Thames Advertiser, 17 Sep 1888
WAIOMO I am sorry to learn that we are about to lost Mr Peter Aro from amongst us. He has been here for some months in the capacity of amalgamator (we can only afford one) at the Paroquet battery, and by his obliging disposition has gained many friends. I am given to understand that owing no doubt to the change in the proprietors of the Paroquet mine, mill, & c., that the Golden Gem will clean up early during the coming week.

Hannah Aro died 21 Jan 1913 aged 54

married Gladys Helen BROWN (1886-1967) in 1908
* The Fleurys were an ancient family of the French "noblesse". He was one of 7 sons & 6 daughters. His father was the Rev Louis Richard Fleury M.A. Rector of Kilworth, who was the youngest son of Captain John Franquefort Fleury, of Ecclesville, County Tyrone, 36th Regiment and a grandson of the Ven. George Louis Fleury (1738-1825), Archdeacon of Waterford, whose family goes back to the first French settlers who had fled to Ireland.
His mother was Alice Dora Eccles, a daughter of Rev R. G. Eccles. According to the 'Ulster Journal of Archaeology' written in 1856 ... "The intimacy between the Fleurys and Franqueforts would seem to have dated from an early period, as their grandfathers both served under Colonel La Bouchetriére, whose dragoons rendered King William such signal service. Captain Franquefort commanded a troop under him, and the Rev. Philip Amaury Fleury was chaplain. An antique silver cup is now in the possession of Chaplain John Franquefort Fleury, of Waterford, out of which King William (III) is said to have drunk at the Battle of the Boyne. It is preserved by the gallant captain with almost religious veneration. The Communion-cup belonging to the French Church is also an interesting relic, bearing on it the inscription Ecclesiae des Françis Waterford, and appearing to be nearly two hundred years old" ..

De SMIDT, Henry Jospeh - 4 March 1872 aged 52
De SMIDT, Louisa Christina - 9 July 1904 aged 73 (nee Gohl)
* Henry & Louise married in NZ in 1863. One of their daughters, Dorothea Theresa De Smidt (1866-1927) married Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph George Ward 1st Baronet of Wellington, GCMG, PC (1856-1930) & 17th Prime Minister of NZ. Born in Melbourne, Joseph joined the post office as a message boy in 1869 but was soon sacked for being impudent to his employer. In the meantime he had learned Morse code and later, as postmaster general, he enjoyed confounding dignitaries escorting him on tours of inspection by smartly tapping out his own telegrams. Ward then worked as a clerk at Samuel Nichol's general store on the Bluff waterfront until 1876 when he briefly joined the Public Works Department as chief clerk, handling the loading and unloading of ships. Sometime in 1877 or 1878 Hannah Ward Barron lent her son £800 with which he built storage sheds on the waterfront. Joseph Ward was beginning what became a lifetime mercantile enterprise buying wool, grain and skins. In time he acquired shipping agencies and sold supplies such as grass seed, sheep dip, fertiliser and supplementary stockfeed to Southland's rapidly growing number of small farmers. In 1878, when still only 21, he was elected to the Campbelltown Borough Council. In 1881 he added the Bluff Harbour Board to what became an impressive list of political trophies. In November – aged 25 – he was mayor, a position which he held until 1886 and again in 1897–98. In February 1883 he was chairman of the harbour board as well, a position from which he was able to influence freight rates and wharf space – both important to J. G. Ward and Company. His company now had its headquarters in the Crescent in Invercargill. Ward held the chairmanship of the harbour board until February 1888, resuming it briefly in 1893 when his company grew shaky and freight rates were much on his mind. He remained a member until 1917.
In 1883 27-year-old Joseph Ward, handsome, olive-skinned and with an expansive moustache, married the tall, graceful Theresa Dorothea De Smidt, who was 10 years younger and the daughter of Bluff's rival publican. There were two ceremonies at Bluff, probably for religious reasons, one on 4 December and the other on the fifth. They were to have five children, four of whom spent their childhood years in Bluff before going away to private schools. It was a most successful marriage.
When Seddon died on 10 June 1906, Ward was in London. He hastened back to New Zealand and was sworn into office as prime minister on 6 August 1906... lots more at his link

