He was removed to the South Wairarapa Hospital

23 Jan 1941 - PIONEERS MEET
... On the strange and lonely beach at Petone, just 101 years ago, the strains of "The Old Hundredth" echoed the great hope and courage with which the small group of Wellington's first settlers set foot on these shores. Yesterday the same hymn was sung by a group of early settlers, the majority of them descendants of those migrants who came in the first ship to found the city of Wellington.
January 22 in each year is the early settler's day and the large assembly of old people made certain that yesterday was no exception. Held under the auspices of the Wellington Early Settlers' Association, the annual social reunion was a happy hour for many whose lives are now lived largely among the memories of early New Zealand. The formal part of the function, which was in the hands of the secretary, Mr W. Toomath, was the singing of the same hymns as were sung on the Petone beach on January 22, 1840, and later those present enjoyed a social hour with tea and story.
Professor F. P. Wilson, president of the association, presided and among the guests was the Prime Minister (Mr Fraser). Items were given by Miss Kathleen Bond.
Reference was made by the president to the death of some members last year, and it was announced that the only names now on the original roll of honour since the inception of the associaiton were John FENSHAM, who arrived in the 'Oliver Lang' in 1856, W. B. Allen, born at Wellington and his sisters, Miss Allen and Mrs Chisholm, M. Maxton, J.P., Mrs Halley and Mrs Lloyd (nee Stratford)

JOHN's FATHER
? Henry Fensham (1817-1892), was a Gardener/Fruiterer in Epsom, England. He remarried to Emma ADAMS (1835-1912) in 1877 (he was 60, she was 42). He died in High street, Epsom on 7 April 1892 aged 77. His widow Emma died in the Epsom Workhouse Infirmary on 23 July 1912 aged 77. They are buried together, Grave F74A, Epsom cemetery

great reading and photos Epsom Union Workhouse, also history of the Epsom cemetery - from that site:- Please note: Epsom Union Workhouse was recorded in many official documents as Middle House or 49, Dorking Road, Epsom. This probably stems from the 1904 guidance issued by the Registrar General that workhouse births should be disguised by the use of non-committal addresses. Similar guidance relating to deaths was only issued in 1919. After the workhouse was closed the buildings became Epsom Hospital

... school info taken from the following link ...

the Terrace School Thorndon, Wellington
... was built at 20 Fitzherbert Terrace in 1878 by Mrs SWAINSON.
Three years before the BEAUCHAMP girls entered, Miss Mary Anne Swainson had taken charge of it, but she was not the stuff of which Head Mistresses are made; and the following year she engaged Mrs. Henry SMITH as Head Mistress.
Mr. Robert PARKER taught music ? though Miss Swainson, herself, led the singing? and Eva BUTTS taught elocution, arithmetic and geography.

Two of these served Katherine MANSFILED as characters later.
All four were distinctive individuals; and as afterward at Queen's College in London
? Kathleen Beauchamp (later Mansfield) was more interested in their individuality than she was in the instruction they dispensed. She easily pierced through to their ?secret? as she sat in the Form, gazing up at them while they taught


The Terrace School broke up for the holidays on 13 December 1911, proficiency and attendance certficates were distributed

GEORGE VENNELL (1818-1879)

the following extracts in italics were taken from
George Vennell & other Avon personalities
- a brilliant read about George, his life, his wives and his mysterious murder that has never been solved

George Vennell .. was five feet four inches in height, had a large head, red hair and eyebrows, low forehead, fair complexion and hazel eyes. In youth he was convicted for theft, whipped and imprisoned. On 22 October 1838, at the age of 20, he was tried at the Somerset Quarter Sessions for stealing clothing and sentenced to be transported for 15 years. His ship, the Marquis of Hastings, arrived in Tasmania on 18 July 1839. George?s colonial crimes ranged from absconding to ?being in a public house on Sunday? to ?ill-using and causing the death of a calf, the property of his master?. He was incarcerated, put in a hard labour gang and subject to solitary confinement.
On 28 August 1854, in the District of Morven, George Vennell married Mary Scollan. The groom, claiming to be 33, was in fact a little older; Mary was 22. More than a decade later, the couple moved to Christchurch. George, clad in corduroy trousers, faded pea-jacket and black billycock hat, was by now stout, grey-haired and addicted to alcohol. Despite his fondness for drink, his contemporaries considered him ?an honest hard-working man in moderately good circumstances?. On 30 July 1871, however, George?s ?beloved? Mary died of cancer at Haast Street, Avonside.

- Even while Mary lay dying, George was in contact with the woman who would become his second wife
- she called herself Henrietta Maria Patience Lydia Sanderson Thompson. Her real name was Maria Thompson

.. As Maria Drake, she stood in the dock at the Central Criminal Court, London, on 28 November 1842. A native of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, a dressmaker and milliner, and five feet three inches in height, she had a fair complexion, brown hair, hazel eyes, long thin nose and wide mouth. Convicted for stealing a watch and watch stand, she was sentenced to transportation for seven years and, on 19 July 1843, reached Tasmania on the Margaret. Fifteen years later and now called Maria Thompson, she appeared on the capital charge of ?feloniously, unlawfully and maliciously? leaving a parcel of arsenic-laced custard and cake outside another woman?s door. Oliver Adams and Mary Ann Paul, people unknown to Maria, partook of the food and fell violently ill. The judge ?finding the Court of Requests Room most inconveniently crowded, adjourned to the Supreme Court below?. There he took the guilty verdict and condemned Maria to death. The sentence was commuted to penal servitude for life.
- Discharged from prison on 8 July 1871, Maria came immediately to Christchurch in the company of her daughter, Hannah; her son, Francis or Frank Sanderson, followed shortly thereafter.

- George & Maria married on 31 January 1872 at St Luke's church, Christchurch. George said he was 51, he was 54, Maria was 52 -

- In August 1879 George was murdered
... When officers arrived, they immediately suspected foul play. A meal had been prepared but not eaten. Somebody had fired bullets through the window and peppered the wall opposite. There was blood on the wall, furniture and brown paper which had attached itself to a gorse fence. Evidence showed that George?s body had been dragged through the garden hedge, a post and rail fence and laid on a sandhill. On the sandhill there was found blood which had oozed from a head wound

- George's body was never found. A ?250 reward was offered and as late as 1980 the reward was still unclaimed
- the police viewed this as a domestic crime. They noted that Maria had returned to the property and washed the floor, commenting: ?You know I could never live in dirt?. A number of people were suspected but no-one was ever charged
