9 February 1871
... It will be recollected that some short time ago a yacht race took place in Lyttelton for a cup, presented by Messrs Shaw, Saville and Co., which was won by the Aspasia, owned by Captains McClatchie and LcLellan. By the Charlotte Gladstone, the cup itself has arrived, in charge of Captain Fox, and is now on view at the establishment of Messrs B. Petersen and Co. The cup stands sixteen inches high, and on one side is an embossed sea-piece, representing a yacht rounding a buoy off Godley Head Lighthouse, which is very spiritedly executed, the view having the further merit of being exceedingly true to nature. A remarkable coincidence is, that the yacht shown in the foreground bears a marked resemblance to the Aspasia, the winner of the cup. On the other side the following inscription has been engraved by Messrs Petersen and Co., on a shield left blank for that purpose:- "Canterbury Regatta, January 1871. Present by Shaw, Saville and Co., of London; won by the schooner Aspasia, 44 tons register, owned by Captains McClatchie and McLellan". In the centre of the shield is placed the flag of New Zealand, the St George's Cross, and four stars. The manner in which the engraving has been executed reflects every credit upon the establishment. The cup is really a very handsome one, and Messrs Shaw, Saville and Co. are entitled to the thanks of the community for their valuable present, the more so as it was spontaneous and unsolicited. The cup will be on view at Messrs Petersen and Co's till Monday next

the Roman Catholic MOUNT STREET CEMETERY is a protected heritage site in Wellington, New Zealand (click link for more). It was the first cemetery in Wellington for Catholic burials and contains the graves of the first nuns and priests in Wellington. It remained open until 1891 although burials continued in existing family plots until 1954. The earliest surviving grave marker dates from 1851, and the latest from 1954. Although only around 200 headstones survive, it is estimated that there could have been as many as 1150 burials. Many of the early markers were simple wooden crosses, which have long since vanished

31 Jan 1907 An old and highly respected colonist in the person of Mr James Gallagher, of Marion street, died at his residence rather suddenly of apoplexy on Tuesday morning. The deceased, who was in his 59th year, was a man of robust frame and his death came as a great shock to his many friends. In company with his brother, Mr John Gallagher, of Hopper street, he landed in Wellington about the Christmas of 1865 and has remained here ever since. While of a reserved nature, he took a very keen interest in municipal and colonial politics and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those that asked his aid. In his younger days he served in the armed constabulary and in the police under Inspectors Branigan and Brougham. For many years and up to the time of his death he was a Justice of the Peace and often presided on the local Bench. His funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Thursday afternoon. The remains were taken to St Mary of the Angels' Church and thence to the Catholic cemetery in Mount street, The Rev Father Kimbell officiated both at the Church and at the graveside. The deceased leaves a widow, one son, and five daughters. The bereaved ones have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends in the great blow that has so unexpectedly fallen upon them. R.I.P.

GARDNER, Elizabeth Gertrude "Cissy" - 13 March 1887 aged 17
14 March 1887 It is with deep regret we have to record the melancholy death, yesterday afternoon, of Miss Elizabeth Gertrude Gardner, youngest daughter of Mr W. A. Gardner, lately of the Colonial Architect's Department. "Cissy" as Miss Gardner was familiarly and affectionately known by a large circle of friends was some time ago attacked by rheumatic fever, and, as usual, other ailments, aggravated by a cold taken while still very weak, followed this terrible complaint. Dropsy supervened in one of the knees and this led to extensive disease of the bone of the leg. Everything that surgical skill could do was done by Dr Cahill, but after minor operations had failed, it was decided in consultation that amputation of the leg above the knee was necessary to afford a chance of life. This operation was performed yesterday by Dr Mahon, assisted by Drs Collins and Fell, but the unfortunate young lady never rallied from the effects of the anaesthetic and the shock of the operation, and she expired about three hours afterwards. The deceased young lady was a general favourite with all who knew her, and the most sincere sympathy is felt for Mr and Mrs Garner in their great loss

