Kia ora, hello,
I am not sure if either my mother or I have posted on here before. I am a descendant of James Ponui Nicholls and Hera Te Whakaawa through their daughter Lennie (aka Laura/Rennie/Rena) who married John Stewart Patty. Mum has some old pictures but I think they are of John Stewart Patty and Lennie. I would have to check. My great grandmother is Laura Evelyn Pattie, the daughter of John Stewart Patty and Lennie. There is a lot of info to read on here!
I am currently living in Melbourne - which has been great for researching John Stewart Patty (born in Ballarat, the family name is Pattie, but his is Patty on his birth certificate etc). We have his marriage certificate and death certificate, also I think Lennie or her daughters birth certificate. I will find out this weekend when I am back in Auckland.
sorry for the ramble!
Thanks
