The tree, PECK of Taita, contains many early settler families of New Zealand. Started in 2008 as a Family Tree of Samuel PECK, it now contains thousands of people who are not at all related to him, but are still connected (in varying degrees) through generations of marriages. The site has therefore been changed to a 'Genealogy Help Site' for those researching 'Kiwis' in all NZ districts

In 1912 they moved their family into a cottage on the College grounds, near the riverbank. the Caretaker of Christ's College, Christchurch. While he was at College he did everything from filling up coal buckets and keeping fires going in the classrooms, growing flowers, tending to his horses, helping to build snowmen, building a bonfire when the news of the relief of Ladysmith reached Christchurch and making tea for the Corsair Bay picnics. He also mowed the football and cricket grounds. Indeed all of the known photographs of William Vagg show him tackling grass in one form or another. Annie Vagg died in 1917 and William Vagg died in Nov 1918 as a result of the flu pandemic (while 458 people, or 4.9% of the Christchurch population died, Christ’s College had only one death, that of William Vagg the caretaker). His obituary in the Christ’s College Register of Dec 1918 suggests that he survived the first bout, but succumbed when he contracted it for the second time. He and Annie are buried in the Linwood Cemetery. In 1919 the Christ’s College Old Boys’ Association, with the permission of the Board ensured his permanent memorial in the place he worked for thirty-two years.
