that he had been to the 1st World War until Alice was on her OE to Britain and went to Caius College Cambridge and looked up the records of her grandfather Neil and learnt a great deal about him that I didn't know! Briefly about myself, I am married to Hamish Buchanan and we have 4 married children, who are all parents themselves, Kirsten Berry, Alice Buchanan (was married to a Neil Smith, no relationship had 2 sons, divorced, and has very recently remarried but keeps her maiden name), Rupert Buchanan and Eve Clive-Griffin. We have 6 grandchildren 3 of each sort! We are farming in the Wairarapa (100 kms north-east of Wellington).Best wishes Carol ----------------------- Here is the second which I have only just received. I had replied to her first email and sent her several photos of Christina and John Smith. ---------------------- Hello Vern, Very many thanks for the extra photos of my Grandmother and the one of them both when older. As they were coming through Hamish was standing and watching and his first impression was that I had a look of Christina! I can't see it myself and I was supposed to resemble my mother but maybe it was just an expression! Co-incidentally my "nickname" within the Neil-Smith family when we were young was also "Tina"! My second name is Christina. Alice is delighted to have it and we are going to ask Rupert who is a photographer if he can fix it up a bit, I am sure he can as he has managed to do several other Buchanan family ones either himself, or the really bad ones he passes on to a mate who specialises in photographic restoration, they do it from a photo of the photo so that the origional remains unaltered. Rupert travels, and is away this week so we will catch him when he is here next. Also thank you for all the information about the family, I would really love to know more - birth dates, occupations, children and date of deaths. I imagine that we must have lots of 1st cousins that we don't yet know about. Are all these questions a bother for you or can I find these things out without bothering you? We have a programme on the computer called "Family Tree Maker" and Hamish is currently very slowly researching his family, as time permits, and he says he could open up a tree of my side and then when and if our children want to know, it will all be here! You said that Vic, Neil and Norman were called up for war service, I understood from somewhere that 4 sons went to the !st W W and that all returned, which is very lucky, considering the history of other families, is this correct? Our children are older than Raewyn and Russell. Hamish and I were married when I was 20 in January 1963. My 60th birthday is in a fortnight, and Kirsten was born in February 1964, so is now 38 and Alice in December 1965 and is now 36. Then we had a gap of 4 years and Rupert was born in August 1970 and Eve in March 1972. All our daughters live very close to us, Kirsten and Mark have a vineyard about 6 miles away, Mark is a teacher at Rathkeale College and Kirsten is the secretary for the local primary school, Alice, and her new husband also Mark (who is an aeronautical engineer) are just 300 yards down the road living in the homestead, which is rather large and she has turned it into a function center for weddings, conventions and assorted parties, (she does the catering) she also farms some of the land, she has a website >www.wairarapa.co.nz/tekopi< which is where we lived for 37 years until we built our much smaller, warmer and altogether more suitable "retirement" house. Eve and Travis, her husband own and run a restaurant in Greytown called "Salute!" which was featured in the May 'Cuisine' magazine, and they are only 25 minutes away. Rupert and Kerryn live in Wellington. I have Oliver, aged 8 months Eve's child, today and so before he deletes all this I will send it on its way Regards Carol | NEIL-SMITH, Carol Christina (I341)