BLUFF cemetery NZ - burials A-C

by ngairedith 6 years, 9 months ago

The BLUFF, previously known as Campbelltown but referred to as "The Bluff", is the southernmost town in New Zealand. The area was one of the earliest in NZ where a European presence became established. The first ship known to have entered the harbour was the 'Perseverance' in 1813 in search of flax trading possibilities. The first European settlers arriving 1823/1824. Bluff is world known as the home of the iconic Bluff Oysters. Because of the cold, clear waters no other oyster on the planet come close to the taste ..

ABLEY, Frederick - 20 Jan 1905 aged 36
Otago Witness, 25 Jan 1905
The body of a man named Fred Abley, aged thirty-six, missing since Saturday week (7th Jan), came out to the colony as a fireman and greaser on the Tokomaru two months ago, was found alongside the wharf at Bluff on Thursday after the departure of the Theresa Ward for the island. He was last seen on the evening of the 7th inst; walking down the wharf with a parcel under his arm and it is supposed that he fell between the wharf and the cutter variance when trying to get on board. Apparently the body was churned up from the bottom by the Aotea, which took its departure on Wednesday and carried underneath the wharf to the other side by the action of the waves. Deceased leaves a wife and two children in County Essex, England

BUTCHER, Frederick - 29 July 1914 aged 65
Mataura Ensign, 30 July 1914 THE BLUFF FIRE One of the biggest fires that has ever occurred at Bluff for over a decade commenced in the Club Hotel Buildins at midnight on Tuesday. By the fire at Bluff in the Club Hotel buildings in the early hours of Wednesday (29th) morning three lives were lost namely Peter MONSON (55), Fred BUTCHER (66) and John Thomas BROOK (22)
Brook, a Private in the Bluff territorials, was a fireman and lodged at the hotel. He was due at his work in the railway shed at six o'clock and as he did not turn up inquiries were made. Brook had only arrived from Lumsden the previous week to take up his duties at the Bluff. He was a single man, 22 years of age. On the night preceding the fire he arrived at the hotel from a hard day's work and his remark to one of the hotel staff was, "I am dead tired and I am going to have a good sleep." He went straight to his room and from that minute nothing was seen of him again. A careful search of the place failed to reveal any human remains under the bedroom he occupied (room 6) but it is possible that the unfortunate man had groped his way out into the corridor and had been overcome by the heavy smoke.
Monson was an American Swede and had been employed on the barque Irene as ship's carpenter. His charred body was found in a bent-up tangled wreckage of the bedstead (room 15), where he was evidently suffocated in his sleep.
Butcher, the third victim, commonly known as "Blucher", was a well-known identity, an old character of both Invercargill and Bluff, being an ex man-o'-warsman.
There were many heroic actions during the progress of the fire. Two of he maidservants were rescued in the nick of time, one being unconscious with her night clothes on fire. Another became stupefied and was unable to move when a man caught hold of her and carried her down the fire escape. The fire brigade rendered excellent service under trying circumstances

* James Clark was born Edward McGraw. Born in Liverpool, Lancashire, he emigrated to Otago c1857-1862. Edward married Harriett Jubber in Dunedin in 1863. After the death of their son John in 1866 Harriet left Edward to go back home to her parents. While she was there she found out she was pregnant with Margaret and her parents sent her back to NZ. Around this time, for some reason, Edward McGraw changed his name to James Clark. He then started working for the Marine Department as a Lighthouse Keeper and all records from then onwards are under the name of James Clark. He was first appointed to the Lighthouse Service on 1 May 1867 as a Probational Assistant Lighthouse Keeper at Taiaroa Heads.
He later served at the Nuggets and then Dog Island until his death by a fall down Dog Island Lighthouse, 23 May 1883.

