This research is dedicated to Mr. Alan Charlesworth Armitage (1915- 2002) of Christchurch, who encouraged this research. His family roots NEW ZEALAND in England were in the West Riding. Originally Independents living at Hightown in the Spen Valley, here they joined the Primitive Methodists and then moved to Leeds. Subsequently some of the family moved to New Zealand where they became Wesleyan Methodists. PRIMITIVE METHODIST MINISTERS by CIRCUITS [2015] In 1988 the late William Leary published his Ministers & Circuits in the Primitive ABBREVIATIONS Methodist Church, a Directory which records the ministerial stationing. Ths accuracy of Leary’s listing in part is complicated by an inconsistency of B - born presenting material for the oversea stations – Australia/Australasia, Canada and CH - children New Zealand. His source for this research was the annual Primitive Methodist Ct. - circuit Conference. D - died - EM - entered ministry When conference met in late spring in the United Kingdom to decide the Kendall - H.B. Kendall, The Origin and History of the Primitive Methodist Church ministerial stationing, it was mid-winter in New Zealand. Given also the time 2 vols (London, Joseph Johnson, nd [c1905]) taken to get there from the United Kingdom, especially prior to the opening of HLP - hired local preacher the Suez Canal in 1869, the newly arrived minister might be go to another circuit LP - local preacher other than that in the Conference Minutes. The New Zealand Conference also M - married met in the spring, mid-winter in the United Kingdom MinTr - ministerial training MT - New Zealand Methodist Times One further complication is not so much that ministers served both in the NZ Meth Ch – New Zealand Methodist Church [post 1913] United Kingdom and New Zealand, but some served both in Australia and New NZ Mins – New Zealand Methodist Minutes of Conference Zealand (Australasia), and a few also in Canada. NZPM - New Zealand Primitive Methodist Petty - John Petty (rev. Macpherson), The History of the Primitive Methodist There are clear differences between what William Leary recorded from the Connexion (1880 ed) Conference Minutes {left column) and what can be concluded from New PM Mag - Primitive Methodist Magazine Zealand sources (right column), which includes J. Guy, W.S. Potter, Jubilee PM Mins- Primitive Methodist Minutes of Conference [UK} Memorial Volume, or, Fifty Years of Primitive Methodism in New Zealand Port - portrait (1897). These can be detected by comparing the two columns. There are also Ref - reference some contradictions within the NZ sources. Rep - representative Sec - secretary It has also been possible to give the circuits of ministers after Primitive supern - supernumerary Methodism joined the united New Zealand Methodist Church in 1913. Tr - training UK - United Kingdom This new listing is an attempt both to reconcile two main sources and also enables contradictions to be identified D.

They are part of parish and church records held in the Methodist Archives. Registers can date from the first Wesleyan missionaries’ time in New Zealand during the 1830s, through to the present day. They include all branches of Methodism in New Zealand: Primitive Methodist, Wesleyan, United Free Methodist, and Bible Christian. Some registers, particularly those still in use, are held by parishes. Details of how to contact parishes are on the Methodist Church website www.methodist.org.nz In the case of union or combined parishes, registers containing Methodist baptisms may be held by other repositories such as the Presbyterian Archives and Anglican Archives. The format of baptism registers varied over the years. Early registers often only contained the name of the person being baptised, the date of baptism, the district they lived in and the name of the minister performing the baptism. Later on, when standard baptism registers were printed and distributed by the Methodist Church, more information was added, such as birth date, names of parents, their address and the parish or circuit in which the baptism was taking place. This information varies from register to register – the most basic register is a notebook ruled with lines and often these registers carried on being used until they were full.

    Charlie Crosdale and Jack Palmer

    3. A crew assembles: Charlie Crosdale and Jack Palmer It was Squadron Leader A. D. Carey’s job. The Station Administrative Officer at RAAF Station Laverton initiated preparations on Friday, 9 August 1940 for a flight on Tuesday, August 13 to ‘Convey Minister for Air and five other passengers to Canberra A.C.T.’ Alfred Carey’s Flying Operation Instruction No. 111 advised that the aircraft would be one of No. 2 Squadron’s latest acquisitions, a Lockheed Hudson bomber, A16-97. The captain and crew for the flight to Canberra were to be detailed by No. 2 Squadron’s commanding officer. When their delivery of important people to the capital was completed the intention was that, in the absence of alternative orders, A16-97 should return to Laverton, empty save for ballast and its crew of four.1 A16-97 was one of the second batch of 50 Hudsons delivered to the RAAF from the Lockheed plant in California. Of the 100 Hudsons in the country at the end of July 1940 two had already been ‘written off by conversion’ as a result of crashes. One was undergoing ‘major repair owing to crash’, and another two had been ‘robbed of various parts’. The last four machines in the second group were fitted with seven passenger seats as well as dual controls. These specially fitted Hudsons were to be dispersed to bases around the country. They would form part of a Hudson squadron reserve at Richmond, Pearce, Darwin, and Laverton, and be available to transport ‘essential maintenance stores and personnel to advanced operational bases’.

    Māori Election Petitions of the 1870S: Microcosms of Dynamic Māori and Pākehā Political Forces

    Māori Election Petitions of the 1870s: Microcosms of Dynamic Māori and Pākehā Political Forces PAERAU WARBRICK Abstract Māori election petitions to the 1876 Eastern Māori and the 1879 Northern Māori elections were high-stakes political manoeuvres. The outcomes of such challenges were significant in the weighting of political power in Wellington. This was a time in New Zealand politics well before the formation of political parties. Political alignments were defined by a mixture of individual charismatic men with a smattering of provincial sympathies and individual and group economic interests. Larger-than-life Māori and Pākehā political characters were involved in the election petitions, providing a window not only into the complex Māori political relationships involved, but also into the stormy Pākehā political world of the 1870s. And this is the great lesson about election petitions. They involve raw politics, with all the political theatre and power play, which have as much significance in today’s politics as they did in the past. Election petitions are much more than legal challenges to electoral races. There are personalities involved, and ideological stances between the contesting individuals and groups that back those individuals. Māori had to navigate both the Pākehā realm of central and provincial politics as well as the realm of Māori kin-group politics at the whānau, hapū and iwi levels of Māoridom. The political complexities of these 1870s Māori election petitions were but a microcosm of dynamic Māori and Pākehā political forces in New Zealand society at the time. At Waitetuna, not far from modern day Raglan in the Waikato area, the Māori meeting house was chosen as one of the many polling booths for the Western Māori electorate in the 1908 general election.1 At 10.30 a.m.
