there are 2 large savage families in the area that i know of, the savage whanau from Matata/ onepu,Kawerau and the other whanau relatives from te whanau a apanui further down the coast. the families are extremely large and the name doesnt register in my line in kawerau, however i am not familiar with the other many families. there are also a few smaller families one is located in Waiahou, good luck

Your name for starters is a tupuna name, I am 4th generation Savage, and yes there are alot of us from Ben Boscawen and Ngatiira Tangihia Savage,Ben had Valentine(Taina) and Hairim to a women from the east coast first, Then he had 12 children from Ngatiira, they were Sarah,Hone,Hana,Samuel,Benjamin 2nd,Peter,Thomas,Edward,Mary,Amelia,Charles,and William. Peter Mary Charles and Samuel died with no issues. We are spread far and wide,I am Benjamin 2nd great grandaughter, MY koro was Ben 3rd or Te waipurukaamu Te Pene,All the best on your quest.

Would you by any chance have any knowledge of a man named Clevland Pairau Savage or his wife named Lillian Savage. The family I come from is from Awakaponga,Matata and we are a very large family due to land and money we have been striped apart ... I am yet a young person mearly seeking guidance to restore our family pieces together for there are many unknown things that seem to leave me puzzled on our history.........?
Our quest is very similar i hope we both succed oh on the other hand we also have many relations in kawerau where i am currently recidentially staying.
p.s im not that spontanious as my written script seems to appear

I am also a descendant of Ben Savage II through his daughter Linda, (Te Riini), my grandmother. Yes there are heaps of us arent there.. my Nannie used to say we were from Te Arawa and Te whanau a Apanui descent. Could someone please tell me where/how the Te whanau a Apanui side comes in? I'd love to learn more because I am only aware of the Ngati Rangitihi/Te Arawa iwi.
Many thanks
Julie.