Western Star, 2 June 1894
On Wednesday about 1.30pm, a body was observed floating close to the wharf at the eastern end at the Bluff. Messrs F. Fordham, A. Beaton and Smith took a boat and brought it ashore, when it was found to be that of the young lad Cobbett, who was supposed to have deserted from the barque Lochnagar during her recent stay at port. He had acted as a cabin boy and was a smart young fellow, fairly well educated, steady and popular among his shipmates. As he had left letters for London in his berth, also clothes &x., his shipmates thought he had probably fallen overboard. Captain Gasson thought he had deserted and, after acquainting the police, wrote him off the articles as having deserted. The body was much decomposed and it seems that the skull was fractured across the crown from side to side, indicating that deceased when falling overboard must have struck something. The night was very dark when he was lost and it is supposed that he walked over the wharf when returning to the ship. He was rather shortsighted and this may have had a good deal to do with the accident which caused his death. It is understood he has a mother living in London and that he was her only son.

passengers on the ARETHUSA Wellington, NZ 1879

by ngairedith 6 years, 9 months ago

The ARETHUSA to New Zealand
Ship: 1272 tons
Captain: John H Stiven
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr Edward Husband
Sailed: Plymouth 3 Sep 1879
Arrived: Wellington 7 Dec 1879

Evening Post, 8 Dec 1879
ARRIVAL of the ship ARETHUSA
~ with 375 Immigrants ~
The fine ship Arethusa, under command of Captain J. H. Stiven and chartered by the N.Z. Shipping Company, arrived in harbor with the change of wind last night. Captains Rose and Holliday, with Dr Johnston and Mr Redwood, went on board and, after examination, reported the passengers all well. The captain reports leaving Plymouth on third September and had fine weather till crossing the Line on 8th October; the Cape was passed on 3rd November and Tasmania on the 29th; Farewell Lighthouse was made on the 6th and she anchored at the Heads on Sunday morning till the wind changed last night, when she was brought in by Pilot Holmes. The passage was particularly find throughout. The health of the passengers was very good. Four deaths occurred during the first seven weeks - one adult and three infants. There were also four births, one of which was stillborn and twins prematurely. All the immigrants, excepting about 70, are nominated; about 50 go to Wanganui by the 'Stormbird' to-night and the Manawatu takes a like number to Foxton to-morrow. Those for Wellington will be landed by the 'Moa' to-morrow morning.

IMPORTANT NOTES
* The ages people gave to immigration back then were usually adjusted, if necessary, to suit the 'requirements' of immigration. NZ expected that young, healthy people would populate the country, therefore most older immigrants dropped a few years off their birth age to be allowed to emigrate. Best to remember that when reading the list below and use their birth dates as a guide only to your own research.
* The spelling of some names probably differs from how we spell them today
* Apart from wives and very young children, all immigrants had to list an occupation. Most men listed Labourer and single women chose Servant, Dairymaid etc. Immigrants could (and did) turn their hand to anything, so writing their 'occupation' here is demeaning and not at all indicative of their abilities, which is why I have not added them
* People with the same surnames, grouped together here, may not always mean they were related

William Donaldson & Eliza Mercer's 17 children, Otago

by ngairedith 6 years, 9 months ago

The journal was researched for FaithD, who asked (28 Jan 2018) ... I'd love to know if anyone has any information on Margaret Donaldson, or any photographs of her. She was born 1896 in Dunedin, NZ. Her parents were William and Eliza (nee Mercer) Donaldson from Kinnardineshire and Dollar Scotland respectively. After the research we've done I'm fairly sure she was our grandmother. She was unmarried when my father was born and never married.

Margaret was the 13th child of 17 children of William & Eliza Donaldson. The original info on the 17 children was taken from the journal
DONALDSON from Dunnottar, Kincardineshire
* This is the (expanded) Fifth Generation from that journal ..

