McGregor - Thames Coromandel

[crystal blue]

Hi

I am working on my McGregor family history and would welcome any information.

Alexander McGregor and Sophia Hohipaia Ngapuhi had several children one of which was my great grandfather John Alexander born about 1862 Kennedys Bay.

John Alexander McGregor married Mary Taruke Taite (born Raglan 1870).

I would love to hear from anyone that knows any further information or can help me find out more about Alexander and Sophia and their descendants.

Kind regards
Crystal

[alimack8]

I don't know if you will get this message being 2 years late!
I have been researching whakapapa for my children. Hohi Ngapuhi is their great(x4) grandmother.  Her and Alexander Macgregor had a son John Alexander Macgregor who had a daughter called Harriet. She married Francis Rudolf Shortcliff who are my partners great grandparents (or the kids great great grandparents).
Don't know much else.
If you have any other info it would be much appreciated.
