JAMES & JANET married in 1904
Ashburton Guardian, 1 June 1904
ORANGE BLOSSOMS, DAWSON-SHURY
A wedding of no little interest to Ashburtonites took place this afternoon, the contracting parties being Mr James Martin Dawson, of Dannevirke (formerly of the Bank of New Zealand, Ashburton) and Miss Janet Beatrice Shury, youngest daughter of Mr A. H. Shury, of this town.
The ceremony took place at St Stephen's church, which had been profusely and beautifully decorated with evergreens, flowers, wedding bells and hearts by the lady friends of the bride, the Rev E. Whitehouse being the officiating clergyman.
The bride, who was led to the altar by her father, looked very becoming in a costume of broche silk, trimmed with chiffon and d'alenecen lace, and ruchings of true lovers knots, wearing a veil with coronet of orange blossoms, caught up by a diamond ring, She carried a handsome shower bouquet of uncommon and beautiful lilies, with hand painted streamers, the initials of the contracting parties being worked in at either end in a unique and artistic manner by lady friends of the bride. The bride also wore a gold bamboo bangle, the gift of the bridegroom.
Miss Bell, the chief bridesmaid, was attired in a costume of crepe de chene, over pink and laciniolate silk, Paris hat to correspond, with pink and green trimmings. She also wore a greenstone heart pendant, and carried an exquisitely pretty shower bouquet, the gift of the bridegroom
Miss Hart, the other bridesmaid, was dressed in white silk, with Paris lace, and soft white hat to match. The lady wore a pearl pendant necklace, the gift of the bridegroom, and also carried a shower bouquet, nicely arranged.
The best man and groomsmen were Mr J. R. Friedlander and Master Bob Hart, respectively. (16 year old Robert Hutton Hart, son of her sister Helen Grace Shury & Robert William Hart)
As the happy couple left the church, a Wedding March was played in an accomplished manner by Mr Clarence Turner, brother-in-law of the bride. (Her sister Augusta Shury married Clarence Frederic Turner in 1899)
The wedding party was comprised of about 200 guests, among whom were noticeable, Mesdames Hart (Winchmore), Allen, J. Davidson, Turner, Bell, Misses Gresson and Winter, and other prominent ladies of this county.
After the ceremony, which was performed at 2.30. the wedding party were received at Mr Shury's private rooms, at the Somerset Hotel, where afternoon tea was dispensed. Toasts usual on such festive occasions, were proposed and duly honored.
Mr and Mrs Dawson left by the Mount Somers train for Mount Somers, where they will spend a short stay, and then proceed to Dannevirke, in which town they will make their future home. The bride's travelling dress was a smart tailor made dress of blue cloth, with a pretty blue French sailor hat to match.
The presents, numbering over two hundred, included silver and gold ware, articles of furniture, fancy work, wood carvings, ornamental glassware, paintings, cheques, etc., proving that the bride is highly respected and esteemed by a large circle of friends.
We take this opportunity of joining in wishing Mr and Mrs Dawson success and happiness in their new sphere of life

NOTES ..

Hello I have just been reading the article you wrote about the marriage of Ben Dawson and Janet Shury. I saw at the bottom you had a small section about Jim Dawson but were not sure if he was a son of Hurren. He is but you have incorrectly listed his birth year as 1938 when it was in fact 37. Otherwise he agreed with all the information you have. I should note I am Jim's youngest son and I very much appreciated the work you have done with my family's history.

