  • Bromley Cemetery Guide
    Bromley Cemetery Tour Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 Block 1A Row C No. 33 Hurd Born at Hinton, England, Frank James Hurd emigrated with his parents. He worked as a contractor and, in 1896, in Wellington, married Lizzie Coker. The bride, 70, claimed to be 51 while the groom, 40, gave his age as 47. Lizzie had emigrated on the Regina in 1859 with her cousin, James Gapes (later Mayor of Christchurch) and his family and had already been twice-wed. Indeed, the property she had inherited from her first husband, George Allen, had enabled her second spouse, John Etherden Coker, to build the Manchester Street hotel which bears his name. Lizzie and Frank were able to make trips to England and to Canada where there dwelt Lizzie’s brother, once a member of the Horse Guards. Lizzie died in 1910 and, two years later, Hurd married again. He and his wife lived at 630 Barbadoes Street. Hurd was a big man who, in old age he had a white moustache, cap and walking stick. He died, at 85, on 1 April 1942. Provisions of Lizzie’s will meant that a sum of money now came to the descendants of James Gapes. They were now so numerous that the women of the tribe could spend their inheritance on a new hat and have nothing left over. Block 2 Row B No. 406 Brodrick Thomas Noel Brodrick – known as Noel - was born in London on 25 December 1855. In 1860 the Brodricks emigrated on the Nimrod.

  • Regional Transport Committee Approved Organisation Update June 2019
    Regional Transport Committee Approved Organisation Update June 2019 ORGANISATION NAME: Horowhenua District Council RTC REPRESENTATIVE: Mayor Michael Feyen 1. MAINTENANCE, OPERATIONS AND RENEWALS Pavement repairs and drainage work for next season’s reseals have begun around the district. This year’s reseals, which were undertaken by JJ Walters as subcontractors to Higgins, had all but one site completed by mid-December with the final site completed in April following completion of a minor safety improvement project. The road past the Gladstone Road slip has continued to be open full time. Geotechnical investigations have been carried out along the corridor of a possible realignment. The development of a business case has begun and a variation to the RLTP will be forthcoming. Work on this financial year’s rehabilitations progressed well except on Waitarere Beach Road where the discovery of a midden has held work up. The project has now been delayed until the new financial year. 2. WALKING AND CYCLING Council officers have met with the NZ Transport Agency and KiwiRail regarding a proposed shared pathway in the rail reserve in Levin from Tararua Road to Roslyn Road. This pathway would become the north/south spine for the shared pathway network through the town. KiwiRail have issues with trespassers illegally crossing the railway line all along the rail corridor in Levin and a fence could be installed at the same time to alleviate this concern. 3. ROAD SAFETY RURAL SPEED LIMIT REVIEW HDC have been undergoing a Rural Speed Limit Review with the aim to implement any new rural speed limits by the end of the financial year.

  • English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records
    T iPlCTP \jrIRG by Lot L I B RAHY OF THL UN IVER.SITY Of ILLINOIS 975.5 D4-5"e ILL. HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

  • Biography of Frederick Wilhelm Koberstein of New Zealand
    Biography of Frederick Wilhelm Koberstein of New Zealand The beginning starting from the end: Frederick Wilhelm Sr. died January 21 1912 at Rongotea, New Zealand at the age of 94. Here is his obituary from the newspaper, “Feilding Star” Volume VI, Issue 1700, 22 January 1912. This serves a good record to survey this first family and their locations at his death. It says he arrived in this district in 1876, the same year of their immigration. One can surmise from this that they had arrangements made in advance to come to this area. The obituary says he was a good citizen, had the respect of all his neighbours and had a strong constitution. This document indicates he had five sons and one daughter. Now, we have to make a correlation between the names given here and those above. The daughter, Emily, is obviously the now married Mrs. C. Hartley living at Wellington. Here are the five sons: 1. William now living at Colyton (Manawatu district). This must be Frederick Wilhelm Jr. called William to distinguish him from his father who was often referred to as F.W. in the Feilding Star newspaper. 2. Amco of Patea (South Taranaki district of Taranaki region). It is unclear which of the remaining three this is. 3. Carl of Queensland (The only Queensland apparent on modern maps is near Sydney Australia. This name must be for a town no longer known by that name. It is unclear which of the remaining three this is. 4. Fred of Wellington (Wellington region). This would obviously be Ferdinand.

  • The Story of Christchurch, New Zealand
    THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. JOHN ROBERT GODLEY, The Founder of Canterbury. THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH NEW ZEALAND. BY HENRY F. WIGRAM. CHRISTCHURCH: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY THE LYTTELTON TIMES Co., LTH I91B. 430 PREFACE. The story of the foundation and early growth of Canterbury was first told to me, bit by bit, more than thirty years ago, some of it by men and women who had actually taken part in the founding of the settlement, and shaping its destiny, and some by late-comers, who had followed closely on the heels of the pioneers. There were many people then living who delighted in talking of their strenuous life in the pioneering days, " when all the world was young," and in telling of events which are now passing into silent history. Many of the stories I heard then are still vivid in my memory, little episodes illustrating the daily life of a community which had to do everything for itself survey, settle, stock and till the land, build its own roads, bridges and railways, form its own religious, educa- tional, political and social institutions, and construct its own local government. It is no wonder that coming from the valley of the Thames, where the results of centuries of civilisation had come to be accepted as the natural condition of nineteenth century existence, I found the contrast interesting and inspiring. My wife and I were received with the kindly hospi- tality so typical of the time and country. Amongst our immediate neighbours at Upper Riccarton were many old settlers. Mr.

  • Muritai School
    Muritai School Eastbourne The Researcher Robin Carlyon went to Muritai School for all his Primary School Education 1946-1954 1897-1898 1897 8 Muratai Dorizac Elenor E Female £ 30.00 1898 7 Muratai Dorizac Eleanor E Female £ 26.50 House House means a dwelling was provided for by thee Wellington Education Board 30th January 1896 The chairman was requested to enquire as to the qualifications of Miss Dorizac, who was recommended to be put in charge of the Pencarrow aided school. 6th February 1896 Part of an article called Tea Table Topics I am not an advocate of cycling as an exercise for women as a rule, but I must confess that graceful ' wheel-women' may be counted by the score at Eastbourne, where everyone rides on cycles. The most fastidious person could find nothing to object to in the' appearance of the lair damsels as they skip airily along on their machines, while the costumes should delight the heart of Mrs Grundy. They invariably consist of well-made skirts, almost like a riding-habit, and just long enough to conceal the ankles, and either a neat blouse or a trim coat, the former being most usual on account of the hot weather. I have not seen one single knickerbocker costume even by way of exception. 22nd July 1897 Another piece from Tea Table Topics The residents of Muritai gave an extremely jolly dance at Thomas’ Hall last week. Muritai —for the information of those who are ignorant of a place which is rapidly growing in popularity —is situated little more than a mile south of Day’s Bay.
