Thank You barbiedoll, for your info. I actually have quite some info re family as mum[Ethel] had a lot to do with Aunts etc. And I remember Aunt Louisa quite well. This is the Limpus family I am talking of. Really trying to find other Limpus family members.

Hello NgaiNgai
The Cyclopedia of New Zealand has Charles Limpus as being born in Liverpool 1831 and arriving in Auckland, via Melbourne,in 1857. He married Maria Burgess in 1854. They farmed at Patangata, Waipawa, Hawkes Bay. A Journal of LIMPUS marriages has been published in Family Tree Circles by Ngairedith.