* the UPOKONGARO HOTEL was established by William Caines in 1866. He had erected a small lean-to building near the riverbank and had furnished it with a heavy plank placed across two upright barrels upon which stood a barrel of beer. Customers were served with a tin pannikin that held a quart of beer, for which he charged a shilling per pannikin. A few months later Caines sold out to John Kennedy, who subsequently built a substantial two-storied hotel to replace it.
It was known as Kennedy's Hotel or Kennedy's Upokongaro Hotel and later just Upokongaro Hotel. There was a store attached to the side.
On 26 June 1881, in the early hours of Sunday morning, a large 6.7 earthquake struck Wanganui. The ground was in a state of violent agitation, people were thrown out of bed and 20 chimneys around the town fell. The hotel and store fared badly with bottles shaken off the shelves and cracks appeared in the ground.
On 8 Dec 1897 there was a magnitude 7 earthquake which reportedly shook houses, their occupants and contents for nearly two minutes. There was considerable damage in the borough and suburbs and water surged back and forth in the river. Heavy furniture was displaced and everywhere suffered collapsed brick walls with broken windows, while stocks of glassware, chinaware and goods in bottles and jars were thrown from shelves. Water was ejected from most water tanks, causing damage to houses.

LICENSING COURT
The annual meeting of the Licensing Commissioners for the Rangitikei district was held yesterday (Friday), when all the applications were granted, with the exception of that of F. Reilly, of the Shamrock Hotel, Turakina. Why could not the Upokongaro Hotel and the Red Lion be classed with the Wanganui district and thereby save the proprietors the inconvenience of travelling all the way to Marton to make fresh application for the renewal of the licenses?
The following renewals for the Wangaehu district were granted:- John Kennedy, Upokongaro; John McDonald, Bridge Hotel; John Henderson, Red Lion, Wanganui

Wanganui Herald, 5 Dec 1877
UNSUCCESSFUL FAULT FINDING
The report that was circulated last week by our contemporary with reference to the non-payment of the license fee by the proprietor of a certain Hotel, has given rise to rumours which demand contradiction. The Hotel referred to at the last meeting of the County Council as being practically unlicensed, the license fee not have been paid, was the Wangaehu Hotel, kept by Mr McDonald. The fee was duly paid at the proper time, but owing to some mistake, it was handed to the Rangitikei Council instead of to the Wanganui authorities. The matter is another of the mare's nests of the Sergeant of Police, who recently wanted to find a flaw in the license of the Upokongaro Hotel but failed

Evening Post, 6 July 1878
FATAL ACCIDENT
A sad and fatal accident occurred at Upokongaro near Wanganui on Monday last, of which the following account is given by the Herald:- A shoemaker named Philip Rowland, while crossing the yard at the back of Kennedy's Hotel, passed a horse, left standing and tied to the fence; and in passing, patted the horse's flank. The animal in kicking out struck him in the lower abdomen, inflicting terrible injuries and such suffering as could only have been relieved by instant death, The agonised groans of the unfortunate man brought assistance and the poor fellow was placed upon a couch. A messenger dispatched with all speed to town soon returned with Dr Earle, who strove ineffectually to afford even a temporary relief. Nothing could be done to save the injured man, who, in the most terrible pain, lingered for some hours and expired in paroxysms of agony.
* Philip was born 1824 in Marylebone, he married Emma Beaumont

Wanganui Herald, 3 June 1885
THE LICENSING ACT AT WORK
From what we can learn there is likely to be some opposition to both the Aramoho Hotel and Mr Gibson's application at the Upokongaro licensing meeting on Tuesday next. Memorials against both licenses have been drawn up and duly lodged with the clerk of the Licensing Committee

Mr KENNEDY'S MARRIAGE
We have to congratulate one of our oldest and most respected settlers on the auspicious occasion of his marriage. We allude to Mr John Kennedy, the kindly and genial proprietor of the Upokongaro Hotel and store, who was married this morning to Miss Ewing. The happy couple left by this afternoon's train for Palmerston North on their honeymoon trip. We wish them every happiness and a long life of connubial felicity.
* John married Evie Ewing (1862-1943)

"Tommy Rowe" NEW MINE HOST
On Tuesday next (says the Wanganui Herald) Mr T. Rowe, the well known C.T., will take over the Upokongaro Hotel. The Tuhua will run an excursion for the house-warming on Tuesday night

