Winifred Conboy Fairbrother daughter of thomas and honor

[Adele Pentony-Graham]

Going through old scans last night, I came across a letter from the owner of DALEFIELD HOUSE in Castlerea, plus the map as to how to find it if the family were due to visit, I know some did after me doing the research.. Also any of the descendants found if Richard was from London after all, I have his parents but over the years can find nothing off him.. or his parents.. I used to help Wilf Beckett, but he died this year, just over 100 years young, we did find Louisa Fairbrother and who she married, was Richard off this line?  NZ Womans Weekly did an article years ago about it... I also found a copy of Richard and Winifred Marriage Certificate.
Compliments of the Season, its Christmas Day in Carterton NZ. where Richard was the First Mayor. I am the early settlers researcher at the Cemetery here!!!

Carry on hunting... most enjoyable pastime!

Richard and Winifred came over to NZ mid 1850s, so sadly not her...  story had it that she climbed out of the window, knotted sheets to get to Richard to get married.  We never found if he was from London, as story said he was, searched high and low for his records with no luck.. from memory they married in 1846, as she followed him and lived in the Barracks looking after his uniform. thanks..
