Steen family

[Suezy]

Thank you so much for that Steenie. I will alter my records. My mother was the youngest, Eileen. She died in 2004. I have two older brothers and we have lived in Auckland all our lives.

Any idea who Phyllis was? I remember mum talking about Phyllis. Was she her cousin?

[Steenie]

Yes Phyllis was the cousin, came out from Ireland and lived with Thomas and Violet, and had a cake shop with young Violet. Her father was James Steen who also came to NZ later and died here in1970.  Her sister Betty also came out here and died in Whangarei last year. I remember Phyllis and I met Betty in Whangarei a few years ago when my parents retired there, also went to see her a couple of years ago in a resthome up there.

You have to be my cousin and now I'm trying to figure out which one  ??

[Steenie]

Sorry, I didn't read your earlier post now I know who you are, we swapped photos last year or the year before
 I spent some time with your oldest brother when on holiday with another cousin

[Suezy]

I had a feeling it was someone I knew.    Nice to talk to you.

I have a Mary Maud Moody (I have seen her name written as Matilda) who married Joseph Thompson Steen. He was a provisions merchant. His residence was Londonderry and his father was George Steen, a clergyman. Mary was the daughter of Thomas Moody, a banker, and her place of residence was Limavady. They were married July 11 1878 at the house of Thomas Moody by George Steen. Witnesses were Alexander Nelson Steen and Annie Moody. Hope this may be of help.

Cyclamen,
               Should you not already be aware and if you have an interest I can supply more information on the Rev. George Steen and his wife.
