Mr and Mrs Richard Perkin of Hagley avenue,
Christchurch, who will celebrate today the diamond jubilee of their wedding.<br><br>
“The change in the face of the city and in the methods of travel since they arrived were the first things to be commented on yesterday by Mr and Mrs Richard Perkin, of 488 Hagley avenue, when talking with a reporter yesterday.<br><br>
Mr and Mrs Perkin will celebrate the diamond jubilee of their wedding to-day. Mrs Perkin was only six weeks old when she arrived at Lyttelton from England in June 1851, as she was born during the voyage. The boat in which she came with her parents was the Jack Stedfast, the sixth ship to arrive at Lyttelton and she was called Stedfast [sic] after it. <br><br>
The family settled in Lyttelton at first, and Mrs Perkin's memories of the place are associated with the Maoris, who had a large pa where the station now is. For the six years that she lived there she was very much afraid of them.<br><br>
In 1857 the family made the journey over the hill to Christchurch, and Mrs Perkin explained that while the luggage was taken over by packhorse she, and the rest of the family, had to walk. Trips over the hill were frequent, as most of her friends lived in Lyttelton, and on one occasion Mrs Perkin recalled that it was blowing so strongly that she had to spend all the day lying down in the tussocks. <br><br>
Her first, home in Christchurch was in Durham street, near the Wesleyan chapel. Durham street was then not a formed road at all and where the Supreme Court now stands was an open paddock, and quite a wild place when Mrs Perkin arrived.<br><br>
She went first to a small private school and later to Mrs Frederick Thompson's in Cashel street. A daughter of the headmistress of this latter school afterwards married <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19010207.2.13" target="_blank">Dean Jacobs</a>. <br><br>
Mr Perkin was born in Yorkshire and came to New Zealand in the Egmont, landing at Lyttelton on July 6, 1862. He did not go over the hill to Christchurch but went round in a small steamer to Sumner and up the river to Ferrymead, and thence to Christchurch by a bullock dray. This was in 1866. He received his first education in New Zealand at a small school in Riccarton and later at St Michael's.<br><br>
Here the fees were paid by the week, and Mr Perkin explained that he managed to be kept at school by paying his shilling every Saturday. When his school days were done, he became interested in volunteer work, and joined the City Guards and the Christchurch Rifles at different times till they amalgamated. In all, he had about 15 years' service with these two bodies. <br><br>
After they were married Mr and Mrs Perkin lived in Peterborough street and though they have changed houses since, they have lived in that neighbourhood for the 60 years of their married life. Mr Perkin volunteered for service against Te Kooti, and though the Christchurch volunteers were ordered to be ready, there were sufficient men available in the North Island, and the South Island reserves were never called out. <br><br>
When she was a young girl, Mrs Perkin was taken to see the opening of the <a href="https://nzhistory.govt.nz/media/photo/painting-pilgrim-train-1863" target="_blank">first railway line in Christchurch</a>. and scrambled on board for the first trip. She said yesterday that she enjoyed it immensely and would never forget the thrill of it. <br><br>
Mrs Perkin is still a member of the Canterbury Pilgrims and Early Settlers' Association, and though Mr Perkin was formerly a member, he resigned a little time ago. For more than 20 years Mrs Perkin has been a keen worker and supporter of the Hospital Lady Visitors' Association. <br><br>
Mrs Perkin was very much interested in the progress of the city and the machines which were life easy now, as she contended. She said that she would like to come back in another 50 years and see how much further progress had been made.”<br><br><br><br>
Richard PERKINS[sic] married Elizabeth Steadfast[sic] ILES at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Luke%27s_Church,_Christchurch" target="_blank">St Luke's Church</a>, Christchurch. The well known figure Reverend E.A. LINGARD officiated.<br><br>
Richard, described as a <a href="https://heritage.christchurchcitylibraries.com/Cemeteries/interment.asp?id=103669" target="_blank">Salesman, passed away on Saturday, 24 October 1936</a>.<br><BR>
Elizabeth, described as a <a href="https://heritage.christchurchcitylibraries.com/Cemeteries/interment.asp?id=103907" target="_blank">widow, passed away on Sunday, 31 January 1937</a>. They are interred together at Bromley Cemetery, Christchurch with their surname given as PERKIN.<BR><BR>
Their daughter Ethel May PERKIN born 1879[3] is <a href="https://heritage.christchurchcitylibraries.com/Cemeteries/interment.asp?id=96732" target="_blank">buried in the same plot</a>. She passed away Saturday, 16 July 1927 aged 47.

<b><i> </i></b>So Anzac Day has appeared again. Always an emotional day for a lot of us on this side of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<i></i><b><i></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As usual, I visited a cemetery to take photographs of family memorials (not my family) mentioning loved ones buried where they fell overseas and often walking through other sections headstones/plaques catch my eye. Frederick BOWES resting place was one of these. He appeared to maybe have something to delve deeper in to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Frederick was a bit of a sharp shooter! A sportsman whose achievements which included representing New Zealand have been lost to time as well as his notable talents as a cornetist and trumpet player who was a founding member of and played regularly in the Auckland Municipal Band and who was highly respected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On 28 March 1935 this article appeared in the Auckland Star</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RIFLEMAN ENTERTAINED.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Mr. Fred. <span class="highlightcolor">Bowes</span> the King's Prize winner at the recent Dominion rifle championship meeting, who is a member of the Auckland <span class="highlightcolor">Municipal</span>
Band, was tendered a complimentary social by his fellow bandsmen at
the Mecca Tearooms last night. Mr. Geo Buckley, conductor, of the <span class="highlightcolor">band,</span> presided, and commented upon the fact that many bandsmen and conductors had, been prominent riflemen."<span style="font-size: x-small;">[21]</span></div>

<span face=""calibri" , "sans-serif"" style="font-size: 11pt;">At an investiture ceremony in the Town Hall last night the Governor-General,
Sir Cyril Newall, presented awards for gallantry or distinguished service to
101 members of the Navy. Army, Air Force and Nursing Service. In addition to
next-of-kin of the recipients there was a large attendance of the public.
Representatives of the services and public bodies were also present. The
ceremony lasted three hours. As each citation was read and the decoration was
pinned on the breast of the recipient by his Excellency there was loud
applause. This was accentuated when there was any mention of some conspicuous
act of heroism or gallantry. The first person called to the platform was a
charge-sister. She was the only woman to receive an award on this occasion. His
Excellency was accompanied by Lady Newall, Major H. A. Jaffray, military
secretary, Captain the Hon. D. E. A. Winn, A.D.C., Commodore W. K. D. Dowding,
D.S.C., R.N., Brigadier A. E. Conway, 0.8. E., N.Z.S.C., Group-Captain C. C.
Hunter, R.N.Z.A.F., and Lieutenant Colonel F. J. Gwilliam, E.D., all honorary
aides-de-camp to' his Excellency. The citations were read by Major Jaffray. His
Excellency presented the awards and Lady Newall shook hands with each
recipient. On three occasions when crippled servicemen were called their
Excellencies met them on the floor of the hall, thus saving the injured men the
difficulty of mounting the steps to the platform. The following awards were
presented-:…. <b><i>British Empire Medal (B.E.M.).—Honorary Captain (Bandmaster) F Bowes,
of Auckland…”</i></b></span></div>