ADOPTION RECORDS
The operation of privacy legislation restricts the availability of information to only the birth parents and the child his or herself.
1. - Where adoptions introduced in New Zealand Adoptions were made in a Court since 1882. However there was no requirement to notify Births, Deaths and Marriages to endorse the original birth registration or create a new entry with the adoptive details until 1916. Birth records that related to adoptions made prior to 1916 where not updated until the 1980's. It is impossible to detect information through the indexes to birth registrations. The original certificate is endorsed "adopted".
2. - All records relating to entry that are endorsed with an adoption endorsement are closed for all access requests, unless the following:
... a The adopted person (only) can apply under the Adult Adoption Information Act 1985 for a copy of the pre adoptive birth certificate if they are 20 years or older. Please note that the birth parents, adoptive parents cannot obtain a copy of the pre adoptive birth record.
... b The birth parents can make an application to Adoption Services, Child Youth and Family for information relating to the new names of the child after adoption.
... c There is provision to apply for a photocopy of a pre adoptive birth registration under Section 76(3) of the Births, Deaths and Marriages Act 1995 for someone else e.g uncle, mother. However all parties to the adoption must be deceased, the adoptive person, birth parent(s) and adoptive parent(s) or 120 years have passed since the birth of the adoptive person.

FINDING YOUR BIRTH FAMILY
- People involved in an adoption may feel more complete when they know about their origins and their birth family. This is often true of both adopted people and their birth parents. By law, you have the right to information about your adoption when you turn 20. THIS ABOVE LINK HAS:
? Finding your birthparents
? Vetoes on information
? Finding your birth child
? If your birth child is younger than 20
? If you don't want your name to be released
? If you are a birth father


ACCESS TO ADOPTION INFORMATION
Legislation bearing upon access to adoption information includes:
? Adoption Act 1955
? Archives Act 1957
? Official Information Act 1982
? Adult Adoption Information Act 1985
? Privacy Act 1993

this week (week 41) of Abundant Genealogy was "Past Genealogy Resources", any genealogy tools, magazines or websites that no longer exist that you remember once using

I have not found any for New Zealand that I used to use but which are now defunct. In fact, it seems every day there are new ones being added as the interest in Genealogy grows
However, I like to blog about something each week, seeing someone has gone to the trouble to come up with this idea to provide info & entertainment on, what can sometimes be heavy going, doing Genealogy Searching

I guess the ultimate 'Past Resource' for Genealogy would be our grandparents and beyond ...

I think most (or a large proportion) of young people have little interest in the past (and that applies to any generation).
It is only about NOW, and most of all it is about ME in the NOW.
My generation was out to change the world from what we saw as boring, mundane, too authoriative, we wanted to shock and change and we did. We take credit for the many good things that came out of it (and refuse to take responsibility for the bad) but that's another story that will one day make a great blog :)

Eventually we get to an age when it becomes obvious it is not about 'us' and we become interested in who our ancestors were - who were these people staring back at us from old, inherited photo albums ?? - how do they figure in my life? - did they ever do anything exciting?? - where were they from and why.

If you're reading this you are probably interested in genealogy and your own ancestors so you will know that their journey from one side of the world to another, in the conditions of back then, is scarey and as we get into their story we realise they changed the world probably more than we did. NOW we are interested, this looks exciting, we want to know more... Unfortunately at times we leave the questions too late.

Personally, I only had 1 grandparent still living when I was born and she died when I was 9, yet, I could have asked my mother about ancestors but didn't really, wasn't that interested then. I remember her volunteering bits and pieces but nothing really 'sunk in' because I guess I wasn't really listening (isn't that typical of teenagers of every generation)

I have seen a lot of people say that their family never spoke of 'them' (I have said it myself a number of times), or that they never learnt anything about their ancestors when they were growing up because their parents never spoke of them
... and yet, I wonder
Now that I have gone full cirlce I am looking at it from a different angle. If I have not been asked I do not say. Because I don't want to bore the young ones about people they have no interest in at this time I don't go into any depth. Just short bursts, like, your greatgrandfather used to say ... and if they ask for more, BONUS
I think that if I bring up the subject I will lose their interest and so better to wait for them to ask!! Did our parents also think that way?
... round and round it goes

... I am very sorry to say that he was not buried in a cemetery but was buried alongside another Officer, the grave is just behind a German pill boX. He was slim built, sort of drawn features and about 5ft 5ins in height.
