Following on from Suzi's inquiry in Charles Henry and Georgina. They had 3 sons possibly while living in Shannon. It appears Charles disappeared in 1929 most likely due to both his parent passing within 5 days of each other. There was a notice posted in NSW Police Gazette looking for him and Auckland was his last known address. So he appears to have remained in Sydney and Georgina was left with the 3 boys.
She was living in Auckland and died in 1980
All the boys have now passed but there may be a few descendants. Georgina had 3 brothers and 4 sisters. She was the last to go.
Cheers

Hello

Georgina came from a very large family, she is one of ten sisters and four brothers...so hopefully we have the right Georgina?
Georgina is the daughter of James Milne Lyall and Mary White. Born 1894 in Pigeon Bay
I have her marrying Charles Henry Boyle in 1920, and the couple had three son's and one daughter.
Does this tie in with what you have at all?

Hi Sorry for delay but I can confirm it is the same Georgina. I did not know about the daughter but will do some further research. I was given the following information Georgina Lyall (Charlie boyle's wife) was the granddaughter of Pirauau (Sarah) wife of Captain Thomas White - an American Whaler, who settled at Pigeon Bay, Akaroa. They were married by Bishop Pompallier in 1846.
'Piraurau had a son previously to John Miller who lived at Purakanui Pa. (Purakanui was where my Foote ancestors started their lives in NZ in the 1860's-1880, and we all visited the Homstead in Jan. 2014 as part of the Foote Reunion ) The Millers married several McLaughlans in the district and were closely involved with the Foote Family of my father.' (these notes from my previous genealogy programme)

Oh thanks for that info on the Millars, My 4th cousin comes from the Lyall, White and Piraurau families, I wonder if she knew about a child being born to John Millar?
It is said Thomas White was the first white man to marry into a Maori family in NZ, not too certain if this is correct?

Just spoke to my cousin and yes she has all the info on John Millar aka Tiake Mira and how his mother was won as a prize.

Hi Suzy,
I would be very interested in gaining the information about Piraurau and John Millar. My husband whakapapas back to Piraurau and Tom white. I have information about them after the settlement in pigeon bay as well as a couple of photographs if anyone is interested.

My cousin descends from Thomas White and Sarah Piraurau, her gg grandfather James Milne Lyall (brother of my gg grandfather) married their daughter Mary Piraurau.  she lives in Melbourne.
You might already be in contact with her D.W.  If not I can pass on your info.

Hi Suzy,
Thanks for that, we visited the graves at pigeon bay on the weekend. I would be grateful if you could pass my details to your cousin. Am new to this site so am a bit unsure what contact information is available on you? Would my email address be ok?

[Suzy W]

I will send a personal message to you.