Lifeboat Capsizes when Launched </b><i><br />
The Tainui went ashore about four miles North of Gore Bay, the spot
being marked by clouds of black smoke. The fire is still raging,
although the ship looks a mere skeleton of iron. The only survivor (the
cook, William H. Farrand) states that an explosion occurred at 3 a.m.,
which blew off part of the forward hatch cover. Immediately afterwards
an attempt was made to launch the ship's lifeboat, but it was swamped
and capsized immediately it reached the water. All the members of the
crew were thrown into the water, and with the exception of the cook were
drowned. He was saved by hanging on to the lifeboat until it was washed
up on the beach about four miles from the scene of the explosion. He
was much exhausted when he reached the beach, Farrand added that after
the life boat capsized some of the men clung to it, but gradually they
dropped off. Captain Cowan was almost into the breakers before he became
exhausted and let go.</i></span></div>

The Tainui is lying broadside on to the beach. She was devoured all day
by the flames, while overhead dense smoke blackened the sky. The
explosion must have been terrific, for heavy timber and wreckage,
splintered and twisted, were washed ashore.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A MAN OF DAUNTLESS COURAGE. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">SEAMAN CHARLES WILLIAMS. D.S.M. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A particularly well known member of the crew of the Tainui [7] who lost his life was Seaman Charles Williams, D.S.M., son of Captain H. Williams, of Tuam street, Christchurch. His career was marked by dauntless courage, and the 38 years of his life were crowded with adventure. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Williams entered the merchant service on a schooner engaged in the New Zealand trade in 1897, when 16 years of age. Shortly after leaving school at Lyttelton he received his first naval training, as a member of the New Zealand Naval Reserve, and later served on H.M.S. Tauranga. It was on board this boat he first revealed his reckless courage in succouring (sic) the crew during a terrific gale. In 1909 Williams received his discharge from the Navy, and a year later he went to Antarctica in the Terra Nova. In a terrific storm the pumps of the little ship became choked, and Williams went down between the boilers in the blistering heat and relieved the obstruction. His action was the means of saving the ship from foundering. He had been twice to Antarctica, first with Captain Scott, and afterwards with the relief expedition under Commander Evans. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He possessed the Antarctic Medal and that of the Geographical Society. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the outbreak of the war he volunteered for service with the North Sea Fleet as a stoker. Williams was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for conspicuous bravery during the engagement off Dover between H.M.S. Broke and H.M.S. Swift and six German warships. Stoker Williams was serving under Commander Evans on the Broke. Feeling secure in their superiority of numbers the Germans essayed to sink their opponents. The two British boats were surrounded and put up a magnificent fight. Stoker Williams was asleep in his hammock when the fight began. He went on deck and devoted his attention to carrying the wounded to safety below deck, a work which was attended by extreme danger, when the German sailors boarded the Broke and hand-to-hand fighting ensued. Commander Evans recommended Stoker Williams for the D.S.M. for his bravery. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Previously Williams was on H.M.S. Viking, which struck a mine in the North Sea, and later he was on H.M.S. Conquest. He took part in the Zeebrugge fight, and was one of the volunteers from the Broke who landed on the mole there. [6]</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A sad feature in connexion (sic) with the death of Charles Williams, one of the victims of the Tainui disaster, was that he intended shortly to return to England to bring back his Fiancée to New Zealand as his bride.[7]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is a superstitious saying among those who go down to the sea in ships, "Never hang the picture of a shipwreck near the photo of a sailor" In connection with the death of the late Charles Williams, of Christchurch, one of the victims of the Tainui disaster, a Christchurch reporter was told of a remarkable coincidence. In the drawing room of the home of the deceased's parents is an enlarged framed photograph of the deceased, and immediately beneath is a photograph of a ship on fire off a hilly shore. The most remarkable, thing about the coincidence, which was not noted until Friday, is that the vessel in the picture exactly tallies in appearance with the Tainui, and the coastline, which is only two or three miles away, is an excellent representation of the country off which the Tainui met her end.[8]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">MEMORIAL UNVEILED </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the Lyttelton District High School yesterday afternoon, a portrait of the late Seaman Charles Williams, who lost his life in the Tainui disaster, was unveiled. Among those present were the Deputy-Mayor (Mr J. T. Norton, and Councillors, Mr W. G, Carson (chairman), and the members of the school committee, and Captain J. H. Williams and Mrs Williams, parents of Seaman Williams. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before unveiling the portrait, Captain J A H Marciel said that he felt it a great honour to unveil the portrait of one of the bravest of the brave. He supposed he had been asked because he had been a superintendent of the Mercantile Marine for the last 23 years, and because he was a seaman, too. He had known Captain Williams, the father of the late Seaman Williams, for many years, and he could say that Captain Williams bore the white flower of a blameless life. To the mother he tendered his heartfelt sympathy, but he was sure that pride in her son would temper her great sorrow. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Charles Williams had some years before been a pupil of the school. He was a good scholar and son and loved his father and mother. When he left school the old sea-blood called him, and be became a sailor in the Mercantile Marine. Later he served in the Royal Navy. Then the spirit of adventure called him, and he joined that band of gallant adventurers who went down into the Antarctic to see what God had stowed away there amid the ice and snow. He went a second time, when disaster overtook the leader, Captain Scott, and it was significant that his commander, Captain Evans, always picked him out first. He was preparing to go again with Captain Evans when war broke out, and that officer sent him a message, '"Never mind the South Pole, I want you here," and he went; along with a lot of other brave men, who were prepared to give all for freedom. ln the Broke’s memorable light he had saved his commander's life, when a shell was coming, by pushing him off the bridge. That brave action earned for him the Distinguished Service Medal, that medal which he (the speaker) now held before them. Although costing only a few shillings to make, all the gold in the world could not buy the D.S.M., it had to be earned. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When Seaman Williams came back a few months ago, he had visited the speaker to have a yarn, and all he talked about was his commander Captain Evans, whom he was devoted to, and about his father and mother. When questioned about his own exploits, he said, he hoped that he had done his duty pretty well, and then grew red in the face, as a truly brave man would do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Addressing the children, Captain Marciel said he hoped that when they saw the portrait of Seaman Williams in the schoolroom, they would also try to do their duty. To do one's duty was all that could be expected of any man. No one would do any good if he adopted the ”go slow” policy; but whatsoever they found to do, they should do it with all their might. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Captain Marciel then unveiled the portrait, present standing with bared heads.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The portrait, which is in oils, by Mr [illegible] Williamson, shows the late Seaman Williams in naval uniform, wearing the D.S.M. and the Antarctic Medal. It was presented to the school by fellow seamen and some residents of Lyttelton. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mr W. G. Carson accepted the portrait from Captain Marciel on behalf of the School Committee, and expressed a hope that it would Be the forerunner of many portraits of old scholars." <span style="font-size: x-small;">[9]</span></span><br />

