Hi there
I am currently writing a book on Aramoho, Wanganui NZ and am very interested in any families living there previous to 1920. I am especially interested in any photographs that depict family life, and any stories from that time of life in Aramoho/or
Alternatively, if you have family you are trying to find, I may have come across them and am very willing to help.
Cheers, Shikyna

Hi Shikyna
... and Welcome to RootsChat.
Your willingness to help others in trying to find their Wanganui families, is a lovely gesture, which will be very much appreciated, I'm sure.
In case you haven't already found it, the PapersPast website might be of some assistance to you, with all the online newspapers, now "fully searchable".

Best of luck with your book.

Hi there - I will have a look when I am up at the Heritage Room.
There were also Pawsons in Wanganui. Are they your lot too? My home email is (*). 
Cheers

Hello,
I have two families in this area, but unfortunately can not tell you anything about the area - just names and dates.
1. Crutchley, William, (1852 - 1926), a bootmaker, marr 2nd Grace McCartney
had 9 children
2. Calman, Nelson Bruce, (1892-1950), a carpenter, marr Vera Fawcett, had
4 children.
Regards,
Jean

Hi Jean
The Calman name is well-known in Wanganui. George Calman had one of the early general stores and William Calman was a cabinetmaker and undertaker. IT would seem that Nelson may be a son of William or possibly a younger brother. Do you have any idea if either of the above might be possible?
There was a W Crutchley who owned the Liverpool Variety Store around 1903. He advertised that he sold fruit and stationery and cleaned, dyed and coloured feathers! It is not a very common name. There is a Steve Crutchley, racehorse trainer at Aramoho still. I am very interested in this Crutchley as there was a bootmaker's at Aramoho that I do not know much about.
Thanks for this information.

Hi there - the Rossiters seemed to have been better known in Taranaki. I will keep my ear to the ground for you but this is not a name which has yet rung a bell!
Cheers and thanks for the interest.

Hello again,
1. Nelson Bruce CALMAN, born 6 March 1892, was the first child of William CALMAN and Jane BRUCE. I am interested in this family because my great aunt, Vera Ruth Jane FAWCETT married Nelson CALMAN 27 March 1918.
2. William CRUTCHLEY was born 1852, probably Northamptonshire, and married Eliza BARBER there. They emigrated to Christchurch, Canterbury, where both his wife and one child died. The other child (Annie CRUTCHLEY) seems to have been taken in by the maternal BARBER granparents, and William went to Auckland, where he married Grace McCARTNEY, 28 July 1883, and then I next find these two in Wanganui. And, Yes, William CRUTCHLEY was always listed as a boot maker or boot finisher.
Regards,
Jean

Hi Jean
I will look in the heritage room when I go up next. There might be a photo of William's business. Have you accessed PapersPast which will give you ads from the era.
Cheers

Hi,
I have family from the Aramoho area. The ANDREW family went there after they were in the Ashurst area.
My Great Grandfather William Jeffery Andrew was a headmaster at Wanganui East, I do have a few photos, but they would be a bit later (1930s) but have a family photo of the Andrew family before Leslie Wilton Andrew went to WW1. I believe most of the family is buried at the Aramoho cemetery.
Regards Gail
