    • From Annette Poucher (sister of Peter Hooper):

      "Children: Vivian (aka Dick em. Australia) Alban (aka Joe) William (Bill) Hazel

      Nancy.m. Frank George Elizabeth (Betty) m. Bruce Hall

      Grandfather?s family are from the Hutt Valley. They came over with early settlers and settled on the Taita Flats There is a Church there near the railway lines that has the first Settler?s Grave, a Huge one as he was attended by his 3 wives (Succession) He by all accounts found God in his later years and bequeathed a window to the church. The church was destroyed by fire but rebuilt by Hooper?s a Carpentry Firm that existed in Taita in the 1990?s. Annette Poucher saw these Artifacts, as a 15 year old and as an adult revisiting. There were arguments, Grandad moved away Aunty Betty may know more."