I had grown to look upon him as a friend and a man to be implicitly relied
upon. In those long gales and buffetings which we encountered in that dreary
stretch of ocean between New Zealand and the Antarctic Continent, your son was
always to the fore - a tower of strength and a lion in courage. As you know, he
served in the Viking, Crusader,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Broke

together, and of no man I know can it, be better said that he was a steel-true,

for items for an exhibition that was being planned. My curiosity was piqued by words on a blue
envelope, typewritten on the outside ...</span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><i>“Beef found on rocks near the North Pole in 1823 by Captain Parry of
the “Fury” and brought back to Hull, Yorkshire by Captain Ross 1833.”</i></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 40.2pt; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">I peeked
inside and marveled over the folded piece of paper and dusty evidence of the
organic substance it held in its folded creases. I carefully returned it to the box but had
to gush to my work colleagues about my ‘find’ then stored the information in
the back of my mind for a possible spot as a blog post. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 40.2pt; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">A few months later, our new exhibition <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/porkynz/albums/72157647968233310" target="_blank">“<i>Still
Life</i>: Inside the huts of Scott and Shackleton”</a>
opened and brought back to mind the wonderful little treasure stowed away in our
largest storeroom. Probably not seen by
many other eyes in many decades, this fabulous artifact has its own adventurous
story to tell. “Wonderful” I thought,
“I really should do something for a blog post” and so, it was on my radar
again. Even though the beef and the
explorers were several decades older than anything connected to Scott and
Shackleton, the similar strands of courage and tenacity of those first
explorers and the pull that those cold climes had for ordinary men to discover and
plot such deadly territory are the same for all the stories.</span></span></div>

the beef that entered our museum in 1959, this wonderful piece of animal that
Captain Ross decided would be a good idea to scavenge and cart around on
journeys with him and thank goodness he did! It, along with the paper is of
course terribly fragile, I could not open to show the contents, however a small

British voyage of Arctic exploration led by Captain Sir John Franklin that

Franklin had served on three previous Arctic expeditions, the latter two as
commanding officer. His fourth and last, undertaken when he was 59, was meant
to traverse the last unnavigated section of the Northwest Passage. After a few
early fatalities, the two ships became icebound in Victoria Strait near King
William Island in the Canadian Arctic. The entire expedition complement,
including Franklin and 128 men, was lost.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">My partner and I stumbled upon Adam's grave back in 2008. It was covered in lichen and looking very unloved, but we were quite drawn to it. So over the next few weeks we carefully tended to it to remove the lichen and I commenced to unravel his story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Adam was killed in the Parnell train tunnel, Auckland on 23 February 1926 in the "execution of his duty aged 27 years". </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have championed for 5 years to get his name added to official Police memorial rolls without luck, but with my success in relation to Robert Hislop, I was spurred on and in a last ditch attempt on 19th August 2014 wrote to Peter Hayes, the Manager of Welfare Services for the NZ Police Association </span><span style="font-size: small;">a<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">fter being
forwarded the Letters page of their magazine, issue Jan/Feb 2014 by a contact.
In this, it was noted that the situation relating to officers killed on duty and
like Adam's not slain by a criminal but still dying whilst on duty was being
investigated. This involves at least 712 police members. It appears there
may be positive outcomes in relation to at least 50 of these individuals, I was
ecstatic to read this! </span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I received a reply from Peter on the 28th August. Adam is included as 1 of the 50. I was ecstatic to read this! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm delighted to advise that finally Robert is now going to be formally recognised as being killed in the line of duty.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Indelibly etched into my psyche for the rest of my life, it is nice to see this catastrophic event remembered in Auckland. The effects of this earthquake and subsequent ones are far reaching - a few of us that work here have family and friends that have suffered and still are suffering on an emotional level.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This commemoration is a more low key one than the <a href="http://invokinglibitina.blogspot.co.nz/2012/02/christchurch-earthquake-commemoration.html" target="_blank">first commemoration</a> at the museum and rightfully so, we are moving on and the sharp edges of loss, despair and emotional upheaval are blurring a bit...I said ... a bit. We still have to remember that w</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">e've lost childhood roots and homes, our families and acquaintances have had their social structures torn out from under them, the rebuild is slow and frustrations still torment. It is important to remember to support those still going through turmoil.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I'm theorising that this dapper wee [probably blonde haired and blue eyed] fellow's dad died in World War 1 albeit he looks rather a happy wee chap with his little thumbs tucked into his pockets. It seems his mother, has made him into his fathers 'mini-me', wearing almost a miniature uniform with a 'kerchief tucked into his breast pocket.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">A flower that looks suspiciously like the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucanthemum_vulgare" target="_blank">Oxeye daisy</a> is placed in the left lapel - maybe a favourite of the man whose memory inspired the photo originally? Or maybe to form a connection between the wee boy and the lost sailor - being that daisies <a href="http://symbolism.wikia.com/wiki/Daisy" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial;">represent</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"> innocence, gentleness and purity.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">An animal skin appears to be hiding a chair or similar that the boy is standing on and the backdrop gives the feeling of being outdoors.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My hometown prided itself on and identified with the Victorian and Edwardian architecture pre <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Christchurch_earthquake" target="_blank">quakes</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The architectural magnificence in and around the city centre changed forever dramatically due to destructon and/or <a href="http://www.historic.org.nz/theregister/heritagelost/lostheritagecantyearthquakes.aspx" target="_blank">demolition of damaged buildings</a> after the devastating earthquakes starting late 2010. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The </span><a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Places/Buildings/PostOffice/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">building now has an uncertain future</span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> since these events.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The postcard depicts a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pretty scene, with a hubbub of people going about their everyday life, toting parasols and driving hansom cabs.

