| 2770 | There is an obituary for her, NORTHERN ADVOCATE, 31 MARCH 1923, PAGE 4. | LANG, Ann Wright (I585)
|
| 2771 | There is lots of information on George and Eliza Whiteman in the book "Upper Hutt - the History" by JA Kelleher, in the chapter "The Special Places". | HOOPER, Eliza (I3647)
|
| 2772 | There is no evidence that John Clarke or his family ever resided in the manor house at Tur Langton. Perhaps he purchased the estate with the intention to move there? What happened to it after his death is unknown. This needs further research. | CLARKE, John (I1199)
|
| 2773 | There is quite a lot of information about her in S&S page 322. She lived in "Tower House" at Grey Lynn. This must be 4 Franklin Road, Ponsonby, the address that was given in Captain James Smith's death notice. This is a large Victorian house with a tower that is still standing and has recently been renovated. No children. Smith's Bush, Northcote road is named after them. | CAMPBELL, Catherine (I103)
|
| 2774 | There seems to have been two really old Torkington houses on the Torkington properties at Ti Point. One of these is the house shown on Lot 149 as 'Torkington's House'. This is in the sou-west corner of that lot. The southern boundary of that lot appears to be the line that forms the southern boundary of 'Aunty Lizzie's section', which became Syd's section.I have an earlier description (24 Apr 1972) of this house as being 'on the ridge near Ti Tree Hill'. The other house is a house that was 'near Ted's cowshed', which was near the first curve on the higher part of the Ti Point Road. This location is near Bill England's gate. It is on the west side of the road. There were two Torkington brothers involved: William (arrived NZ 1887), and James (arrived NZ 1892 ). My guess is that the first house, on lot 149, was William's house, and the second house was a temporary house of James's. James ultimately lived in the Dome Valley. One of these houses, it is said, 'blew over'. I take it that James's house was a temporary shack, where he lived while he negotiated for land in the Dome Valley, and that it is this house that 'blew over'. Perhaps it was merely abandoned, and and in due course it fell down. -- Notes by Alvin Smith | TORKINGTON, William (I1)

| 2775 | There was a Beatrice Hudson visiting Mary Morris on Census night. | HUDSON, Beatrice Mary (I1257)
|
| 2776 | There was a child who died in infancy, born about 1955. | CLARKE, Francis (I3303)
|
| 2777 | There was a different Torkington family, Mr WJ Torkington, Elizabeth, Sarah, William and Hannah, who left London for Wellington on the 6th of March 1891. I can't find who this family are or any relationship to our Torkingtons. | TORKINGTON, William (I1)
|
| 2778 | There was also one child (of #1239) who died in infancy. | CLARKE, John Sanders (I1212)
|
| 2779 | There was an Eliza Grundy born 2nd quarter 1843, mother's maiden name Hallows. England & Wales birth index on FindMyPast and Ancestry and FamilySearch. | HOLLAS, Eliza (I2)
|
| 2780 | There were children. | WAHLERS, - (I2096)
|
| 2781 | There were more children also, including William Alexander Wyatt b. 1814 and James Wyatt b. 1816 | Family: WYATT, William / SHORT, Mary (F728)
|
| 2782 | There were two Edward Scotts born around the same time in the same area: Edward Scott Oct/Nov/Dec 1854 Spilsby Edward Scott Jul/Aug/Sep 1855 Spilsby A DNA match for Mum (J.R.) is a descendent of a different Edward Scott that lived in the same area (different spouse, different children). Their Edward Scott is listed with parents James and Sarah Scott. In the 1871 census, one Edward Scott was living with parents James and Sarah Scott. His birthplace is Toynton St Peters. Another Edward Scott was employed as a groom in nearby Revesby, his birthplace is Holton. I can't find an 1861 census entry for the groom Edward Scott. It wasn't clear which of these is our ancestor, and which is the "other" Edward Scott. However the son of James and Sarah married Emily Bailey in 1878 (James is given as father on the marriage certificate). Birthplace is consistently given as Toynton St Peter for this Edward Scott. Our Edward Scott has birth places on the census as "Toynton by Spilsby", "Halton on Spilsby" and "Toynton". The son of James and Sarah was born in 1855 in Toynton St Peter (parents are listed). I ordered a birth certificate for the Edward Scott born in 1854. Birth date is 13 September 1854. The birthplace is "Halton" (in the district of Spilsby), parents are John Scott and Rebecca Scott (formery Cramm). I will go on the assumption that this is indeed our ancestor. Edward (groom)'s father John was the brother of James Scott, the other Edward's father. | SCOTT, Edward (I2131)

| 2783 | There's a Lemington near Newcastle upon Tyne. | CLARKE, Charles G P (I3171)

