'Dingley Dell' was originally the headquarters for Every Maclean's Maungatautari operations. After purchasing this block in 1874 Maclean bought up Military sections and established 'Dingley Dell' in 1877. The name came from a popular Dickens novel and was given by Maclean.

The second, a large villa-styled home, was burnt the night of the Hunt Ball in the winter of 1926. The present house was constructed of roughcast concrete by Speight Pearce Nicoll & Davys along the typical lines of architect James T Douce.
Sport has played a big part in the Vosper family and 'Dingley Dell' has seen a rifle range, dog trials and polo. At one time there was a separate room which housed a marble king-size billiard table.

John came to Cambridge with the 3rd Waikato Militia in 1864 and, as a Major, received 400 farm acres and 2 town acres. He is also noted in 1872 on a farm map drawn by Charles Chitty in a report on the district to the Armed Constabulary Commissioner's Office.
On 27 February 1872 he came into possession of two acres (lots 35 and 36) in Wilson Street. Lots 37 and 39 were obtained in 1879. At first a house with adobe and limestone walls was built. Then a villa, 'Waterside' was built overlooking the Waikato River.
The gardens around the home were highly cultivated with flowers and ornamental shrubs. There was a flower strewn drive from the homestead to the stables and everywhere there were violets and other flowers. An orchard, nut trees and exotics were all planted and in 1880-81 a very ornate conservatory was built. (This can still be seen on the corner of Victoria Road and King Street.)

His name was on the Incorporation Certificate for the Cambridge Public Library in 1879 and he was a Justice of the Peace at the Cambridge Magistrate's Court from 1879 to 1889.

Chief Judge Macdonald, who presided at the Native Land Court in Cambridge, paid a high tribute from the Bench to the character of Te Aorere, testifying to her important services in the past towards the pacification of the country. He then adjourned the court as a mark of respect to her memory. For three days nearly all the shops in Cambridge were partially closed and flags flew at half mast.
Waikato Times 10 March 1883 ? "It is with great regret that we have to chronicle the death of Mrs John Wilson of Cambridge who expired on Thursday morning, after an illness of some two or three months. Ill-health first overtook Mrs Wilson about three months ago in the form of fits of ague, but it was soon seen that these were but premonitory symptoms of a general breakup of the system. Dr Waddington who was in constant attendance, advised a radical change of climate, and Major Wilson went with the deceased lady on a tour through the South Island, accompanied by her medical adviser. It became apparent that the heart was seriously affected, and dropsy subsequently supervening death rapidly came to the relief of the sufferer. The deceased lady was universally respected throughout the district. Her exertions in the cause of the Ladies Benevolent Society and the church, of which she was an active member, will be long remembered and appreciated. We are requested to state that the remains will not be taken to the church, but direct to the cemetery."
Waikato Times 13 March 1883 ? "The remains of the late Mrs John Wilson were interred in the Cambridge cemetery on Sunday. The funeral was the largest ever seen in this district. The cortege included more than fifty vehicles, a hundred horsemen and a large number of people on foot, and was significant of the high esteem in which the deceased lady and Major Wilson were held by the whole community. Almost every district in Waikato was represented. The service at the grave was impressively said by the Ven Archdeacon Willis, assisted by the Rev. Mr Pomare, Maori Minister."
Te Ngakau, chief of Kawhia and related to Te Aorere, attended adorned in a head-dress of black huia feathers. There was also a large number of Maori women clothed in mourning and wearing green leaves. Over two hundred Ngatiruanui Maori left Taranaki for Cambridge to hold the customary tangi.
The land, which Te Aorere brought into the marriage was bequeathed in her will to her children.
Major John Wilson then married his children's governess Sophia Gray later in 1883 and they had three more sons.
When John died 24 May 1892 aged 62, the Waikato Times reported, "We regret having to record the death of Major Wilson, of Cambridge, one of our pioneer settlers. In 1863 (sic) he brought a company of the 3rd Waikato regiment up to Pukekura, and after they were disbanded at the conclusion of the war, he turned his attention to the Native Land business, in which he was very successful, but he subsequently unfortunately lost ?28,000 in Patatere lands. No man ever acted with greater fairness to the Natives than Major Wilson. He was integrity itself, and his word was his bond. He passed away about noon on Thursday, an affection of the liver being the cause of his death.
"Major Wilson came to the colony in 1840, landing in Wellington in February of that year. In 1867 he became a Justice of the Peace - a position he held for 22 years, after which he resigned. In 1881 he was elected a Fellow of the Institute, and in 1885 a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Deceased leaves a widow and eight children to mourn their loss. He was a man of strict integrity, a kind and indulgente parent, and one whose decease will be greatly regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances, not only in Waikato but throughout New Zealand."