Wanganui Herald, 16 Feb 1887
The CHANGE OVER
The Upokongaro Hotel and store have changed hands. For twenty years Mr John Kennedy filled the position of "mine host" at Upokongaro and made unto himself a name for genial hospitality and straightforward dealing, which will stick to him as long as he lives, which we hope will be for many years to come. He made hosts of friends and no enemies and now retires to enjoy a well earned leisure with the good wishes of all who have had dealing with him. Mr Kennedy is succeeded by Mr Thomas Rowe, who, as a C.T., has been a well-known and greatly liked visitor to this part of the colony for some years. Mr Rowe possesses all the qualities that go to make up a successful hotel and storekeeper and will, we have no doubt, prove a most eligible successor to Mr Kennedy. With Mr Rowe's many friends, we wish him every success and hope he will find in his present venture all that he can desire.

Evening Post, 19 March 1887
GOODBYE JOHN
The Wanganui Herald of the 16th instant contains a long report of a complimentary banquet given to Mr John Kennedy, the late host of the Upokongaro Hotel and one of the oldest and best known settlers in the district. A large number of leading men and old residents were present and Captain Montgomery occupied the chair. The speeches made testified to the great regard entertained for Mr Kennedy by his neighbours and a feature of the evening was a speech made by a Maori, who spoke of the great respect the natives had for him. A complimentary address, numerously and influentially signed; was presented to Mr Kennedy, who is about to visit the old country with his wife. Mrs Kennedy was formerly well known in Wellington as Miss Ewing, who, with her mother, formerly kept the Criterion and City Hotels here. Mr and Mrs Kennedy, on their return to the colony, will probably settle in Wellington

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
The body of a man named Bolton (I kid you not) was found near Upokongaro Hotel this morning. He had been about the hotel yesterday but left about tea time to get his clothes from the washerwoman. It is supposed that in returning he was struck by lightning

FOUND DEAD
Mr Thomas Rowe, host of the Upokongaro Hotel, reported to the police yesterday that some Maori had informed him that there was the body of a white man lying on the track to Parakino. It is supposed that he was a recent arrival from Parapara. Constable Crozier was despatched at once to the spot. About four miles beyond Upokongaro he found the body in a bush on the side of the road. He recognised it to be that of a man named James Barry, a bushman, about 65 years of age, who had for a number of years been residing with the natives at Parapara. On the track near the body were found a hat, some biscuits and an empty beer bottle. Deceased had his breakfast at the Upokongaro Hotel on the 24th and then left, saying that he was going to Parakino to get a horse to ride to Parapara, half way between town and Karioio, on Field's Track. He was last seen by a man named Bartlett on the 24th about a mile beyond Upokongaro, where the body lies. Deceased is said to have served in the American army and in the British and American navies

Wanganui Chronicle, 29 June 1888
JAMES BARRY
An inquest was held at the Upokongaro Hotel yesterday on the body of James Barry. A post mortem examination had been made by Dr Earle, who certified that the cause of death was apoplexy, accelerated by drink and exposure. The unfortunate man was supposed to have died on the Sunday, but the supposition was incorrect, inasmuch as he was seen on the Monday sitting on a log, in a half stupid condition. A beer bottle, containing rim, was found on his person. A verdict was returned in accordance with the facts
* James was about 65

Wanganui Chronicle, 29 Sep 1888
INQUEST
There will be an inquest held at noon to-day at the Upokongaro Hotel, on the body of George Alfred Caines, who met his death by a fall from a horse on Thursday night

THEFT FROM THE HOTEL
Harry Laing and William Noble were arrested yesterday at Kauangaroa, at the instance of Mr Joseph Abbot, who charges them with robbing him of the sum of £280. The arrest was effected by Constable Bell, who brought his men to town last night and lodged them in gaol. They will be brought up this morning at the Police Court and charged with the offence. Mr Abbot's statement is that he was staying at the Upokongaro Hotel on Sunday night last, when he had the money in question in his possession. He was taking it up the country to pay some Maori for a number of sheep he had purchased from them. He discovered his loss on Sunday night and his suspicions fell on the prisoners, for reasons which will probably be disclosed when the case is heard this morning.
* £280 in 1891 is equivalent in 2012 to $52,580. I think there may have been a misprint? Can't imagine anyone would carry that much cash or pay that much for a few sheep

