Of these, only Frederick Macaulay, Charles, Catherine Henrietta and Hugh Gilbert married and had issue.
Edith Mary St Barbe took her own life by jumping from a railway overbridge in 1911.
Jessie Christian died unmarried at Alassio, Italy, about 1956.


Frederick Macaulay Gregorie (1861-1945)
Frederick Macaulay Gregorie was born on August 27, 1861. He was educated at the Thames Marine Officers? Training Ship at Chatham, but did not enter the merchant navy.

His father thought him unsuited to the army because of his severe stammer. He refused to consider the Church as a career and emigrated to New Zealand in 1881. His brother Charles joined him the following year, but they had a disagreement and Charles returned to England. Fred worked at Tongoio Station in Hawkes Bay to gain experience before buying his own property at Oporae.

He married Edith DINIDDIE (1873-1954), daughter of newspaper proprietor Peter Forrest Dinwiddie, at Napier in 1897
The Gregories farmed at Oporae in the Dannevirke District until 1907 when they retired to Havelock North

In 1914, they moved to Gorge End, a farm near Pahiatua and in 1940 they retired for the second time, to Palmerston North.
Fred Gregorie died at Palmerston North on August 26 1945
Edith died in Masterton on May 3 1954.

Fred and Edith Gregorie had three children:

twins:
David George Gregorie and Catherine Mary (born 13 Mar 1898)
Frederick Charles Gregorie (1901-1991
... Catherine Mary Gregorie, only daughter of Fred and Edith Gregorie, and her twin brother David George Gregorie, were born at Napier on March 13, 1898. Both children were educated at their home at Oporae until they were nine, when David went to Heretaunga School and Mary went to Woodford House, in Havelock North. Mary left school to live with her parents at Gorge End, Pahiatua, during the First World War. After the war she went to live in Wellington and married Donald KINNELL, an Englishman who was visiting his brothers in New Zealand, on April 14, 1924. Donald and Mary Kinnell lived at Walton-on-Thames, England, where their only daughter, Jean Mary (Jenny), was born on January 12, 1925. In 1960 she went to live in Australia, first at Terrigal, NSW and then at Murwillumbah, NSW. In 1953 she went to New Zealand to look after her mother until her death in 1954, when she returned to Australia. Mary died in 1990, aged 102.
... Frederick Charles (Eric) Gregorie, third child of Fred and Edith Gregorie, was born at Napier on November 18, 1901. He was educated at Heretaunga School, Havelock North, and Nelson College. He left school in 1917 and returned to the family farm at Gorge End, Pahiatua, to help his father while David was training for the Royal Air Force. When David returned to New Zealand in 1919, Eric went to work at Arapawanui, the Hawkes Bay farm founded by his maternal great-grandfather, John McKINNON, in the 1860s, to gain experience. David opened his nursery business in the mid-1920s and Eric returned to Gorge End to work with his father until 1940, when he enlisted in the New Zealand Army for the duration of the Second World War. He served in a signal battalion in Fiji and the Solomon Islands.

Barbara Gregorie died at Taupo in 1996.
Eric and Barbara Gregorie had two children, Martin Charles (1946 - ) and Elizabeth Jane (1949 - ).


That information was taken form the site: The Gregories
There is a huge amount of information on there for you to read and you will find how the Gregories lived in Pahiatua & Masterton so further research is going to find which one of them 'drifted' the 15km to Carterton. I found it a rather exciting read as it would make connections with our other journals in the search for your family. There are also many recent descendants mentioned (like HENNEBRYs) born in Pahiatua, and children born in the 1960 and 1980 who attended schools in the Waikato, Matamata & Te Awamutu. Hawkes Bay, Heretaunga & Havelock North. Manawatu, Palmerston North & the Wairarapa like St Matthew' in Masterton

A geat journal that you will have to read and reread to digest
- have fun, get back to me with any questions

kind regards

to try and keep all the journals together regarding this family of COE, GREGORIE & LAWRENCE of the Wairarapa and Manawatu and their many branches:

COE family from Pahiatua

COE family from Wairarapa

Emma COE + James Edward LAWRENCE

Arthur Lawrence (of Pahiatua, uncle of Charles Gregorie in above journal)

Hi,I feel its a good idea to keep to keep all journals togegether as i keep comming and re reading what has been said, its nice to be able to do that , at time i miss something or didnt understand something.
Like now where i keep reading about The Gregories to see where they
fit in but hay I will find how it may take longer but i will get there.
