The Macphersons of the Far North of New Zealand The Macphersons of the Far North of New Zealand Reynold Macpherson, 5 February 2011 Alfred Sinclair Macpherson, 1895-1968 Eric Gordon Macpherson, 1907-1979 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz The Macphersons of the Far North of New Zealand1 Reynold Macpherson, 5 February 2011 Introduction My earliest memory is of Queen Victoria‟s breasts, although at first I assumed that they were Papatuanuku‟s. At the top of the Mangatoetoe (plume grass stream) Valley where I was raised are a pair of rounded hills (see right). A.W. Reed reputedly claimed in Place Names of New Zealand that they were “Named in honour of the Great White Queen, The Breasts of Kuini Wikitoria,” to which a leading historian of the Far North observed dryly that “it is doubtful whether she would have appreciated this honour done to her by her Māori subjects.” (Ramsey, 2001, p. 2) Like most New Zealanders, I learned early the Māori creation myth which explains that the Earth Mother, Papatuanuku, nurtures humankind under the gaze of Ranginui the Sky Father. Ranginui sometimes weeps at being separated forever from his lover by their children; the gods of the forest, sea, weather, peace and war, and their descendents, people. This showed that when I first „situated my appreciation‟ of the view from our lounge room window, instead of „appreciating the situation,‟ my early imagination was already shaped by a blend of Anglo-Celtic and Māori perspectives. With this context of largely unrealised and ongoing interculturalism in mind, I will now explain how Macphersons came to be in the Far North of New Zealand, not knowing if they were related to the McPhersons, living plural lifestyles in a Polynesian paradise, and integrated with many other families of British, Māori and Dalmation descent. What we have all benefitted from is Papatuanuku‟s bounty; a profusion of protein. The name of the main town in the Far North, Kaitaia, is appropriate; it means food in abundance. Three people led the Macphersons into the Far North; Frank McPherson (born about 1874 died about 16 February 1922), Alfred Sinclair Macpherson (left), and his brother Eric Gordon „Gordon‟ Macpherson (right). Alfred (born 20 April 1895 died 20 February 1968 aged 72) was the eldest son of Henry „Harry‟ Macpherson and Lily Halliwell of Headingly Hall in Leeds. Gordon (born 1 June 1907 died 24 January 1979 aged 71) was their 1 This title refers to all Macphersons, McPhersons, MackPhersons, MacPhersons, McFersons, MacPhearsons and McPhearsons, whatever the spelling of their surname. The spelling of our surname has varied over the years, to the point where spelling can‟t be used to confirm or deny a relationship. In this chapter, I will use the exact spelling as used by each person and family I have researched. In any case, these many spellings of our surname all mean the same thing in the Scottish Highlands; son of a parson. A parson was a local administrator of a church and its lands, not the priest. A parson was a secular leader of a church community, not a religious leader. A parson was appointed by the community with the office often being passed on from father to son. Priests were appointed from afar by the Church. Finally, priests were expected to remain celibate while parsons were not; which is fortunate for all Macphersons, as this chapter well demonstrates. 2 fifth child. Another chapter in this family history, The Macphersons of Leeds 1834 to 2010, explains that Henry and Lily had a family of eight children born between 1895 and 1917. Another chapter explains how they lost their fourth child on 14 October 1917; Henry Douglas Macpherson, a fighter pilot in the First World War. Another chapter will report what is known of the life and descendents of Frank McPherson Alfred and Gordon Macpherson, World War One As explained in the Macphersons of Leeds chapter, Alfred and Gordon were both sons of Henry „Harry‟ Macpherson. He was an industrialist who helped his older brother William Walker Macpherson manage the Wellington Foundry in Leeds that made textile making machinery and tools. They attended Sedburgh School (2010, April 2), a famous boarding school in Cumbria, in the North West of England near the border with Scotland. They attended Sedburgh Preparatory School (see right) for their primary education and then the main school for their secondary education. Sedburgh School has a long and distinguished history as a private school. It was founded in 1525 by Roger Lupton, Provost of Eton College. It is famous for its rugby teams, „outward bound‟ activities, scholarly achievements and dignified cloisters that record the names of all pupils and teachers known to have died in the two World Wars. In Alfred and Gordon‟s day it had a reputation for Spartan routines, cold showers and early morning runs with physical punishment common. These practices ended by the 1970s, although they reappeared in