PROHIBITION ORDER
A prohibition order was issued yesterday against Gilbert Dunlop Kiriwood, to apply to all hotels in Wanganui, Fordell, Castlecliff, Kai Iwi and Upokongaro

Dunstan Times, 11 Jan 1895
PROHIBITION
The Wanganui Herald:- Practically speaking, prohibition reigns supreme throughout the up-river district from Upokongaro right on to Karioi. This is to say, there is not one single licensed house between the two places named and yet the consumption of liquor on a very large scale goes on unchecked and sly grog selling proves a decided all-round curse to those residing in the up-river settlements and indeed to many whose business or pleasure it is to travel backward and forwards. Fifteen shilling is the modest price asked for a bottle of whisky to the Maori and 10s to Europeans and the vile stuff known by that name, even at these extortionate rates, finds ready consumers. Whatever the state of the liquor is before it reaches the hands of the up-river dispenser is not known, but it has been an open secret that in "doctoring" one bottle it is very easily made into three and at 15s per bottle too!

Wanganui Chronicle, 24 May 1901
DEATH of THOMAS ROWE
It is with regret that we have to announce the death of Mr Thos. Rowe, of Upokongaro, which took place at his residence at one o'clock yesterday morning. The cause of death was hear disease. Deceased had not been in good health for some time, but serious results were not anticipated. On Wednesday night, however, he was taken suddenly ill and, as previously stated, passed away a few hours afterwards. The late Mr Rowe for many years represented Messrs Sargood and Son on this coast and on retiring purchased the Upokongaro Hotel and Store from the late Mr John Kennedy. During his residence there Mr Rowe made many friends, who, with those up and down the coast, will greatly regret to hear of his demise. Deceased leaves a wife and a young family to mourn their loss and to them we tender our sympathy. The funeral will leave St Mary's, Upokongaro on Saturday, at 11 a.m., arriving at the Town Bridge at 2 o'clock

It is generally recognised that one of the prettiest and most convenient places to visit from Wanganui by road or river is Upokongaro - for it is very easy of access, being only seven miles from town. From and after New Year's Day the hotel there will be under the management of Mr and Mrs J. T. Hodder, well and favourably known throughout the Wairarapa. It will be the aim and object of the new proprietary to cater in an up-to-date manner for the general convenience of the travelling public and for visitors, picnicing parties, etc. Towards that end the hotel is undergoing a thorough process of renovation and patrons may be assured that nothing will be left undone that should be done to assist in general enjoyment. One of the specialties of the establishment will be the catering for visitors from Wanganui - it does not matter in what quantity they may chance to make a call and when once they have paid a visit to such a hospitable roof there can be no doubt that they will make more than one return. Mr and Mrs Hodder have made special provision for the holiday on New Year's Day and extend to one and all a hearty welcome

MAN FOUND DEAD
While patrolling the Upokongaro side of the Wanganui river, on the occasion of the sculling race on Tuesday, Constable Fitzpatrick was informed that a man had been found lying on the side of the road about one mile above the Upokongaro Hotel. On making investigation the Constable found that the man was dead and as the result of inquiry, ascertained that deceased, whose name was James Ford, had been employed as a labourer by Mr H. M. Speed, farmer, of Makirikiri. It appears that deceased went up the river to view the boat race from the starting point on horseback, accompanied by Mr Thomas Kennedy, farmer of Waverley. After the start of the race, Mr Kennedy missed him and at the conclusion of the race deceased was found on the side of the road near the winning post by Messrs G. Shepherd and E. Ferry. He was still living and the riderless horse was found further down the road. The ground where deceased was found is very rough, large lumps of rushes growing there and apparently the horse stumbled and deceased was thrown. Mr Kennedy state that Ford was perfectly sober at the time of his death and his employer, Mr Speed, state that deceased was a total abstainer. Deceased is said to have a brother residing in Auckland and another up the Main Trunk line, but their addresses are not known

