lisachittick on 2011-12-08 19:59:21Hi, thank you for your research. My husband and children are descendants of George and Jane Chittick buried at Christ Church Taita. Just for your interest the Chitticks are connected with the Augusts and the Bentleys throught the marriage of Robert Arthur Chittick, son of George and Jane; to Joan Esther August, daughter of Herbert Lewis August and Harriet Rubina Jessie Bentley also buried at Christ Church. I would love more info, if you have any of the early days that the Chitticks spent at Taita, records,photos??? etc
Many thanks
Lisa Chittick HB

the CHITTICK in TAITA, Lower Hutt
iangcarson on 2017-09-06 03:21:01George and Jane were neighbours in Otaki. I remember them in an old house set back off Te Manuao Road. My mother, now 94, will have better memories if you wish to speak to her. My parents were gardeners, as were the Chitticks.