Alfred‟s treatment of his own children in New Zealand in the 1920s and 1930s. The school enrolled its first young women in 2001 and today admits 13 to 18 year olds from the English and Scottish upper middle class. It provides an Anglican curriculum that stresses a well rounded preparation for leadership in private enterprise or in public service. Alfred proved a moderate scholar at Sedburgh, excelling at swimming. He was there for five years, from 1909 to 1914. He then started training as an engineer‟s draughtsman in the family business; Fairbairn, Naylor, Macpherson & Co. Ltd. The company had been co-founded in Leeds by his grandfather, Alexander Sinclair Macpherson, Henry‟s father, who had moved down from Fife in Scotland soon after 1855 when his mother had died (see The Macphersons of Leeds chapter). The 19 year old Alfred enlisted soon after World War One was declared on 28 July 1914. His father Harry intervened and had the enlistment cancelled. It may have been because Alfred was under 20 and he did not have his permission. Alfred would have had to wait until 20 April 1915 to turn 20 but his discharge record indicates that he served in France from October 1914 (Ancestry.com., 2008a). This suggests that he must have gained his father‟s permission within a month or so and enlisted again, although not in the East Yorkshire Regiment, where he could have expected an almost automatic commission in the family regiment. His younger brother Bertie (Herbert Alexander Macpherson, born 4 August 1896 died 5 June 1976 aged 79) joined the East Yorkshires and was immediately commissioned and rose to become a Brigadier General. Instead Alfred enlisted as a private in the Royal Army Medical Corps, Regimental Number 45 (see right), and served as an unarmed stretcher bearer in the trenches of France. Alfred was discharged from the British Army in 1915 due to “ill health contracted on service” (Sedburgh School, 1925, p. 65). As far as I know he never spoke to anyone about his time in the trenches but it was probably an horrific experience. The mortality rate and mental illness suffered by stretcher-bearers was particularly high (Devenish & O‟Meara, 2010). While Alfred was extremely lucky to survive it is most unlikely that he did not suffer from mental illness. Many decades later, the form of 3 mental illness commonly suffered by war veterans was given a clinical name; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To clarify, Lindorff‟s (2002) study of veterans found that the “most frequently reported problems [were] with concentration, sleep disturbance, nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and emotional distress.” Veterans typically did not want to talk about their war time experiences, they had no access to psychological medicine to help diagnose or treat those with PTSD, and they and their families simply had to live with their emotional damage, less obvious than physical injuries and scars. This may help explain why Alfred often drank to excess and seemed unable to appreciate the hurt he sometimes caused others, even decades later. About the time of Alfred‟s discharge for „ill health‟ he met Margaret Louisa Kendall of Leeds (born 19 June 1895 died 15 September 1974, aged 79). She would have radically different ideas about military service than Alfred would have heard in his home and school, where duty and sacrifice to God, King and Country were sanctified. I will come back to Alfred and Margaret‟s relationship and their move to New Zealand below. In the interim, it is important to note that Alfred‟s experiences in WW1 probably affected his relationships and behavior for many decades. Gordon, who was 12 years younger than Alfred, had been too young to serve in the First World War. It appears that he did very well at Sedburgh Prep but then had a setback when he caught rheumatic fever during his secondary schooling. He recalled later in life having gone home to bed for three months. It became a family joke that, during his convalescence, he had briefly attended Leeds Girls High School (RMS Dunn & Dunn, 2010). He apparently recovered, did very well at Sedburgh and won a place at either Trinity (Northland Age, 1945) or Pembroke College (Banks, 1979), Cambridge University. Whatever, he read theology, history and psychology at Cambridge, which is one of Britain‟s most prestigious universities, for a Bachelor of Arts degree that automatically converted to a Masters degree in time. After graduation Gordon returned to teach at Sedburgh Prep with success to the point where he was „shoulder tapped‟ to lead the school. However, according to family oral history (RMS Dunn & Dunn, 2010), when the headmaster decided to delay his retirement, and Gordon‟s proposal of marriage to Ines Hilda Bennett (born 23 January 1905 died 24 August 1985 aged 80) on a bridge in Sedburgh was turned down, Gordon and a friend purchased a preparatory school in the Ngog Hills, near Nairobi, Kenya.