OUTRAGE SUSPECTED In connection with an explosion at the Upokongaro Hotel, the police suspect an outrage has been committed by a Mexican named Laurent who is supposed to have committed suicide in the river, his coat and vest being found near the ferry boat on the river bank opposite the hotel. The police are now dragging for the body
EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR AT UPOKONGARO Detective Siddells went up to Upokongaro this morning to investigate the affair and was not long in finding a clue to his hand. Strong suspicion attached to a man named Laurent, a Mexican half-caste and the suspicion was strengthened by the finding of his coat and vest, the pockets containing correspondence, on the Upokongaro ferry boat. This appeared to point to the suicide of the supposed perpetrator and the police went up this afternoon to drag in the river where they believe Laurent ended his days

TRAGEDY AT KAIWHAIKI SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE
MAN CAUSED HIS OWN DEATH
An inquest touching the circumstances surrounding the death of a roadman named Bert Jones, who was frowned in the river at Kaiwaiki Pah on Tuesday, Feb 10th, was held before the District Coroner, Mr W. Kerr, yesterday afternoon.
Evidence was tendered by Timothy Hogan to the effect that deceased was employed by Mr McCullam, road contractor. At 9 a.m. of the 10th inst., witness and the deceased walked to the Upokongaro Hotel. There they stayed till noon and had four or five long beers. When they left they took three bottles of beer and a bottle of whisky. They had some of this on the way to their camp. They reached a point opposite to their camp at about 4.45 p.m. and deceased called across the river to a boy named Stanley McCullam and asked him to bring a canoe to convey witness and deceased across. When the boy and the canoe arrived, witness said he would not fo across in it for he thought it was unsafe. When deceased got in he commenced rocking the canoe and the boy told him to stop. Witness then went away to get some Maori to pull him across.
The boy referred to, Stanley McCullum, gave evidence corroborating that of the previous witness up to the point when Hogan said he went away. Then, the boy said, Jones commenced to rock the canoe and it sank. The canoe came up upside down and Jones held on to it. Witness swam ashore and ran for help. When he came back in a Maori canoe with some natives, the deceased had sunk.
The camp cook, Joseph Smith, said he was standing on the camp side of the river and witnessed the whole incident. In addition to the previous given, he said that deceased hung on to the canoe till it had floated for two chains down the river.
Constable Barry gave evidence as to finding the body about a mile above the Aramoho bridge on Sunday. He said he had made inquiries at the Upokongaro Hotel and he was quite satisfied that the men left there sober. A half-filled bottle of whisky was found on the body when it was picked up.
The Coroner returned the following verdict "Accidentally drowned, through his own recklessness while under the influence of drink"
* Bert was 27

REFUSING TO FEED TRAVELLERS
At the Magistrate's Court this morning, John Thomas Hodder was charged by the police with a breach of the Licensing Act, in that he did, without any valid reason, refuse to supply a meal to two travellers, Patrick Pullen and James Blythe.
Mr Cohen appeared for defendant and pleaded not guilty.
Patrick Pullen, a bushman, said that he had been working at Parahauhau about 28 or 29 miles from Wanganui. On the 22nd of this month, James Blythe and witness had a light breakfast at six o'clock. They left O'Neil's at 2 o'clock and met Hatcher at five o'clock. They arrived at Upokongaro Hotel for something to eat. Hatcher, the driver of the dray, knocked at the hotel door. No one came to the door, but Mrs Hodder appeared at an upstairs window. Hatcher asked for a drink and meals for witness and his mate, who had nothing to eat since six o'clock in the morning. She replied that they could get nothing there as it was after ten o'clock. Witness also asked her for something, but she gave a similar reply. Witness had money in his possession and he was prepared to pay for his meal.
James Blythe gave corroborative evidence.
James Hatcher said that he picked up the two men about five o'clock. A little after ten o'clock they arrived at the Upokongaro Hotel, when witness asked for a drink. He was refused. He then asked for something to eat and was again refused. Pullen also asked for something to eat but he also was refused. The luncheon adjournment was then taken

