Thames/Auckland area DAVID /MAKARETA -REHIAI aka REHARI

[shanreagh]

Presumably/hopefully you know that Makareta is the Maori transliterated version of the first name Margaret/ta.  it is likely that the refs to a Makareta are either to Margaretta or to a descendant of hers. 

Rehari sounds more 'correct than Rehiai but then care is needed too as the name David is transliterated as Rawiri.

The Walters name is interesting...back in the 1970s..there was a popular NZ singer called Bunny Walters and he was born in Katikati in 1953. (Bunny Te Kokiri Miha Waahi Walters)

Hi Barbara

At the following site you can find much information about the wider family of Margaretta (i.e. her mother, Lavinia / Lavinia's mother,  Mary Ann (Annie) and father, Harvey HAMILTON, etc.etc.)  Just keep clicking on all the links provided.  It looks to be very well researched and contains some personal stories.

I found the above after I'd located the death of the young George Edward FAIRBURN (d. 1922) and I see an In Memoriam notice reference, is added at the site - which I'd missed finding in the newspapers.  Re-checking papers I see there was another in 1923 from "loving sister, Maria".

*  Any idea who the "sister, Jean" is  ??   There doesn't seem to be a Jean (or variant of that name)
born into the FAIRBURN family ?  Sister, Maria Jane ... ?  but then she used the Name "Maria" in the 1923 notice ??

Barbara .. some of what I was about to add has now been covered in part by shanreagh.

From this link by using the "deceased name search" facility, you can find the burial for Madge WALTERS - 6 February 1925 ... and for Harvey HAMILTON (her grandfather) - buried 15 January 1874. [Note:  There is a discrepancy in age for Harvey HAMILTON, from burial record and death registration (NZBDM) ]

May have been Jean/Jeanne sister of Makareta/Margaretta? So his step aunt but the two little girls may have been brought up partly by their grandmother Lavinia who had her own little boy George Edward Fairburn. Close in age so may have been brought up as siblings?

1912/5868   Margaretta   Rehiai   Adam   Walters   (her own marriage)

Births to Makareta and Adam

1912/17819   Walters    Muriel Madge    Margaretta    Adam
1914/15687   Walters    Jean Harold    Margaretta    Adam

Just to clarify, the Makaretawho has been added above, is not the same person referred to earlier (- as in "David and Makareta" who the the OP says may be the parents of William / Wiremu REHARI or Rehiai.