| 2784 | There's a photo of a group of women, at a 'spinning frolic', at Murdoch McGregor's residence. Included in the list of women is 'Mrs Eohann Matheson'. The photo is reproduced in The Gael Fares Forth p 112. Eohann is a gaelic form of Ewen. The photo shows Mrs Matheson as an indistinct figure in the back row on the left at her spinning wheel. | CAMERON, Isabella (I63)
|
| 2785 | These notes were compiled by Pat Heremaia based on his conversations with William (Bill) Ward: Frederick Ward came from Kirkstead, Lincolnshire, England. We are uncertain as to when Frederick was born but it must have been between 1880 and 1890. Frederick emigrated with his wife Lillian Scott and his children, Betsey, Bill [William], and Maud in 1914 on the ship "Ionic". Bill Ward told us that his father Frederick had left Kirkstead after an argument with his father William Ward. The "Ionic" landed in Lyttleton. Frederick, Lillian and family were met at the wharf by Frederick's nephew, George Skipworth who had emigrated earlier to NZ. [George's mother was Bill Ward's aunty, Betsey Ward]. Go to the following web site to get details of Frederick & his family's trip to New Zealand. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nzbound/ionic1913.htm R.M.S. "IONIC", (Twin Screw) 12,232 Tons, from London on 4th December and Plymouth 6th December, 1913. Commander - C. E. Starck, R.N.R. Surgeon - C.H. Wilson, L.R.C.P. &S. (Ireland) Purser - G.A. Holmes Shaw Savill & Albion Company, Limited Direct four-weekly service of Royal Mail Steamers between LONDON AND NEW ZEALAND calling at Plymouth, Teneriffe, Cape Town, and Hobart. 529 passengers travelled as Third Class. The vessel had a capacity for 688 passengers. There was passenger accommodation for 121-1st, 117-2nd and 450-3rd class. Mary Ward was born about 6 weeks after the "Ionic" landed at Lyttleton. Frederick and his family went to live in Invercargill at Nightcaps on George Skipworth's farm for about a year. Uncle Harold told Frederick about a sharemilking job at McKennah's farm in Kakaramea, Taranaki. In 1915 Frederick moved up to the North Island to Kakaramea. He began sharemilking with Kate Grey, Lillian Scott's sister on a farm down Whitehead's Lane. Whitehead's Lane is situated just north of Patea, on a hill overlooking Pariroa Pa, which is where Pat Heremaia was born in 1942. Pat Heremaia married Frederick's grand daughter, Jocelyn Ward, Bill [William] Ward's daughter in 1967. Frederick lived in Kakaramea for 2 to 3 years. In the Kakaramea Primary School 125 Years Jubilee Book printed in 2001, Betsy & Bill Ward, appeared on the 1916 Kakaramea school roll. Frederick and Lillian moved north around about 1918 with their family to work on a farm owned by Tom Struthers, between Hawera and Normanby. All the children walked 3 miles to the local Normanby Primary School. Frederick died of double pneumonia on the 20 June, 1920 and was buried at the Hawera Cemetery. Ethyl was about 6 weeks old then. She was born in the Normanby Nursing home 6 years younger than Mary. Bill said that his mother Lillian had about $11,000 [pounds] when his father died. Aunt Mary was living with his mother & the family in Normanby and she was the one who pursuaded his mother to return to Kakaramea to buy Lord's farm opposite the Kakaramea Dairy factory. Lillian and family moved back to Kakaramea buying the farm and purchasing stock for the farm. Betsey, William, Maud and Mary appear on the Kakaramea primary school roll in 1920 and Lillian's name appears on the list of "Kakaramea Residents in 1930" in the Kakaramea School & District 125 Years Jubilee Book written by Michael Condon; [p126-127. ] Bill said that uncle Will and Aunt Mary were to manage the farm. Aunty Mary, Lillian's sister was a very domineering person compared to her docile husband, uncle Will and she dominated the household. Uncle Will was a qualified boilerman and he worked at the Kakaramea cheese factory opposite the farm. Mrs. Dowden was the wife of the 1st assistant of the Dairy factory and teacher at the Kakaramea school. There was dissention over the farm, so a court case was held and Lillian won. Lillian sold the farm and bought the cottage down Whitehouse lane. Mary began working at the Patea hospital when Lillian was there. The old house was taken over by the Jones family. Ethyl became very ill with meningitis and died. About 2 months later Lillian died. Lillian died in 1930 and was buried in the Patea cemetery. Aunty Mary and Uncle Will shifted to Taihape to stay with Mary's other sister, Aunt Kate. Uncle Will worked on the railway there until he died. They are both buried in Taihape. The Public Trust took over the cottage in Whitehouse Lane and sold it. Betty married Fred Rogers and she went to Wellington to work at the hospital there. Fred got transferred to Whangarei and Mary went north with Betty and Fred, and she met Alan in Whangarei. Bill Ward worked for few years on Jim Huston's farm in Kakaramea then went north to Kumeu, north west of Auckland where he settled working on farms in the district.

| 2793 | This child is named 'Harold' in my notes. Born in Melbourne (Mavis Russell). No issue. | TORKINGTON, Henry Arthur (I1044)
|
| 2794 | This child might well be the 'Roy' who died in infancy. | MEIKLEJOHN, Evan Ray (I2983)
|
| 2795 | This child was born with deficiencies, but she went to school, and she was mothered there by Val Matheson and by one ofhte Frost grils. Her mode of speaking remained infantile, and she received specail consideration from the teacher, whooften lifted her up on to his lap and, as the rest of the class sat around and listened, 'told the story' directly tothe child. | MATHESON, Colleen Lorna (I264)

| 2799 | This house was owned by Ethel's parents. When Martha died (she died in 1941 and Sidney in 1942) some of the family wanted Ethel to buy it, but she didn't want the responsibility of owning a house. Her sister Sophie ended up buying it instead. Source: Marion Roberts from a 2010 recorded interview. | WALKLEY, Sidney Stanley (I03913)
