Yes these wer...Hi Wendy<br /><br />Thanks for the comment :)<br /><br />Yes these were VERY hardy women weren't they! Swimming against the stream for those days that's for sure but obviously had their reasons. One of Rosannah's seems to be her drunken, womanising son William. I don't know what her first husband was like but maybe he was also an impetus.<br /><br />I love the lost Christchurch site to bits :)and i've now added it to my favourite links under NZ on my blog here :)<br /><br />Cheers<br />SarndraSarndrahttp://www.sarndra.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885470469806906483.post-32134067834716754572011-11-10T17:43:23.727+13:002011-11-10T17:43:23.727+13:00Great story, our ancestors certainly lived anythin...Great story, our ancestors certainly lived anything but ordinary lives.<br /><br />Mrs Merritt' also ran a temperance hotel at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Harper Street.<br />http://www.lostchristchurch.co.nz/mrs-merritts-boarding-house<br /><br />An old Hotel in the temperance stronghold of Sydenham, became a Maternity Hospital, much to the consternation of many who thought it not suitable.
