BY ROSS SUTTON

Members of the Corcoran, Parr and Sutton families will come together at Labour weekend to celebrate their families’ contribution to the district and country. In 1874 Patrick and Mary Corcoran landed in Auckland aboard the Loch Awe and headed to Hamilton by coach and boat. They rented a small cottage in Hamilton East where Patrick set out to find work. At first he worked on draining the Mangapiko swamp and then farm work around Kihikihi. They shifted to Hairini where their children attended the Kihikihi School. In 1895 the family purchased a block of land on the slopes of Mount Pirongia. It was on Von Tempsky Road, which in the 1930s became Corcoran Road. The farm is owned by the present Mayor, Alan Livingston. Patrick was murdered by Heinrich Pohlen TC161012SP05B over a boundary dispute in 1897 and he is buried CORCORAN family of Te Pahu (from left) Jim, Patrick, Bridget, Hughie and Mick in the Rangioawhia cemetery at Hairini.
