Hi shanreagh

.. yes I'd considered Jeanne (the d/o Margaretta (Madge) and Adam) but she was born in 1914 so was a mere 10 years old when the notice was placed in 1924 ?   Well, someone may have done it on her behalf ... that could account perhaps too for the mis-spelling of her name ??   Who knows ?

Barbara ...

"Madge" is a diminutive ("pet name") for the christian name Margaretta (also for Margaret / Madeline / Magdalene etc.)

As you already know, when she wed, your Margaretta used her formal christian name.

However on her two appearances on electoral rolls she used the less-formal version, "Madge".
And clearly it was the name she was commonly known as, as her death registration and burial record both bear the name "Madge".

It mentions an enquiry into the death of Wiremu Rehari who was shot by a Robert Darrah. The wife of Wiremu Rehari took the stand and said that her name was Lavinia Rehari and that she had been married to Wiremu Rehari for two years. it was known that Wiremu Rehari was also known around the district as Wi Taitua (Taitua was the name of a local chief) but his correct name was Rehari.

Presumably the two children of this marriage were David and Madge/Margaret/Margaretta/Makareta? 

Lavinia later married Mr Fairburn and had George Edward Fairburn who died in 1922 and Lavina Kate who died aged 10months i

David and Margaret/Margaretta/Makareta I think were the son and daughter of Lavinia Hamilton Rehari later Fairburn, and Wiremu Rehari who was killed by Robert Darrah.

I am looking for the birth & death of David who OP believes also died young.  Sad for the family.

Looks as though Lavinia Hamilton Rehari Fairburn may have died in childbirth?  And the baby lavinia Kate Fairburn 10months later. So she did not look after the two girls, her grandchildren  Jean Harold Walter and Muriel Walter after their own mother (Margaretta ) died in 1925.

Hi shanreagh   ... please see earlier posts where much of  this has already been covered.   

The OP has already mentioned she now thinks she got it wrong and that  "David" was the father of William REHARI [sp.] rather than the brother being David.
She'd said initially that David (brother) was younger than Margaretta (Madge) by some 6 or so years.  It can't have been the case that she had a (younger) brother who shared the same father (as I've already pointed out) as William REHARI had died when Margaretta was a mere babe.

Yes I can see that all of that is possible...
So are the two very close births of children to Wiremu and Lavinia Rehari especially if she was expecting when they married in 1893 and was carrying when he died.  I have not yet found either of the births of Margaret or David ...not sure if they have been put up on this thread, sorry I may have missed them.  Could you let me have the post number...sorry to not seen them.

So we proceed on assumption that the parents of Wiremu Rehari were David X and Makareta X possibly who whakapapa back to Kaeo?