William Donaldson (1846-1932) was born 25 Aug 1846 on "Glithno", a farm in Kincardineshire, Scotland to James Donaldson & Helen Walker
* In Dunedin on 19 July 1876, William married Eliza Mercer (1857-1906). It was Eliza's 19th birthday, William was 29. Eliza was born 19 July 1857 in Dollar, Clackmannan, Scotland to Charles Mercer & Eliza Herron

Otago Witness, 24 June 1897
DONALDSON - On the 22nd June (accidentally killed at Anderson's Bay), Robert, sixth son of William and Eliza Donaldson; aged nine years and six months. Deeply regretted.
Press, 25 June 1897
A SAD OCCURRENCE - SUFFOCATED IN A STONE WALL. A little boy named Robert Donaldson, aged nine and a half years, the son of Mr William Donaldson, farmer of Anderson's Bay, near Dunedin, met with his death in a most extraordinary and pitiable manner on Tuesday. In the company his younger brother, he left his father's place on a rabbit-hunting expedition on the property of Mr A. Mathieson, of Tomahawk on on the Peninsula. About midday they chased a rabbit into a hole in a dry stone wall. The boy Donaldson put his head and shoulders into the hole and in doing so evidently dislodged a large stone, weighing 50lb, and other smaller ones, which fell upon his neck and shoulders, pinning him so securely that although he struggled desperately he was unable to extricate himself. His brother endeavoured to render aid, but the stone was so heavy that he was not possessed of sufficient strength to remove it. The boy Donaldson then told the other lad that he was dying and requested him to go and tell his father. The lad started off for Mr Donaldson's place, which was about a quarter of a mile away and the father hurrying to the spot removed the stone with difficulty from off the poor little fellow. When taken out the lad was found to be quite dead. The body was removed to the house and doctor Gordon Macdonald was telephoned for. The latter arrived as quickly as possible and made an examination of the body. The face was found to be covered with blood and there was a slight abrasion on the boy's back, but no bones were broken. He expressed the opinion that death was due to suffocation. At an inquest held on the body the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the lad was accidentally killed while rabbiting in a stone wall fence by stones loosening and pressing their weight on his body.
Robert is buried in Plot 49, Block 4 at Anderson's Bay, with his mother Eliza, sister Helen Eliza .. 4 .. & sister in-law Rebecca, 1st wife of his brother David .. 17 ..

WILLIAM Donaldson died in Marton, Manawatu, on 26 March 1932 aged 85
Otago Daily Times, 30 March 1932

William is buried Plot 22, Block 1, Row VII in the Old area at Mt View Cemetery, Marton
NOTES
William died at his son's residence in Marton in 1932. At this time, by process of elimination, I am presuming the son was either William (1876-1935) because he was up in that area. His wife had died in Wanganui in 1914 and her death notice said 'Feilding Papers please copy', although by his death in 1935 he was a 'well known' farmer in Dargaville. Or, it may have been James (1878-1939) of whom I have no information yet. Research continues

TIMELINE of Christina Gilbert
c1840 Christina arrived in NZ as a child
1850 Christina married William Jones (1829-1871) 17 June 1850 (she was 15 - the legal age then was 12). They had a son in Wellington, William James Jones (1851-1901, buried below). They later separated and divorced.
c1852 Christina next lived with George Baker Nye (1826-1907, previously twice married) & had 2 daughters in Foxton, Elizabeth 'Lizzie Nye (1853-1942) & Nancy Ellen Nye (1855-1855 aged 5 weeks). Christina left George just after the death of Nancy (leaving daughter Lizzie to be brought up by a widowed aunt, who adopted her in 1864). Christina went back to Wellington.
1855 Christina next married widower Michael Dixon (1810-1883) as his 2nd wife (Michael 1st married Sarah Shepherd (1808-1843, buried Karori), their children were early settlers of Masterton. Michael & Christina moved to Masterton but not long later Christina took off to Wellington on his horse. Michael retrieved the horse by walking over the Rimutakas to get it.
1871 ex husband William was killed at Nelson Creek, Greymouth, in a mining accident, on 9 Sep 1871, by falling from a 150 foot flume. Burial records have him as 30 which has to be incorrect, which would make him marrying at age 9. BDM has his age as 35. Family members say he was 42