Avery and with using obscene language in the bar of the Upokongaro Hotel. Charles Henry was also charged with drunkenness and obscene language.
Senior-Sergt Bourke stated that the two accused called at the hotel on Sunday last and asked for drink and were refused. In the meantime they came to Wanganui and last evening returned by coach in a drunken state. When the hotelkeeper tried to get them off the premises they used obscene language and Francis Henry also broke the glass and one of the accused struck Mr Avery.
R. L. Avery stated that when he refused drinks to the two accused, Francis Henry promised to give him the biggest hiding he ever had in his life. After a good deal of trouble witness managed to get the accused out of the hotel.
Reginald C. Dunlop, farmer, Makirikiri, stated that Francis Henry appeared to be the most aggressive of the two and the other accused tried to get him from breaking the window.
The charge of using obscene language against Charles Henry was dismissed and he was fined 5/- for drunkenness. Francis Henry was convicted for obscene language and sentenced to one month's imprisonment and ordered to pay £2, the amount of damage to the window. He was also fined 5/- for drunkenness

LICENSEE FINED
At the Magistrate's Court to-day, Percy Lumsden, licensee of the Upokongaro Hotel, was fined £3 and £9 costs for supplying liquor to two Europeans and two maori on a recent Sunday. The defendant admitted that liquor had been supplied, but stated that one of the Europeans had entered his name on the book as a lodger for the night and was subsequently entitled to liquor for himself and his friend. The magistrate, after hearing evidence, decided that the man was not a bona fide lodger. On a further similar charge, a daughter of the defendant was fine 1 and 7s costs

RIVER HOTELS DESTROYED
WANGANUI, This Day. The old Upokongaro Hotel on the Wanganui River, about seven miles from the city and a new hotel alongside, not quite completed, were swept by fire yesterday afternoon. The old building, which was a tow-story, wooden structure and recently condemned, made ready fuel and burned fiercely before a south-east wind which carried the flames across the intervening space of 50ft to the new single-story structure, the roof and other wooden portions of which were burned. The insurances on the building are not available, but the new building was not insured and the contractors, Messrs Walpole and patterson, are losers to the extent of about £2000

INDECENCY CHARGE
MAN BEFORE COURT, Wanganui, Tuesday
On the night of January 4, Joyce(possibly John) Edward Symonds, with a party which included two girls, motored to the Upokongaro Hotel in the early hours of January 5 and obtained liquor. One of the girls was intoxicated and was later charged. Symonds was charged this morning with committing a grossly indecent act, with procuring liquor during the currency of a prohibition order and with negligent driving. Due to appear on summons he disappeared but gave himself up. This morning he pleaded guilty to all charges. On the indecency charge he was sentenced to two months imprisonment and was convicted and ordered to pay costs on the other charges.
Mr J. H. Salmon, S.M., in referring to the girls having been given liquor said he considered such conduct disgraceful and any young fellow who would take out girls in this way and give them drink was a young blackguard

