New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: KAINA family Waipipi/Waiuku area
« on: Saturday 11 November 17 20:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

I've been researching the Hanlon/Kaina part of my family tree. Ann Aylward (1900-1996) was the daughter of Matilda Waddoups, sister of my great grandmother Mary Elizabeth Waddoups.  Mary's first husband was Frederick Kaina, and after he died, she married Lawrence Hanlon.

I'd be grateful for any information on the sale of Frederick Kaina's farm (known as Kaina's Corner) by John Waddoups to his son-in-law Thomas Aylward and his wife Matilda Waddoups. The farm was at the crossroads of Craig Rd and Oldfield Rd, Waipipi.  Apparently there was a dispute over the farm after John Waddoups died, as Matilda's other sisters (Mary, Harriett, Georgina) weren't mentioned in the will.  According to one of Harriett's descendants, one of the Hanlons took it to court for the other sisters.  I don't intend to re-litigate on behalf of the Hanlons but am just interested in all of this as family history!  I can't find any mention of this court case in Papers Past or elsewhere, so maybe it never happened.

I'd also be interested in any birth info on Matilda and Mary. On 9 July 1858 John Waddoups, Ann Halford, and their daughter Harriet sailed from Liverpool to Cape Town on the Edward Oliver, arrived Table Bay CapeTown 12 September 1858.  On 27 September 1864 John, Ann, and their children Harriet, Mary Elizabeth and Matilda sailed from Cape Town on the Alfred, and arrived in Auckland 18/11/1864.  Mary and Matilda's death certificates stated they were both born in South Africa.  However, I've searched South African websites and been unable to find their birth certificates - just wondering if anyone has these or any other info on this?

Finally I'd be interested to know what what happened to the youngest sister Georgina Waddoups (born in Waipipi in 1867).  Apparently there's a record of her having a baby under her maiden name, no father's name was on the cert.   The family story was that she went to Australia.
 
many thanks
