Vet Ltn George Henderson
« on: Wednesday 20 December 17 06:44 GMT (UK) »
Veterinary Lieutenant George Henderson - returned from the Boer War on the SS Orient1902
At the same time Mrs F Henderson -""Wife" arrived on the SS Wakanui from Capetown

She telegrammed the army asking where he was .

The Army advertised looking for the whereabouts of George ?

Any clues as to what happened to Mrs F Henderson ?

George later married Elizabeth Shore 1904

No - no other info than she arrived in NZ looking for George - from Capetown

George enlisted with the North Island troopers 
 on enlistment was working in for Maungakaramea dairy company Northland and went to South Africa with the 4th Contingent as a farrier  - then stayed on with the 7th and 9th contingents promoted to Veterinary Lieutenant

His home - and family (Mother)were in Allantown Taieri Otago

This man has the Mangakaramea connection

But no mention of a wife looking for him

Cheers Janette

Correction: images 11 and 12 are the telegrams but it just says Mrs Henderson c/o Wakanui