WILSON, Thomas
Thomas was born in Fulford near York in 1846 and became an Ensign in the 40th Regiment of Foot in Canterbury, England.
In 1859 in New Zealand he joined the Auckland Volunteer Rifles and in April of the next year he was appointed Captain in the Auckland Regiment of New Zealand Militia. He applied for a position in the Colonial Armed forces and enlisted in the 3rd Waikato Regiment on 19 October 1863.
He became a Major and was stationed first at Raglan and then Cambridge.
He married a widow, Mrs Caroline J C Barton, and brought his wife and family to Cambridge in September 1864 as General Galloway "wished to see men getting their families there and he thought the example would have a good effect".
He was told he could put his home where he liked so in September 1864 he put up a whare, fenced, drained and planted trees at considerable expense. After the survey his 'piece' was made a reserve and he was allotted the acre next door - much to his annoyance.
Thomas died about 1883.

Residents OLD GORGE cemetery, Woodville, Manawatu

by ngairedith 12 years, 11 months ago

WOODVILLE, once known as The Junction, is a small town in the southern North Island of New Zealand, 75km north of Masterton and 25km east of Palmerston North. Once a timber milling town in the 'Seventy Mile Bush' which extended along the eastern side of the Tararua and Ruahine Ranges. As farmland was settled and cleared, a number of small dairy factories were established to process the supply of milk for consumption as milk, cheese or other dairy products. As recently as the mid-1980s the dairy factory at the western end of Woodville, on State Highway 2 heading towards the Manawatu Gorge, operated a cheese processing line and a 'factory shop' selling dairy produce direct to the public. A thriving sheep and beef economy at one stage supported a number of local trucking firms and carriers, among them Gunn Transport and Hawkes Bay Farmers Transport, both of which were based at the now-derelict site at the corner of State Highway 2 & Vogel Street and the Wairarapa bypass. These business were only economic in the pre-deregulated transport industry that existed prior to the Rogernomics reforms of the Lange Labour Government elected in 1984. With the lifting of distance restrictions (vehicles over a certain weight were at one stage restricted to travelling only 150km from their geographic base) Woodville's role as a transport hub quickly fell away. In the 2006 census 1,398 people were resident in Woodville. In June 2023 the number was 1,680.

The following description of Woodville was written c1900
Woodville is situated 95 miles from Napier and 105 miles from Wellington on the main line of railway and is 3 miles distant from the Manawatu Gorge.

volunteered: for the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in June 1915. Served with the battalion throughout 1916 and 1917, and the following year had reached the rank of sergeant. He was 29 years old when he performed the deed for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross. On 1 Sep 1918 near Bancourt, the leading waves of the battalion on reaching a crest of high ground, found that a line of enemy machine-gun posts offered a serious obstacle to further advance. The company, however, advanced against these posts under point-blank fire and when about 18m away Grant, closely followed by a comrade, rushed ahead of his platoon, entering the centre post and demoralising the garrison so that the platoon were able to mop up the positions. In the same manner he rushed the post on the left and the remaining posts were quickly occupied and cleared by his company.
Shortly afterwards he was promoted to second lieutenant and traveled to Cambridge in England for officer training in October 1918. He was wounded in November, within days of his return to the front. His service with the NZEF ended with his repatriation to New Zealand in 1919

Reuben PARR + Maria GREAVES - Cambridge, Waikato

by ngairedith 12 years, 10 months ago

Reuben PARR
Reuben was aged 25 and a farmer when he joined the Duke of Cambridge Lodge on 26 November 1870. He was married to Maria and they had seven children. A son (the second white child born in the district) was to became Sir James Parr K.C.M.G. who later told that often in the early [eighteen] seventies the farmers of Pukerimu rushed their wives and families, in the middle of the night, to a central redoubt at Comrie's farm, and there they stood guard, carbine in hand, all through the night, against possible raids.
Reuben was a member of the St Andrews Anglican vestry in 1871, enrolled with the Cambridge Cavalry Volunteers as a trumpeter in 1872, a member of the Farmers' Club in 1875 and on the committee of the Pukerimu School in 1877. In 1877 he also became a member of the Cambridge & Waikato Reed Band.
By 1881 Reuben was in Te Aroha being a Director of the Te Aroha Quartz Crushing Battery Company and clerk of the Course at the Te Aroha Race Meeting

more on Reuben & Maria ...