With his little legs aching and clutching his flag to wave as Montgomery's car passed, it finally appeared but as a blur...taking only seconds to zoom past much to the disappointment of my dad.</span><br />

arrived in the Colony in 1863 by the ship “Lancashire Witch,” and is a

father in England, and on arriving in New Zealand worked at his calling
for various employers for about five years before starting on his own
account in Tuam Street, Christchurch. This business he conducted for
about ten years, selling it out then and purchasing the present concern
in 1880. Mr. Jones has made many improvements in several classes of
vehicles, especially in four-wheelers, vans, and steel-framed roadsters,
and imports steel and other requisites. The premises cover about a
quarter of an acre of ground".[1]</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Mr Edward Jones; <a href="http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP18910529.2.48&srpos=15&e=-------10--11----0edward+jones+sydenham--" target="_blank">JP</a>., a well-known local coachbuilder, died yesterday morning at his residence, 35 Byron Street, Sydenham. He arrived in Christchurch in the year 1863 and was well known in political and civic matters, having been on the Sydenham Council 25 years, on the Sydenham School Committee for 15 years, and president of the Sydenham
Money Club for 37 years. He was also an officer in Orange and Oddfellow
lodges, and was chairman for the Hon. W. P. Reeves when he was elected

Agent-Generalship. He leaves a widow, four sons, and three daughters. [3]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">She was born in Swannanoa, North Canterbury to James and Frances EVANS nee STEVENSON. The third eldest of 9. It's fair to say that she didn't make some good choices in life but then life was [in my opinion] a lot harder back then for females.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Her father James [family lore has it] wanted sons - he did get one - James George [known as George] who arrived as child number 6 of the 9 in 1899. James (senior) was harsh on his daughters and I have been told that often Lucy's sister Lillian was banished to the stairs as a child to eat her dinner. Not sure if Lucy or the other daughters were. Photos I have of her do not show her smiling much at all.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">She was married in April 1911 at her fathers house in Kaiapoi to great grandad John KENNEDY [1888-1963 his parents story <a href="http://invokinglibitina.blogspot.co.nz/2009/10/kennedy-ancestral-hunt.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>] and my grandfather duly appeared on the scene in September of that year. A distant relative informed me that Lucy had done the obvious so that she could leave home. Somehow it doesn't surprise me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">More children appeared in the next few years:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Mary Anne 1913 [died 2008]</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">James Edward 1915 [died 2002]</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hugh [Hughie] 1918 [died 1950] </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">On 31 March 1918 her husband John was admitted to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunnyside_Hospital" target="_blank">Sunnyside Hospital</a>. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">He received a diagnosis of delusional insanity
which is not a diagnosis used these days. Apparently he had been unwell
for one week and presented with auditory hallucinations i.e. he was
hearing voices and he believed that people were trying to poison him.
He also believed that people were going to try and harm him with
electricity [this dovetailed with a family story that he was
hospitalised due to an 'electrical shock']. From the brief description
given over the next two or three months of his hospital life, it would
seem that he was probably in fact suffering from a depressive illness.
He was described as dull and drab and at times quite suspicious. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Correspondence I had in 1990 with a medical superintendent who looked over John's sparse records states he was out of Sunnyside "on trial" between 27 July 1918 </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> It seemed that he improved spontaneously and was allowed out on leave to</span> 30 October 1918 yet John was readmitted into hospital on 24 August 1918. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">On the 30 August 1918 upon his return, it was
stated that "he had brightened up considerably, he was tidy and alert and
industrious and that his delusions appeared to be in abeyance." </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">John was eventually discharged completely on that occasion on 26 February 1919.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>Lucy fell pregnant with her 5th child Lillian during the time John was out. Lillian was born and died 19 May 1919.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">John's admission on the second occasion to Sunnyside Hospital was on 22 August 1921. Lucy had given birth in 1920 to another daughter Pearl by this stage. John never left hospital again and was later transferred </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">on 7 March 1956</span></span> from Sunnyside to Ngawhatu Hospital, Nelson. The reasons for his transfer are not on record. It was here that he died on 22 October 1963. A year after I was born. Grandma Lucy had told the family he had died years and years earlier. It came as a shock to some of his elderly grandchildren when I discovered in the 1990's when he had actually died - they would have liked to have visited him. He is buried in a paupers plot at Marsden Valley cemetery, Nelson.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have such a better understanding of the impacts of post traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] nowadays. One of the tragedies of World War 1 was that of course mental illness was not perceived as an illness per se. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The impact on men suffering after witnessing horrific sights and/or battle shocks has become well known now. The angst caused to many families with men arriving back home having to recuperate, changed forever can't be imagined in some cases - very few support systems in place at that time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have recently found the story of a Kiwi soldier who appears to have suffered much. After absenting without leave, he was considered a deserter, only to have that status rescinded in 1928 when he was identified in a 'mental hospital' in Sydney, Australia, a decade after disappearing. The torment his family must have gone through is unimaginable.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Could not possibly have been inspired
by a diseased imagination. This poor, broken creature managed to tell
the authorities at Callan Park Asylum, Sydney, that he had enlisted IN
Australia with the Second Battalion IN 1914 and had gone to Egypt, indeed
a land of riddles; thence to Gallipoli — Gallipoli of the treacherous
slopes and white crosses. At the evacuation, he asserted, he was shifted
to Tele el Kebir and later went on to France with the 15th Battalion,
being among the first batch of Australians in action on the Western
Front. He had experienced a month of stationary warfare, when fate moved
a relentless, set purposeful, hand. A shell burst on the dug-out in
which McQuay was sheltered and the structure collapsed on top of him.
They pulled him out of the debris a mere number — a soldier without
memory or identity — knowing not from whence he came or whither he was
bound. That was the only construction the Australian authorities could
place on what they knew and what McQuay had intermittently mumbled to
them when he felt communicative. After a sojourn in a French hospital, he
somehow reached London. One day a digger was seen wandering
aimlessly and pathetically around the streets of the British capital.
Yes, one can be lonely even in vast London. The digger was wearing the
Australian uniform and was therefore placed in the hands of the
Australian authorities. Obviously a hospital case, a man incapable of
looking after himself — physically and morally ill — he was not sent
back to the front. Subsequently McQuay reached Australia on the S.S.
Karoola, landing in Melbourne and then being entrained to Sydney. But the
stalwart young man who had gone away a soldier found himself a
gibbering, unknown, irreconcilable nobody. At Broughton Hill military
hospital, as it then was, he was entered as a patient, and it was there
that he told a disconnected, but logical, story. His name was "George"
and the surname "Brown" was either attached' to him at some period
before his arrival — in order to give him at least some semblance of
identity — or else he assumed it as the next best thing in an extremity
of mental instability. However, from being a patient of meekness and
contentment, the unhappy digger developed into a very bad mental case,
utterly irresponsible at times and liable to strange fits of violence in
the nature of hurling himself on the floor, contorting himself or else suddenly attacking the person nearest him..." </em></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <a href="http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=NZTR19280405.2.2.4&e=-------10--1----2--" target="_blank">Read in full</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ethel May MCQUAY, George's sister died in 1893 aged 8 months</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">William Robert MCQUAY, George's brother, married Annie PILKINGTON <a href="http://www.presbyterian.org.nz/archives/nzmarriageregisters/akaroamarriages2.htm" target="_blank">20 Dec1923</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Emma Louisa WHITE married Robert MCQUAY c1884. There is a marriage record c1919 for Emma Louisa MCQUAY [George's mother] to John Edwin KNUDSEN so it is interesting to see her name recorded throughout as Mrs McQuay still. John KNUDSEN died 1953 aged 78 so this would indicate his birthdate as c1875, making him quite a bit younger than Emma.</span><br />

