New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Families of Waimamaku and further afield.
« on: Wednesday 11 May 16 06:44 BST (UK)  »
I would be happy to post it to you, as it is one of the many that I don't want to keep. It is a postcard picture of a man with a large moustache and a high collar - a real postcard, as it was posted from George Whitefield to my grandmother. It reads "Dear May, Joe is going with the launch to Opononi on Sunday to meet Miss White. It would be a good chance for you to get up if you care to come. Ruth and I would be very pleased to have you as long as you like to stay."
It isn't dated, and has no stamp, so must have been sent in an envelope.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Families of Waimamaku and further afield.

I have been sorting through the photos of my late grandmother, who died in 1978. She had many pictures of families from the Waimamaku district in the Hokianga: names TILLS, ZANK, PARLANE, LETTS, FELL, WHITEFIELD.
Others in the collection, not necessarily from the north are: JONES, Tuakau; McMURTRIE - Marjorie, Dorothy, Lexie; McCORMICK Nell, Bill, Elstow; DUNCAN - May and family, Christchurch; PHILLIPS - G. A., Women's Institute; FLOWERDAY - Charlie (in army uniform); WOOLANS - Mrs Dave, Tauranga; no surname, but twins FLORENCE and FANNY; HARDEN, Mr and Mrs (wedding photo approx. 1910-1914); BROWN, Mrs and Brenda; SANDS - Mr and Mrs and family, Remuera; GREY - Lily, Robert, Margaret, Isobel, Mr and Mrs, near Cambridge; also a picture of the Grey family home between Leamington and Pukerimu.
I haven't yet been able to scan them all, but would be happy to do so on request. I would hate to have to get rid of them if there's anyone who would like any of them.
