• Notes

  This must be the "Kathy Smith" referred to in the caption of a photo of Donald Campbell. 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. Lived at Conquest Place, Parnell in 1878 (marriage notice in NZ Herald of wedding that took place at their house). NEW ZEALAND HERALD, VOLUME LXXI, ISSUE 21904, 13 SEPTEMBER 1934, PAGE 15 Reports on a legal battle about her will. She was very rich when she died. Her probate file is available online from the Archives New Zealand site (I couldn't find it on Family Search). She had a long list of benefactors including nieces and nephews and lots of charities.