We knew that if he was overdue, my daughter Jessica wouldn't be kept too long before a decision was made whether or not to have a caesarean especially after the birth of their first son <a href="http://invokinglibitina.blogspot.co.nz/2011/03/earthquake-baby-rollercoaster-ride-of.html" target="_blank">Joseph, amid the tumultuous days after the Christchurch earthquake.</a> However, there was a snowstorm forecast for the same time his caesarean was scheduled that was meant to be the worst since the 1992 Canterbury snowstorms...luckily just days of wind and torrential rain with a smattering of snow actually occurred in Christchurch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now and then my mum comes out with the odd little gem she has been given over the years by now deceased family members so that I can keep them. This visit, I've been given the lovely hanky that her Uncle Bob sent her when she was 6 or 7 [1943-44] and he was serving in the RAF after serving in the RNZAF. It still has the wee note attached to it with a rusty pin [unfortunately] however I'll deal to that :) On close inspection it appears to be hand embroidered and wouldn't surprise me at all if this was done by Bob.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Uncle Bob was a wireless operator and tail gunner was himself shot down twice during the war but survived. <a href="http://www.sarndra.com/jose.html" target="_blank">His story is here</a>, a rather romantic one in parts.</span></div>

<strong><em><u><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Disposing of the past</span></u></em></strong><br />
<br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whilst in Christchurch I've been having a lovely time staying with my parents who are now well and truly settled in their 'new' home. I did take the opportunity to take photographs of the empty section where their earthquake damaged, <a href="http://cera.govt.nz/land-information/land-zones" target="_blank">'red zoned'</a> former home [and where I grew up] stood until a few weeks ago] which has <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/porkynz/9040987442/in/set-72157634120961132" target="_blank">now been demolished</a>. This was quite an eerie feeling but I feel the cycle has been completed in the life of the house and I've been lucky to have had the chance to go back over the months to gather photos of it's decline.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The past has also been disposed of in relation to my quake damaged but now repaired [which did not happen without it's own set of very stressing events house in a TC3 zoned area of Christchurch. It's been for sale since 20 March 2012 and I could have sold it at least 3 times except that prospective buyers could not secure insurance for it. Luckily this purchaser knew someone connected to the insurance world who obtained full cover. The Government does not know how crippling an effect it has become to home owners by labelling our properties and causing such stress. Here is the earlier <a href="http://invokinglibitina.blogspot.co.nz/2011/08/insurance-woes.html" target="_blank">story of my house</a>. I was one of the first home owners whose insurance company refused to reinsure their home after the quake in February 2011.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It feels very weird after 32 years of mortgage paying to not have a mortgage anymore but WOO HOOO it also feels fantastic!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is a recent purchase I snapped up for $5 on Trademe. It's brilliant isn't it :) ... I love the casualness of the moment. From the uniform to the face pulling and the realisation they're being photographed. I wonder what the story is behind the snap.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year sees the 70th anniversary of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._617_Squadron_RAF" target="_blank">Dambusters</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I discovered last year that my partners* great uncle was one of the amazing men in this elite group.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't really know a lot about him, nor does my partner, who was born late 1960's in New Zealand and whose parents immigrated to New Zealand in the very early 1960's. Family anecdotes are sketchy. I don't have a photo of him. Maybe one will appear one day! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eric Norman Percival was born in 1909 in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enniscorthy" target="_blank">Enniscorthy</a>, Co. Wexford, Ireland to William ARMSTRONG and Annie nee BUTTLE [1874-1960] - one of their seven children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">He married Olive Glass REID [sic] in the third quarter of 1936 Dublin South, Ireland and information I have come across on Ancestry.com states he was a shopkeeper. They lived across the road from where their parents had always lived.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ireland was neutral in the war</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, no national service so he volunteered to join and went to the U.K. to train. Military service number 126555.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eric commenced flying on the
24th June 1942 at No.4 Air Gunnery School and flew his first operation
on the 20th November 1942, with 16 OTU [Operational Training Unit] to Paris on a Nickel run. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Pilot on the last three occasions was
F/Lt PRYOR DFC. This Officer would be the Captain on the 12th January
1945 when the crew [with Eric as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_gunner" target="_blank">front gunner</a>] were detailed to bomb the U-Boat pens at Bergen. Over
the target, the Lancaster B I PD233/KC-G was engaged by a German FW 190 Night fighter, a
running fight 37 minutes incurred with the Lancaster sustaining heavy
damage, the loss of two engines, the rear gunner having to hand crank
his turret into firing positions, and the plane dropping to a height of
only 1,100 feet. At this stage over a small island North West of Bergen
the order to bail out was given. A comment from the log "No hope of
escape captured within a few hours all crew OK." One 190 claimed as probably destroyed. POW 4 months. The Bomb aimers parachute did not open
properly and he sustained injuries on hitting the ground at Lille Landon, Norway, resulting in
his death. The FW190 mentioned in the log, was later confirmed as a
Kill. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Repatriated to the UK in May 1945 and after a period of rest, he
was posted to 15 Squadron in July 1945 and recommenced flying duties. He
remained with this Squadron and his last entry is dated 17th March
1946. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charles Edward was the son of Charles Abraham STRATFORD and Ann Agnes nee HURST who wed circa 1891[5].

