Hi there,

Seeking more information about "Greggs Green Island Hotel" and Kyneton Restaraunt (Caversham) C 1865 in Dunedin.

All I know is that the owners were Henry Gregg 1864-65. While an Eliza Gregg ran the Shepherd's Arms at the same time.

I would particulary like images or photo's of these buildings/owners - and any info on them.

My connection is a sad one, in that my GGG Grandfather, James Potter committed suicide via overdose of laudanum in the Green Island hotel in 1865. James was a publican himself (keeper of Kyneton restaraunt). He opened the Styx hotel with wife Helen, in 1851 on the Central Otago gold rush trail...

I believe James' descendants kept in contact with the Greggs, and paticularly with "Jack Gregg" and family who moved to Christchurch in the early 1900's. We have many old postcards that refer to the Greggs.

 

Hi there,

Have just found a connection to this family through my father's side. I would be most grateful for any information/certificates/photos of this family. Particularly interested in their life in and around Te Aroha.

William Nicholls married H Te Whakaawa
Their daughter Alice Grey Nicholls married Charles John Dearle 1880
Their daughter Annie Dearle married George William Rogers
Their daughter Elsa Mabel Jean Rogers married  Eric Howard in 1928 = 3 children
Elsa died 1956 Tauranga.

many, many thanks!