Reuben Parr emigrated to New Zealand on the "Canterbury" which left Gravesend on 21 September 1863, arriving into Lyttelton on 10 January 1864

Maria was apparently born in Tipperary, Ireland in 1837 as Maria McGREEVEY. She changed her name to GREAVES and married Reuben in 1868 in Christchurch

their known children were:
(I would like help with these children please)

1869 - 1941 Chirstopher James Parr Lawyer, mayor, politician, diplomat
- later known as Sir James Parr
- James married Barbara Mary WHITWORTH in 1938 in a quiet celebration at the Cambridge registrar's office

1875 - John Parr

1877 - Reuben Parr

1879 - William Parr

1880 - Eliza Parr
- in the Waikato TImes 18 Nov 1880 ... At Nguturuanga, Waitoa, on 9th November, the wife of Reuben Parr of a daughter

NOTES

1877
In the WAIKATO TIMES
LICENSING COURT - The application of Reuben Parr, for a transfer of the Criterion Hotel to Edward Hewitt, was also granted

1879
From the EVENING POST 3 March ... John ALMEN was arrested on a charge of forging and uttering a chegue puporting to be sign by Reuben Parr, of Cambridge

1880
From the THAMES STAR 16 December ... By a telegram in anouther column it is stated that the Government have intimated to Tukukino that they are determined to form the road through the Komata Block. We sincerely trust the report is correct, as the need for this road is now far more generally felt thatn before the opening of the Te aroha goldfield. We are afraid that such is not the case as the Hon. F. Whitaker declined to decide the matter himself, and Mr Bryce, the Native Minister has not yet arrived in Auckland. We understand that should the Government not proceed at once with the formation of the road, Mr Reuben Parr and a numer of Waitoa settlers intend to carry it through, Subscriptions are being raised by them for the purpose

1880
From the THAMES STAR 4 November ... TE AROHA, Tuesday. On Monday night a meeting of the Waitoa Prospecting Association was held at the Hot Springs Hotel (O'Halloran's) and there was a good attendance, principally of Waitoa settlers. Mr Reuben Parr was appointed Chairman ... more

1884
From the Te AROHA NEWS 25 October ... A well attended metting of settler was held at Moffat's Hotel, Waitoa, on Saturday last, to take measures or the establishment of a cheese factory ... the undersigned gentlemen guaranteed to supply milk daily to the said factory

1925
the Death Notice of Reuben Parr 29 December 1925 states:
... Mr Reuben Parr, father of Sir James Parr, died at Waihou last night, after a prolonged illness (states a Press Associtaion message from Hamilton). He came to the Waikato in 1865, and first settled in the Cambridge district. Subsequently he removed to Waihou, where he lived for nearly half a century.

CHARGE OF WOUNDING A COW
James Patterson was charged with shooting at and wounding a cow, the property of one Reuben Short, with a shot gun, on the 30th July last. Mr. E. Shaw appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Gully for the defence. The evidence of Reuben Short, dairyman, of Ohiro, went to show that the defendant, who resided at Vogeltown, had complained of witness`s cows trespassing on his property, and had threatened to shoot them. On the evening of the 30th July he saw one of his cows was suffering pain, and he sent for a neighbour, whom he saw extract 14 pellets of lead out of the animal`s shoulder and neck. At this stage the information was withdrawn at the request of the complainant, who did not desire to jeopardise the defendant`s liberty on a charge of felony.

LABOUR DAY - SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION IN WELLINGTON ... but interest in this exhibit was eclipsed by the Union`s display (arranged by Mr. A. Orr) recalling the days of long ago in the presence of a bullock team of eight cattle drawing a dray. The team, which came from Mr. Fitchett`s farm, was driven by Mr. Reuben Short, who, it is interesting to learn, drove bullock teams from Wellington into the backblocks 50 years ago...

