New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: "Gregg's Green Island Hotel" Dunedin
« on: Thursday 27 November 08 00:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, thankyou all for your responses... I have never seen the RAOGK website before.

I was in Dunedin about 3 years ago and managed to visit both Hopkins library and Settlers museum - didn't really find too much apart from one photo that could possibly be the hotel and a book that lists many of the early gold rush publicans.

I might try them again, you never know!  :)

New Zealand Completed Requests / "Gregg's Green Island Hotel" Dunedin
« on: Monday 24 November 08 09:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,

Seeking more information about "Greggs Green Island Hotel" and Kyneton Restaraunt (Caversham) C 1865 in Dunedin.

All I know is that the owners were Henry Gregg 1864-65. While an Eliza Gregg ran the Shepherd's Arms at the same time.

I would particulary like images or photo's of these buildings/owners - and any info on them.

My connection is a sad one, in that my GGG Grandfather, James Potter committed suicide via overdose of laudanum in the Green Island hotel in 1865. James was a publican himself (keeper of Kyneton restaraunt). He opened the Styx hotel with wife Helen, in 1851 on the Central Otago gold rush trail...

I believe James' descendants kept in contact with the Greggs, and paticularly with "Jack Gregg" and family who moved to Christchurch in the early 1900's. We have many old postcards that refer to the Greggs.

Thanks so much for that DelBoy...You have saved me some work!  ;D

In the library today I found reference to William Grey Nicholls in the Dictionary of Biography C1960...Under the name Wiremu Kerei Nikora.

It mentions that  his father, William Nicholls Sen, arrived on the Aurora C1840 and married the sister of the Chief of Ngaiterangi Tribe...Am wondering about the name of this Chief.

Hi Mark

Thanks for that... The only information I have was found from the LDS website.
It was only on the off chance that i read the "Native Agent" story that I realised who Charles and Alice Nicholls were!

Will have to start ordering some certificates i think, but will make an appeal for them first, in case anyone is willing to share  :)

Cheers
