Raiha Beckham
I know Raiha is buried at Ngawha with my great great grandfather John Edmonds (named after his father John who came here from England in the 1800's)
I would like more information about Raiha and her history, thus far I know nothing about her except for the fact she is my gggrandmother.
Any information would be gratefully appreciated.

My great grandfather was Manihera Kauwhata and his father was Te Kauwhata.
The rural community of Te Kauwhata south of Auckland is named after him.
Does anyone know any history pertaining to the man?

Thanks for your response ngairedith, just reviewing the info I entered on Te Kauwhata, I think his name was Erika Kauwhata, could be wrong not sure as yet. Thanks again for the info you have given me I will look into it. My great grandftaher's father was Erika.
I'm still trying to work out how to do things in this site. It has been good getting the info.