* Walter drowned at Wakapuaka 8 March 1845 aged 24
Nelson Examiner and New Zealand Chronicle, 15 March 1845 A melancholy case of frowning occurred in the harbour on Saturday evening last. A young man named Bushnell, by trade a cabinet-maker, left Nelson in a boat about eight o'clock in the evening in question, in company with Mr Wastney, and proceeded up the harbour towards Wakapuaka, where Mr Wastney resides. On arriving abreast of Mr Wells's farm, the boat grounded when Bushnell got our to search for the channel. A few seconds after he left the boat, she floated, as the tide was rising fast and Wastney called to him to return immediately. This summons he appeared to disregard, and Wastney then also got into the water to prevent the boat being carried away from Bushnell by the strong tide. After again calling, Wastney was compelled to return into the boat, as she had got into deeper water. Bushnell now called on Wastney to pull down to him, and while he was doing so, and had got within about three boats' lengths of him, Bushnell suddenly disappeared. The unfortunate deceased, being unable to swim, must have been carried off his legs by the strength of the tide, as the depth of water where he stood could have been little more than four feet. The body has not yet been found.
Nelson Examiner and New Zealand Chronicle, 29 March 1845 The body of Bushnell, whose death by drowning we mentioned a fortnight since, was discovered floating our of the harbour on Sunday last. An imquest was held on the body on Monday, when a verdict of 'accidental death' was returned.

Thomas John 21 (1821-1888) Agriculturist
(School Master in Auckland. Farmer in Canterbury. Hotel Keeper in Wellington. Master Mariner in Auckland & a skilful carver)
Marlborough Express, 14 September 1888
NELSON, Sept. 13 - An old resident, Mr Thomas Ferrers, was found dead in his bed this morning. An inquest will be held to-morrow.
Star, 15 September 1888 - OBITUARY
NELSON - At the inquest on the body of Thomas John Ferrers, who was found dead in bed yesterday, it transpired that death resulted from fatty degeneration of the heart. A verdict was returned accordingly. The deceased arrived in Nelson in 1843, and was at one time a schoolmaster here. Then he became one of the first farmers in Canterbury. Subsequently he took a hotel in Wellington, and then went to Auckland and became a master mariner. Fifteen years ago he again settled in Nelson and became well-known for his carving. Several Catholice churches contain specimens of his artistic work in their altar pieces. He belonged to an old Warwickshire family and a short time ago was led to believe that he had come into possession of Raddesley Hall and a baronetcy; but a distant cousin turned up who was thought dead.
* Mr George Blick of Bronti-street, went across the street to take his friend the morning paper. He found Thomas dead in bed
* brother of Bernard 'Barney' Ferrers (1826-1863) who married Mary Lauder in NZ in 1853 and lived in Wellington and Hawkes Bay

It is with regret I announce that Murray Patrick Lynn (1950-2013), the creator, author and administrator of KiwiCelts, passed away 14 Nov 2013

His family has announced that "KiwiCelts will remain online in it's present form. Decisions about it's future development and maintenance will be made in due course"

In the hope that everyone will go visit his site while it is still available and in honor of all his incredible hard work over the years I submit Murray's site in an abridged form. It includes Cemeteries, Irish maps, Kiwiwiki, Research Links and his Family History from as far back as 1200 and ranges around the world, from Ireland, Scotland, England and Germany to the Argentine, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. You will find it an invaluable site in your genealogy research

KiwiCelts HOME PAGE
Unbelievably, Murray's Genealogy Place Map Index, geneaMap Database, is not only a cemetery database but a link to:
* ART GALLERIES
* CEMETERIES
* CHURCHES
* LIGHTHOUSES
* MARAES
* MEMORIALS
* MUSEUMS
* ORPHANGES
* RAILWAYS
* SCHOOLS
* SHIPWRECKS
* TEMPLES
* UNDERTAKERS
* URUPA
* WAR MEMORIALS

A HUGE site so be patient as it can take a while to load

It is initially sorted at his site by:
Country-Province-District and Name, but you can re-sort it when in there by clicking on the column headings.
Clicking on the Place Name takes you to the geneaMap to see the map location and full details - address, related websites, photos etc

Was unsure the best way to present the data Murray has but finally decided to list it here in alphabetical 'Name of Place' order.
Every name is a searchable link. Visit his site to find all other relevant info