birth to Ambrose James STRATFORD at Swindon Lodge in Linwood, Christchurch[18] and only 14 months later on 26 August 1896, Charles senior was fined 5 shillings after having been charged that:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few months later, Charles [buried in this grave] was born, and it appears his parents relationship continued on its rocky course, as his parents separated in 1898 and Annie applied for a separation under
the Married Persons’ Separation act on the ground of his persistent cruelty to
her.[6] </span></div>

he was a stable hand born in Australia and had been in New Zealand 40 years at the time
of his death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His obituary hints at
someone who appeared to have a bit more clout than a stable hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> It seems his many transgressions were overlooked by the racing fraternity, as a</span> month after his death, the ‘annual inter
Island jockeys’ football match was held and some of the takings went towards “erecting
a memorial stone” to him[10]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and his

one of the most capable and certainly the most vigorous finisher in New

was the last of the “long legs,” and persevered with the old-time seat to the
last, as he still used it when noticed riding exercise on the eve of the last
Great Autumn meeting at Riccarton,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
1893 he won the Stewards’ Handicap on Au Revoir, and in 1894 the Dunedin Cup
and Wanganui Cup on Liberator.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also
won the Wellington Cup on The Poet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These we his most notable wins and he also scored on Artillery in the
D.J.C. Champagne Stakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the most
notable finishes that ever took place on the old Forbury Park course was
between Stratford on Au Revoir and T. Buddicombe on Beadonwell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They fought out a battle royal nearly all the
way up the straight, with both riders hard at it over the final 100 yards with
demonish vigour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They flashed past the
post together, and the judge could not separate them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such finishes are not seen nowadays, because
the average rider sits too short to get the last ounce out of a horse, who not
infrequently has to finish on his own and just for the love of a battle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charles Stratford was very popular with the
old brigade and his death will be deeply regretted by all who knew him.”<span style="font-size: xx-small;">[11]</span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In all probability, Margaret married Treavo GARDNER in 1920[21].

Margaret in Block 12 Pot 299 and Treavo in plot 298. Buried in Block 12 Plot 298 is Noel Mariest GARDNER who died 19 Oct 2006 aged 67, a labourer born in Christchurch.

Italy, on 19 January 1868 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">[differs to

Marie de Raimondo Castelpoggi. Carrara was the centre of the Italian marble
industry and the family were stonemasons and sculptors. As a young man Carlo
arrived in Australia and New Zealand as a travelling representative of the
family firm, hoping to win orders for cemetery headstones and marble monuments.</span></span></span></span></div>

who had migrated with her parents from County Antrim, Ireland <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">[note conflicting information in Bromley
Cemetery database states she was born in Christchurch – Sarndra]</i>. Despite
his Roman Catholic faith, they were married in a Presbyterian ceremony on 18
May 1889. Family legend says that on the honeymoon in Melbourne Carlo spent the
money set aside for his return to Italy. The couple returned to Dunedin where
Carlo set up as a marble sculptor and monumental mason, first on his own
account, then in 1898 in a partnership with James Crawford, and finally some
two years later in association with Elizabeth's father, Hugh Reid. Marble
angels and crosses were imported in sculpted form from Bergamini's family in

provided new opportunities for Bergamini. Some communities, wishing to
commemorate both pride in their sons' service to the empire and sorrow for
those who had fallen, decided to erect war memorials. Often they called for
designs on a competitive basis. Carlo Bergamini proved to be an adept designer,
and five communities </span></span></span></span><br />

his designs summed up the sentiments of the period. The iconography expressed
that mixture of nationalist and imperialist enthusiasms which New Zealanders
associated with the country's participation in the war. At both Palmerston and
Waimate his designs featured a youthful figure of Zealandia – the daughter of
Britannia – with one hand raised in triumph and the other carrying a wreath of
flowers. At Oamaru the sculpture was a realistic portrayal of a local veteran;
at Dunedin it was a more generalised heroic New Zealand trooper protecting an
injured mate. The details also showed how sensitively Bergamini had read the
prevailing mood. On three of the memorials the Union Jack and the New Zealand
Ensign were intertwined in marble beneath the protection of the imperial crown,
while at Palmerston and Oamaru the British lion made a symbolic appearance.
Such details helped make these memorials undoubtedly the most distinguished in
the country.</span></span></span></div>

appropriateness of his designs, while the firm of Bergamini and Reid received
plaudits for their relative economy and the efficiency with which they put up
the memorials once the carved figures had arrived from Italy. When the
Invercargill memorial, for which Bergamini was not responsible, was being
hoisted into place it fell and broke into three pieces. Immediately Bergamini
was called in and his repair led contemporaries to wonder at his 'artistic
manipulation of the Carrara marble'.</span></span></span></div>

imperial sentiments in stone, Bergamini remained essentially Italian. He drank
red wine, made his own ravioli, and eventually took his daughter back to Italy
for several years. By then his life had changed, both personally and
professionally. The business partnership with Hugh Reid dissolved in 1909, and
Bergamini moved to Christchurch. There his marriage with Elizabeth also
suffered and they separated during the First World War. By that time, too,
Carlo had given up work as a stonemason and become a commercial traveller,
eventually working for the International Harvester Company. In the years
following the First World War, when New Zealand again erected memorials,
Bergamini was no longer prepared to offer his services. Occasionally, however,
in prickly letters to the Christchurch newspapers, he was prepared to offer
advice on others' memorial designs. He signed his address, 'Carrara Academy'.</span></span></span></div>

of fair hair and blue eyes, died at Christchurch on 16 July 1934, survived by
his wife, three sons and a daughter; one son had predeceased him. Fitting
monuments to his life's work are the beautifully designed South African War
memorials found in Otago and Southland."</span></span></span><br />

BERGAMINI. An action for £100 damages. Mr Sim appeared for the plaintiff, Henry
James Wise (labourer), and Mr Gallaway for the defendant, Carlo Bergamini
(sculptor). This case was heard before a jury of four, the jurors being
Alexander G. M'Kellop (foreman), Robert Marshall, George M. Aikman, and Frederick
E. Campbell—The plaintiff, in his statement, said that on October 17, 1903,
defendant assaulted him with a hammer, and broke ,his arm, wherefore he claimed
£100 damages.—The defendant denied (1) assaulting plaintiff as alleged or
otherwise; (2) that he broke plaintiff's arm or otherwise injured him, and
further stated that plaintiff came to his business' premises and behaved in a violent
and disorderly manner. He was apparently under the influence of drink, and was
ejected. Plaintiff returned, and struck defendant without provocation, and in
attempting to defend himself defendant accidentally struck him with a hammer<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that he had in his hand. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mr Sim,
in opening the case, said that plaintiff formerly worked for Bergamini, and had
a claim against him for wages. On the date stated Wise called at the yard and
asked defendant to settle up. They had some words, and Wise struck him. Bergamini
was working at a stone at the time, and had a hammer in his hand. When the
plaintiff struck him defendant struck him back with the hammer. Plaintiff took
the blow on his arm, and it broke with the force of the blow. He attempted to
strike Bergamini again, and the latter struck him four or five blows
altogether. Of course it was wrong of him to strike Bergamini, and if defendant
had defended himself by using his fists instead of the hammer the case would
never have come on. But, as his Honor would doubtless tell the jury, the right
of self-defence must not be abused. A man had <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to defend himself against attack, and in
repelling an attack to rise force, but he had no right to use a deadly weapon.
Defendant stated that the blow was accidental, but Dr Macpherson would depose
there were several wounds on plaintiff's head, and it was too much to ask the
jury to believe that they were all accidental. Dr Macpherson, in his evidence,
said that Wise came to him with a fracture of the ulna (one of the bones of the
forearm) and several scalp wounds. There were also one or two abrasions about
the face. </span></span></span></span></div>

