| 1458 | Henry was the youngest, and the last of the brothers to arrive in New Zealand. He sailed from England on the Ionic and arrived in the Dominion in 1902. In 1903 he returned to England with his brother Francis and his wife and two children, Constance and Laurence. Here he entered Guy's Hospital and underwent major surgery, returning to New Zealand in 1905. After a brief period in Marton with his brother, Sidney he settled in Levin and traded as a draper and clothier having learned his trade in some of the large London warehouses. He continued in this business from 1907 until he retired in 1925. He was married in Wellington to Elizabeth Stewart Ballingall in 1910. During his retirement he interested himself in a number of community activities. As a member of the first Lake Domain Board he was closely associated with the early development of Lake Horowhenua. He had wide Masonic interests over a quarter of a century and was a Past Master of his Lodge. As an original member of the Fire Police Corps he rendered valuable service in that sphere. The activity most dear to his heart was the care and welfare of the children in the Otaki Health Camp. He enlarged his vegetable garden to almost half an acre for the express purpose of supplying vegetables for these children who came from the cities to take advantage of country life in a healthy and happy environment. His retirement was spent at his home "Mylor," in Levin where he died in 1940, at the age of 69 years. | WALKLEY, Henry (I04039)

| 1471 | Her name was given as Eliza Hollis, date of birth 10 May 1843, Ashton Under Lyne from the family bible. A note in the family tree from Alvin states "I notice an old note of mine, which I can't construe:'illegitimate and adopted by Miss Hollis, Katherine St, Under Lyne.' Who this note refers to I do not know." In the marriage record to William Torkington her name is given as Eliza Hollas. Her father is listed as Benjamin Grundy (manager). In the 1851 census there is an Eliza Hollas living in the household of Joseph and Sarah Hollas in Dukenfield (just south of Ashton Under Lyne). She is listed as a niece, aged 7 years old. In the 1861 the same Eliza Hollas is living with Sarah Hollas, listed as niece. A Benjamin Grundy born 1818 in Ashton Under Lyne, living in Ashton Under Lyne can be found in the 1861 England Census with his wife Harriet. Eldest son aged 12. His occupation is given as Engine Driver. In a probate record for Benjamin Grundy he is listed as a cotton mill manager. His wife is listed as Harriet Grundy of Ashton under Lyne. A DNA match is a descendent of this same Benjamin Grundy (through his son Frederick). I have the birth record for Eliza Grundy born 17 May 1843, father Benjamin Grundy, mother Sarah Grundy, formerly Hallows. Father's profession is given as Engineer. Place of birth is Hurst Nook, Hartshead. Hurst Nook is a small village in the district of Ashton Under Lyne. Is this the same Eliza? | HOLLAS, Eliza (I2)

When he left Otaki, Herbert moved to Feilding where he continued store keeping and it was here that William Gaston received his education at Feilding Agricultural High School.
