Helen have you considered also a querry to "Toitu Otago Settlers Museum" They have a large collection of facts and images and if they can't help I'm certain they will know of someone locally who can.

Beg, don't worry about it. I'm still trying to figure out where this "Auckland" place is that we ceaselessly hear so much about.

I've looked through the digitised electoral rolls on ancestry. The name Lorraway does not make an appearance until 1969 and even then in Auckland. Le Ruez and Rouet are absent.

Beg the relationship between Timaru and Waimate is the other way around, Waimate is a town in the Timaru district. There is however a settlement named Waimate (North) in Northland but given the passenger list is a Canterbury one I suspect that could be discounted. In addition i searched the on line cemetery database for the Waimate DC. There were no Lorraways or anything even close. Same result when i checked by date or just christian names. Nothing.

Yes, Owaka is indeed a town within the Catlins area which straddles the border between Otago and Southland where it meets the southern coast.

If you know the parents' names then their death notices in the newspapers mostly list their children and sometimes grand children. Children are sometimes even noted on headstones.

Well I am from Ravensbourne so I know the steeper parts of Signal Hill very well. Once a year Ravensbourne RFC bused down to Milton to play a pre season game against Toko. But all that was a long time ago.