Plaintiff, in evidence, said that Bergamini owed him £3 for wages, and he went
down to see him about it. Bergamini was working at a stone, and plaintiff asked
him if he was going to square up. Defendant said no, and plaintiff said he
would put it in the hands of a solicitor. Defendant said he did not care, and
would not pay. Witness struck him, and Bergamini struck back. Witness raised
his arm to protect himself, and received a blow from the hammer on the arm.
Witness closed with him, and in the struggle witness received a blow on the
back of the head. Reid (defendant's partner) separated them, and took witness
to the gate. He told Reid his arm was broken. Witness was going back to get his
tools, and saw Bergamini again. Witness struck him on the head, and Bergamini
struck him back several times. He struck witness on the head, and said "I
kill you;' I kill you." Witness became unconscious then, and the next he
remembered was being in the yard with Reid, who was bathing his head at the
tap. Witness called Bergamini an Italian devil <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as he went out. He took a cab up to Dr
Macpherson's, where he was attended to. Witness had two glasses that morning.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Cross-examined: Bergamini was lettering a stone when witness went in. He did
not remember chasing Bergamini's boy around the yard or falling against a
granite tombstone. There were two assaults with the hammer. Witness would swear
that he had made no application to his lodge for payment. The doctor advised
him not to put in a claim. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mr Gallaway submitted that the story told by the
plaintiff was improbable. It was perfectly obvious that there must be a great
deal more in the matter than had already come out. That Wise was struck on the
head with the hammer was not denied; that he was wilfully struck by Bergamini
was an entirely different thing. Bergamini was not on the premises when Wise
first came. One of Bergamini's sons, seeing Wise the worse for drink, very improperly
began, to "chaff" him, and Wise chased him round the yard. Wise did
not remember this, nor did he remember his fall against, the granite. Bergamini
was away at the bank, and when he came in he <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>spoke to Wise, and then went to his work. Wise
came back after Reid got him out, and if his arm was broken then it was
perfectly obvious that Bergamini could not have done it, When Wise came back he
struck at Bergamini <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and if Bergamini
struck back it must have been in self- defence. It could not have been
intentional) for the hammer was heavy enough to kill him if Bergamini had
struck him intentionally. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Carlo Bergamini, in his evidence stated that when he
saw that Wise was drunk he told him to come back on Monday. Wise struck him,
and ho hit back with his open hand. Wise fell on the ground with his left arm
under him. Witness did not then have the hammer in his hand. When Wise came
back the second time witness was working at a stone, and did not hear his
approach. The first thing he knew was a blow on the temple. Witness put his
hands out, and defendant's head came in contact with the hammer. There was a
scuffle, and witness heard someone Look out for the stone!" This was a
granite stone, weighing 10cwt that was falling down. Reid put out his hand and
stopped it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Witness was excited, and did
not know what he was doing. Cross-examined: Witness did not strike Wise with
the hammer; he knocked his head against it. Witness never knocked a man down
with a mallet at Palmer's, where he formerly worked. Witness was not excited,
but was quite calm during tho Wise incident. </span></span></span></span></div>

She was examined by two doctors, who found four large bruises on her hips, and both medicos expressed the opinion that no misdemeanor on the part of the child could warrant such a beating". Consequently, the child was placed in a receiving home and her foster mother, Mrs. Bergamini, was charged with ill-treating her. Sergeant Hodgson gave evidence to the effect. that 'he interviewed the woman who admitted beating the child with a stick which she kept for beating carpets. She said Rachael [the beaten child] had been untruthful and while punishing her for it the child kicked the accused, who gave the offending infant more strokes than she had intended to. The sergeant said that two of the bruises on the girl's leg were four and five inches long. Describing the stick to Mr. Roy Twyneham, counsel for the accused, Sergeant Hodgson, said, it was two feet nine inches long, a little thicker than a pipe-stem, and there was no give in it.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">YES indeed this is my most exciting news to look forward to this year so far! Due 15th June. A wee sparring partner for Joseph who will be 2 <span style="font-size: small;">yrs 4 m<span style="font-size: small;">ths when baby boy <span style="font-size: small;">arri<span style="font-size: small;">ves.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My lovely daughter Jessica and her husband imparted this news to me early November to give me a bit of a boost during a rather blah time I was going through back then. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It has also been a hard year for both of them losing a baby in May 2012 after an ectopic pregnancy for which surgery was required of course and then losing another when she was up here visiting my partner and I in July 2012. All appears fine with <span style="font-size: small;">this bab<span style="font-size: small;">e and she has now reached the 17 week stage.</span></span></span></span> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">My time away in Christchurch over the Christmas break was fantastic also in that I managed to snap over 2000 photographs, most of these at Bromley Cemetery. I have this penchant to photograph as many graves as I could that mentioned deceased military members of family's on headstones but that had no official military plaque or similar. Along with these, I try to photograph headstones </span><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> [like my work as a volunteer researcher for the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TheFriendsOfLinwoodCemetery" target="_blank">Friends of Linwood Cemetery Trust </a>doesn't keep me busy!],</span> I feel will offer an interesting story if I dig further and so go by ages of the interred [very early birth years in comparison to New Zealand's European history]; multiple deaths that are close in date; 'accidental deaths'; other various military graves and unusual names. Many other of my grave photographs with bios can be found <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/porkynz/sets" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">This cemetery like all others in Christchurch and outlying areas has been badly damaged due the the thousands of earthquakes in the past 2 1/2 years with many stones smashed and with the risk that the 'physical' information will be lost forever if not captured now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Oh yesss I'm an enthusiastic taphophile but now I have to do biographies for them if I can. Some are 'quick and dirty' biographies due to lack of information, others tend to weave their own stories and take on a 'life' of their own. The MIDDLETON grave was one such grave.</span><b><i><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The fabulous thing about working at our war memorial museum is not only the opportunity to get hands on with amazing artifacts, I am also proud of the amazing commemorations organised to give thanks to those we may not know but who gave the ultimate sacrifice - their lives. It is also, I like to think, a time to remember those who had to assimilate back in to 'normal' life and all the horrors that would have brought. Men with physical and mental disabilities changed forever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Armistice Day this year was a treat because not only was it on 'Remembrance Sunday' and I could attend [whereas on a weekday i'd be working at the museum and not get the chance], but HRH Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall attended as part of their 'Jubilee Tour'. A couple of days beforehand, museum staff were advised that if we wanted to put our names forward, some of us would have a chance to meet the royal couple by random selection 'via a hat'. By the time I remembered, the option had passed LOL! My weeks have been manic lately! Not to worry </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">:o)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Mike and I snaffled seats up nice and close to the podium and Cenotaph and got a good view of everything.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">The weather was perfect. Overcast and not really cold so photo's came out not too bad. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">How fascinating I find trawling the pages of </span><a href="http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">paperspast</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Yesterday was no exception when I became totally sidetracked from the research I was doing on </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">one of the hundreds of graves I've photographed and picked up on a rather sad story.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This news article drew me in. The thought of these 2 wee boys alone in the world and feeling unwanted, so I thought I'd do a 'quick' search and see what I could find on them...well I should know by now that I get totally absorbed and it is NEVER a quick research *grin*. The following took up my whole afternoon and night but such a fascinating journey and of course more questions are posed rather than gaining all the answers.</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">NEGLECTED CHILDREN. –John Vivian Cogar [sic] and George Vivian Paul Cogar,
[sic] aged eight and five respectively, were charged with being neglected
children. Inspector Pender said their
mother was dead, and their father was mate of a ship. He left the children in charge of a Mrs Bevan,
paying her two months in advance for their maintenance. The man had been away six months, and Mrs
Bevan not being able to keep the children had turned then into the street. He asked, therefore that they be sent to
Burnham Industrial School. His worship
made an order committing the children to Burnham, that they be brought up in the Church of
England religion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">And moving on a couple of years later… it seems Mrs Beaven had a change of heart – but things still
did not end up any better for the boys…</span></div>