OLD IDENTITIES - GOLDEN WEDDING
A golden wedding is not an event of frequent occurrence, and therefore of more than passing interest, particularly so when representatives of four generations are present at the gatering. Such an event - a family reunion - took place in the Masonic Hall, Berthampore, last evening, in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Short`s golden wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Short are now residing at Palmerston North, but were for forty-three years residents of Brooklyn. They are still enjoying the best of health, although both are over the age of eighty (Mrs. Short being eighty-three and her husband eighty-one). They are among our earliest pioneers, when our city was in its infancy.
Mrs. Short (nee Mary Ann Southy sic) arrived in Wellington on the 17th March, 1841, in the Lady Nugent, and Mr. Short in the Big London a year later.
Life in the old pioneer days was not all sunshine, and, though they shared the hardships which were the common lot of the sturdy pioneer, the old couple are hale and hearty. Mrs. Short was married in 1855 to Richard Clifton, at the Taita, Lower Hutt, where Mr. Clifton met his death about five years later by the fall of a tree at the time of the big flood at the Hutt. There were two daughters and a son by this marriage - Mrs. G. Key, Tasman-street, Wellington, Mrs. A. Rice, Happy Valley, and Mr. S. Clifton, Waikanae.
In 1862, at Lower Hutt, Mrs. Clifton married Mr. Reuben Short, eldest son of the late Mr. James Short, of Happy Valley. By this marriage there were two daughters and one son (deceased). Mrs. J. Tremain, of Palmerston North, and Mrs. C. Rasmussen, of Brooklyn. Except for a few years on the Ballarat diggings, Mr. Short spent the best part of his life in this city. He was a prominent figure in Wellington`s first Labour Day demonstration, being in charge of a team of bullocks. Earlier still he was a dairy farmer at Ohiro.
Mrs. Short was born in Berkshire, England, and was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. John Southy, of Lower Hutt. Mr. Short`s native place was Wiltshire.
Besides being in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Short`s golden wedding, the reunion was also in celebration of the thirty-ninth anniversary of Mr. G. Key`s wedding with Mr. Short`s eldest daughter. In all, there are sixty-six descendants of Mrs. Short surviving, there being four daughters, one son, twenty-nine grandchildren, and, with the exception of three or four, all were present last evening, the youngest in the gathering being three weeks old.
On behalf of the grandchildren, Mr. T. R. Key, the eldest grandchild, (Thomas Richard Key 1875-1963, then aged 37) presented Mrs. Short with a purse of sovereigns. During the evening musical items were given, and, with dances and games, a very pleasant time was spent.

From the EVENING POST - 12 July 1922
Another old colonist, Mr. Reuben Short, of Roy-street, Palmerston North, has passed away. Mr Short, who was 94 years of age, arrived in the Dominion in the ship London in 1842. He lived in Wellington, and worked here for many years, being the last man to regularly drive a team of bullocks through the streets. The late Mr. Short had resided in Palmerston North for the last twenty years, and for some thirty eight years had been a member of the Salavation Army. He leaves a widow and three daughters, Mrs. Key, Wellington, Mrs. Rasmussen, Brooklyn, Mrs. Tremain, of Feilding, and one son, Mr. Clifton, of Waikanae (read Mary Ann`s notes re this son)

Rev Charles John ABRAHAM - Bishop of Wellington (1814-1903)

by ngairedith 12 years, 9 months ago

The Right Reverand Charles John Abraham DD (1814?1903) was the inaugural Bishop of Wellington

Born in 1814, the son of the late Captain Abraham, R.N., of Farnborough, Hants, he was educated at Eton and King?s College, Cambridge and was later a Fellow.

He was admitted to the degree of B.A. in 1837, M.A. in 1840, B.D. in 1849, and received the degree of D.D. in 1859. He was ordained deacon in 1838 and priest in the following year. He was Assistant Master at Eton until 1850, when he went out to New Zealand to become Master of the English department of St. John's College, Auckland.[3]

In 1853 he was appointed Archdeacon of Waitemata by George Augustus SELWYN, (1809-1878) Bishop of New Zealand.
The Bishop had for two or three years been offering to members of the Church of England a Church Constitution, whereby they were to govern themselves; and during the two years which followed, while absent in England, he left Archdeacon Abraham to propagate and expound the principles of the Church Constitution.

In 1857 a convention of representative churchmen from all parts of the colony was held in Auckland, which resulted in the framing of the Constitution now in force. In the following year Archdeacon Abraham, who had also been acting as chaplain to the Bishop, was consecrated first Bishop of Wellington by the John SUMNER, Archbishop of Canterbury and Bishops (WILBERFORCE) of Oxford and (LONSDALE) of Lichfield. When the Maori war broke out by reason of the purchase by the Government of the Waitara block, Bishop Abraham presented a protest to the Governor, claiming for the Maori as British subjects the right to be heard in the Supreme Court.

In 1870 he resigned his see, and, returning to England, was made coadjutor bishopto Dr. Selwyn, then Bishop of Lichfield.
This office he held until the death of Bishop Selwyn, in 1878. From 1872 to 1876 he was Prebendary of Bobenhall in Lichfield Cathedral, and in 1875-6 was rector of Tattenhill, Staffordshire. Since 1876 he has been Canon and Precentor of Lichfield Cathedral.

He married in 1850 Caroline Harriet, daughter of Sir Charles Thomas PALMER, Bart., of Wanlip Hall, Leicestershire, and cousin of the wife of Bishop Selwyn. She died in 1877.

Bishop Abraham is the author of "Festival and Lenten Lectures in St. George's Chapel, Windsor," 1848-9 (Parker), and other works.

He died on 4 February 1903. His son Charles ABRAHAM (1857-1945) and grandson Philip Selwyn ABRAHAM (1897-1955) were also bishops.
