1301 From CS Clarke's Diary, 29 June 1915:
"I heard in the evening that Angus Matheson Alec Mathesons eldest son had died at 1pm to day in a Wellington Hospital, he was in training in Trentham Camp for the expeditionary force." 
MATHESON, Angus (I204)

1305 From CSC diary 22 August 1902:
"Mrs McKay died in Auckland yesterday and was brought here by the "Rob Roy" early this morning. Alec Matheson came to ask if I would read the service.. The funeral was at 2 pm in the Cemetery, I officiated at the grave, she was buried alongside of her first husband (Mr Maitland)."

Dad's query to me:
I have three identical pictures of (I believe) this woman, on the reverse side of one of them is written 'Johanna MacKay'.
Another of my pictures of this woman has on the reverse side "Mrs Maitland nee Maggie Matheson".

My conclusion is that the wrong name was put on the second of these. Her mother was named Margaret, so it's possible that whoever wrote the caption got confused between the name of the mother and daughter.

1312 From Dorothy Davies account of her Torkington family:

The same Uncle John was a very clever, brainy kind of fellow. He was the youngest of a family of 8, and had been highly educated, for those days. He had learned French and shorthand and was a journalist and a lino typist working on the Middleton Guardian before he came out to N.Z. He was a great mathematician and it was reckoned that he could solve any mathematical problem one liked to give him. He always knew when eclipses of the sun and moon were going to occur, just by his reckoning. He told the time of day by a sundial he had made. That was quite good for a sunshine day but not much good for a dull or wet day. He was a confirmed bachelor and was rather fond of his grog although I must say that I never once saw him drunk or the worse for liquor. All round, his cleverness and knowledge was rather wasted as he made no use of it whatsoever. The rest of family reckoned that when he was young, being the baby of the family, his mother spoiled him dreadfully. When I first remember him he was living in one of the places that William, his brother, had built, where Dawsie Birdsall's orchard is now. The second one with the pink roses and may bushes in the front garden. I remember he used to bake large sultana cakes in a baking dish and when we children visited him he would give us a good big slice of this cake which we reckoned was about the best cake we had ever tasted; especially when it was just fresh out of the oven. At one time, when he was older, he lived in a kind of shanty shack place on the gum flat. It is now called Pt. Wells.

New Parks House, Leicester
The New Parks was in origin an area of Leicester Forest which was separated from the rest and surrounded by a pale in 1526. It contained a lodge, Bird?s Nest Lodge, which was rebuilt in 1377-78 and extensively repaired in 1525-26; it was then a moated building with a drawbridge. It was still standing in 1560 but had disappeared by 1790, except for the moat, which survived until the area was built over about 1950. The New Parks passed out of Crown hands in the late 16th century and by 1781 belonged to a Mr Clarke. The Clarke family remained the owners until 1843, when a good deal of the northern part was acquired by Thomas Stokes, a Leicester hosier, who built New Parks House in 1845-46. This ?undistinguished brick mansion? (so described by the VCH) seems to have been acquired by Leicester City Council in 1933-37 when it was buying up the New Parks for housing development. It was stuccoed with superficial Tudor details. A large housing estate was built after the War, but New Parks House itself survives and is used by the City Council as education offices, after a period as part of a school.

Matheson passengers on "The Spray":

"Margaret (Peg) Matheson.

Margaret Matheson, a widow, sailed with her daughters Margaret, Ann, Catherine and Johanna Matheson"

The passenger list for the Spray gives a Widow Matheson with 5 members of the family, so this stacks up.

Stephen Archer also married Mary Hind in 1755. This might indicate that the above was indeed a second marriage.

1330 From Margaret Read via email to Nigel Heremaia:

"Hi there!

Just saw you on Gedmatch and noticed the close match we have. Tracked you in Ancestry and looked at your family tree. Have identified where our family trees match.

I am the great granddaughter of Phoebe Ward who married my Great Grandfather John Frederick Colton Rose. See attached photos of them.

Phoebe Ward was the niece of George Ward (b 1822) who is in your family tree. (She's the daughter of George's brother John.)

If you want an invite to my family tree on Ancestry, let me know.

Best regards,

Margaret Read"

Raewyn's note: this analysis of the match was based on incorrect family tree information. George's brother John, not George is in fact our direct ancestor.

1333 From ms note in CHutton. Married a Platt? CLARKE, Maud Mary (I1203)
 
1334 From my old ms note in CHutton. See ib. p. 110. p. 165. 'Of Leicester' - Alvin's chart, 1951. Of Leicester. COLTMAN, Sarah (I1200)
 
1335 From Nigel's tree, the children were:

James Ward
1837?
Mary Ann Ward
1840?
George Ward
1843?
Betsey Ward
1845?
Eliza Ward
1847?
Harriot Ward
1850?

Ancestry Thrulines gave me the following hint.

Eliza married Joseph Smith Revill and they had a daughter called Ellen. She married James Plaskett.

DNA match jessmoore87 is the grandaughter of their daughter Florence May Plaskitt.
9 cM. 4C2R.

This seems to check out, though there is a question of different birth places given for Eliza in different trees.