NEGLECTED
CHILDREN – John COGAR, ten years old and George COGAR, seven years old, were
brought before the Court as neglected children.
Their mother was dead, and their father at sea, and they had been in
charge of a Mrs Bevan, who being unable to obtain anything for their maintenance,
was anxious to be rid of the burden.
They had formerly been in Burnham, but had been released upon Mrs Bevan’s
application. On March 28, they came to
the Police Station and said they were destitute. His Worship committed the children to
Burnham, to be brought up in the Church of England religion.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the Auckland Star, 29 May 1875 an article states:</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“[from our London correspondent.]</span></div>

</span>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the other case a clerk, named Thomas COGAR, was committed for trial
for forgery of a cheque for £30, which he said he had done because
he was hard up an was about to go to New Zealand that day with his family.” Good, so now we have an immigration date.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">By 1891, Thomas’ career had blossomed as he is noted as a Master
Mariner at the time of his second marriage to Emily Mary BAUER in Auckland:</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">“On December 31, at St. Sepulchre’s Church, by the Ven. Archdeacon
Dudley, Thomas Cogar master mariner, to Emily Mary, youngest daughter of Jacob
Bauer, cabinet-maker, late of Hamilton, Waikato – Cornwall papers please copy.”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">They eventually had a child who, interestingly enough also featured
Vivian in his name - Frederick Basil Vivian COGAR on 28 July 1896 at his
parents residence, Wakefield street, Auckland. In 1926, Frederick changed his
name by deed poll to ROCKLAND.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Frederick served in WW1 the NZ
Expeditionary Forces as a Private in the Specialist Company married Mabel
Lauretta GODFREY in 1926 and he died 1963 aged 66, a retired electrician. His ashes are interred in Waikumete cemetery,
Auckland and he does have a probate available.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">In 1893, Captain COGAR was censured after a marine board inquiry into
the wreck of the Auckland-bound barquentine Darcy Pratt, near Rockhampton, the
Court found that the vessel was lost through recklessness and negligent
navigation which included not having correct sized maps. It was lost on 21 January 1893, and was on a voyage from
Rockhampton to Auckland with 220 tons cargo of bones and bone dust, when she
was lost off Polmaise Reef. </span><a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/52443456?searchTerm=darcy%20pratt&searchLimits=" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Read story and outcome here</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;">. </span></div>

<br />
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Interesting to note also, is that when Emily died in 1931 aged 62 her
name then was Emily Mary ROCKLAND. It
seems that Frederick’s mother [and Thomas’s wife] also changed her name. It appears the marriage ended to Thomas and
thereby taking another name? I have not found an entry for any second
marriage. Her death notice in the Auckland Star states:</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">On April 30, 1931 at her residence, 22 Arabi Street, Sandringham, Emily
Mary, relict of the late William Alfred ROCKLAND, beloved mother of Basil and
Sister of Fred and William BAUER, of Auckland. Funeral will leave the above
address Saturday, at 2pm for Purewa.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A bereavement acknowledgement notice in the Auckland Star , 9 May 1931
states:</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">“Mr and Mrs ROCKLAND and niece wish to thank all those who sympathised
with them in the loss of their dear mother and aunt (specially Mrs Reid); also
for telegrams, cards and floral emblems received.”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">William Alfred ROCKLAND whose probate is available is noted as being a
tramway inspector, died in 1920 aged 40 and is buried in Purewa cemetery,
Auckland, Emily is in the same plot. Being
born in 1880, he was much younger than Emily, who was born in 1869. They were ‘married’ by the time Frederick enlisted in the Army as his next of kin is listed as Mrs
Emily Rockland [mother]. Emily’s also
has a probate available and she is noted as a widow.</span></div>

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I’ve found no death entry for Thomas COGAR and it may be possible he
was lost at sea?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Surprisingly during the research of the 2 neglected boys, I came across
another newspaper entry for an Eliza COGAR.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Star , Issue 4321, 28 February 1882, Page 3</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">“Christchurch, Tuesday, Feb 28 before R Beetham Esq., R.M.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">NEGLECTED CHILD – Eliza Cogar was charged with being a neglected
child within the meaning of the Neglected and Criminal Children’s Act. Detective T. Neil said that the girl, who was
about 14 years old, had been brought to the Police Depot by the matron of the
Armagh Street Depot, where she had been living with her mother. The girl had recently developed a wandering