Brock, ‘Traducer’ from New Zealand Country Journal.4:1 (1880). A Social and Cultural History of the New Zealand Horse A Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Carolyn Jean Mincham 2008 i Abstract Both in the present and the past, horses have a strong presence in New Zealand society and culture. The country’s temperate climate and colonial environment allowed horses to flourish and accordingly became accessible to a wide range of people. Horses acted as an agent of colonisation for their role in shaping the landscape and fostering relationships between coloniser and colonised. Imported horses and the traditions associated with them, served to maintain a cultural link between Great Britain and her colony, a characteristic that continued well into the twentieth century. Not all of these transplanted readily to the colonial frontier and so they were modified to suit the land and its people. There are a number of horses that have meaning to this country. The journey horse, sport horse, work horse, warhorse, wild horse, pony and Māori horse have all contributed to the creation of ideas about community and nationhood. How these horses are represented in history, literature and imagery reveal much of the attitudes, values, aspirations and anxieties of the times.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • 16. Nuclear-Free New Zealand
    16 Nuclear-free New Zealand: Contingency, contestation and consensus in public policymaking David Capie Introduction On 4 June 1987, the New Zealand Parliament passed the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament and Arms Control Act by 39 votes to 29. The legislation marked the culmination of a decades-long effort by a disparate group of peace and environmental activists to prevent nuclear weapons from entering New Zealand’s territory. More than 30 years later, the law remains in force, it has bipartisan support and it is frequently touted as a key symbol of New Zealand’s national identity. In some ways, it should be puzzling that New Zealand has come to be so closely associated with staunch opposition to nuclear arms. The country is far removed from key strategic territory and even at the height of the Cold War was one of the least likely countries anywhere to suffer a nuclear attack. The fact the adoption of the antinuclear policy led to the end of New Zealand’s alliance relationship with the United States under the Australia, New Zealand, United States Security (ANZUS) Treaty—an agreement once described as the ‘richest prize’ in New Zealand diplomacy—only adds to the puzzle (Catalinac 2010). How, then, did a group of activists 379 SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC POLICY and politicians propel an issue into the public consciousness and, despite the staunch opposition of the most powerful country in the world, work to see it enshrined in legislation? This chapter explores nuclear-free New Zealand as an example of a policy success. It does so in four parts.

  • Nationalist Rhetoric in Australia and New Zealand in the Twentieth Century: the Limits of Divergence
    Nationalist Rhetoric in Australia and New Zealand in the Twentieth Century: The limits of divergence Jack Alexander Henry Doig Bachelor of Arts Post-Graduate Diploma History Graduate Diploma Education Masters in International Studies A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 History, Philosophy, Religious Studies and Classics i Abstract This thesis analyses the nationalist rhetoric of successive Australian and New Zealand governments over the twentieth century. It uses political rhetoric to analyse the way that ideas about race, Empire and geopolitical identities were invoked, transformed and discarded in Australia and New Zealand. Each chapter in this thesis is a case study of an event that caused the two governments to articulate visions of Australia and New Zealand and their place in the world. It draws upon transnational and comparative historiography dealing with Australia and New Zealand, as well as scholarship seeking to understand nationalism and geopolitics. It uses these theoretical frameworks to explain the resilience and then rapid decline of British settler nationalism in Australia and New Zealand and analyse the post-British nationalisms that took its place. This thesis begins at a time when Britishness pervaded most aspects of nationalist rhetoric in Australia and New Zealand, and it ends in 1990 where governments adopted explicitly post- British post-racial national identities. It explains this transformation by analysing a series of case studies through the twentieth century that illustrate the decline of the British Empire and the attempts by governments in Australia and New Zealand to define a new place for themselves within the world.
