Jabez FOSTER & Sarah Ann PENNEY - New Zealand
I would like to know in which town of New Zealand Jabez FOSTER lived. His father was Stovin Foster and his mother was Ann Darnell. Stovin and his family (4 of their then 5 children at the time) emigrated to New Zealand from Liverpool on the 'Phoenix' arriving in Auckland on the 7 Feb 1860. Their eldest child, Jabez, who was then 12 stayed behind to finish school and arrived in New Zealand 7 years later at the age of 19.
From Auckland they moved to Doubtless Bay in the far north (which extends from Taupo Bay in the east, to the Karikari Peninsula in the west. It also includes the settlements of Hihi, Coopers Beach, Cable Bay, Taipa and Whatuwhiwhi, with its centre in busy, historic Mangonui) - this would have been an enormous journey back then, a distance from Auckland of about 300km. They were ferried some of the way in small boats up the Oruati River, a generally north flowing river that drains into Mangonui Harbour at the southern end of Doubtless Bay.
Three of their children died young and are buried in the orchard at Foster Family Farm Cemetery Goshen, Oruaiti, Mangonui, where Stovin and Ann were also buried (Stovin died 4 years and 1 week before Ann)
Jabez Foster married Sarah Ann Penney when he was 23 and they had 15 (known) children
* 3 of his children married MARIA siblings (2 daughters marrying William Henry Maria)
* 3 of his children married PEPI siblings
* 3 of his children married THOMAS siblings
* 3 of his children married GARTON siblings AND another Garton sibling married his brother Stovin`s son
settlers of WELLSFORD New Zealand
In October 1862 the vessels HANOVER and MATILDA WATTENBACH arrived in Auckland with the first settlers from England. A number of these settlers established themselves at Port Albert, on the Kaipara Coast. They called themselves the Albertlanders, after Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's consort. They were a "breakaway group from the Anglican Church looking for a new world".
However, not many of the settlers arrived at Port Albert and the ones who did found it difficult to make a living. The majority of the Albertlanders moved inland to more fertile areas in the region.
As a result, Wellsford was founded
... According to local tradition the origin of the name Wellsford is believed to be an acronym based on the surnames of the first families who settled in the region.
These names were:
WATSON, WHITE & WORKER
EDGER - the Reverend Samuel Edger
LESTER
LEVET
STEWART, SCOTT, STARK & SIMPSON
FOSTER
OLDFIELD
RAMSBOTTOM, RUSHBROOK & RISHWORTH
DIBBLE
The LESTER FAMILY tree is tracing the ancestors and descendenets of Charles Bertram LESTER, born in Albertland in 1867, 8km west of WELLSFORD, north Auckland, a son of Robert & Augusta Lester (would like help with this branch please)
It is tracing the ancestors and descendents of Sir William Houston STEWART (1822-1901) a British naval officer who was Controller of the Royal Navy from 1872 to 1881, a son of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Houston Stewart (1791-1875). William Houston Stewart is sometimes referred to as William Houston Shaw-Stewart; his paternal grandfather was Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart, 6th Baronet (1766-1825)
- this line has traced back to Robert the Bruce
It is also tracing the ancestors and descendents of an early Australian convict, 18 year old Andrew Snowden, who was transported to NSW in 1791 to serve a 7 year sentence for stealing teaspoons. His son Henry John Davis ("Rewiti") Snowden was to move to New Zealand and marry (as his 2nd wife) a daughter of the Maori chief of Whangaroa, Te Ururoa.
Three of Henrys sister-in-law Reta FLAVELL (nee Ururoa)'s children married 3 of his children ...
children of Chief Te Ururoa of Whangaroa
Chief Te Ururoa was a Maori chief of Whangaroa and brother-in-law of Hongi Hika, a New Zealand Maori rangatira (chief) and war leader of the Ngapuhi iwi (tribe)
He 'married' Patungahere (would like to know what year)
the known children I have, all born in Pupuke, Northland were:
* Hema Ururoa - married Rangi Puhi
* Heke Ururoa - married Miriama Ngakaikorere
* Paora Ururoa
* Retakino Ururoa (born 1819)
married Thomas Flavell
(3 of their children married 3 children of Henry John Davis `Rewiti` SNOWDEN who was born in Parramatta NSW in 1811 and who married a sister of Retakino, see below)
the known children of Retakino & Thomas Flavell
* 1849 - 1902 Ellen Flavell
- married Andrew Snowden
* 1852 - 1910 John William Flavell
- married Ellen Snowden
* 1857 - 1916 William Flavell
- married Margaret Mary Downes
* 1858 - 1947 Annie Flavell
- married Robert Snowden
Erana `Ellen` Raupane Ururoa (born 1823)
- married Henry John Davis "Rewiti" Snowden in 1858 at Waimate as his 2nd wife, 16 years after the birth of their 1st child, between the births of their 8th and 9th children, daughters Eleanor and Isabella
- they had 9 children
* Henry had been married to Sophia Jaques in about 1833 in Australia and had 5 children, in Prospect, Parramatta Australia and Whangaroa NZ. Their 4th child, Mary Ann Snowden married John Semple in 1860, a son of theirs, Theodore Francis Semple was born in 1861 in Matakana, Wellsford and married Mary Margaret Stirling of Carlton, Victoria in Melbourne. Theodore was an engineer in Perth West Australia, great grandson of the Chief of Whangaroa and buried in the Fremantle Cemetery, Perth in 1905 (his wife Mary died in 1904 in Coburg, Victoria now a suburb of Melbourne)

LIST of VICTIMS - 1931 NAPIER 7.8 earthquake
On Tuesday morning, 3 Feb 1931, at 10.47am the ground in the Hawkes Bay region heaved sharply upward and swayed. A deceptive half-minute pause was followed by a downward motion and violent shaking and rocking - in all, the 7.8 quake spanned two and a half minutes!
The sea floor off the curving sweep of Hawkes Bay was lifted 2.7 metres and large boats were left high and dry as 2200 hectares of tidal flats in Ahuriri Lagoon were raised to sea level
As buildings began to disintegrate many people fled outdoors into a lethal rain of chunks from ornate facades, parapets and cornices. Buildings swayed violently and their walls bulged and collapsed into the streets in avalanches of brick and masonry that crushed vehicles and people. Roofs caved in on buildings that had large open internal areas, such as churches, libraries and theatres. In some buildings the internal floors pulled free of the swaying walls, collapsing inward in a jumble of girders, wood and plaster

* Early List (5th Feb)
In Napier, the recently built Nurses Home collapsed, killing clerical staff and off-duty nurses who were sleeping. In Hastings at least 50 people were in Roach's department store when it collapsed (it is now Westpoint Plaza); 17 died and many were seriously injured. The entire front of the five-storey Grand Hotel in Hastings crumbled into Heretaunga Street, claiming eight lives. Fifteen died at the Park Island Old Mens Home near Taradale, but a 91-year-old man was pulled alive from the rubble three days later.
HAWKES BAY 1931 the site from Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand with their collection of photos, other info and links to other quakes
THE NAPIER EARTHQUAKE of 1931 with photos
Napier 1931 Earthquake another list of names some with notes & bios. Some of the bios below were taken from this site
The official death toll was 256 people who died in the magnitude 7.8
earthquake but there are 258 names on the memorial and this unofficial number is likely to be correct
- 161 in Napier
- 93 in Hastings
- 2 in Wairoa
Many thousands more required medical treatment
I have taken names from a number of different sites on the web (some from links at the above sites) - it seems that every site visited has a different list of names, so I have compiled a list containing all the names found and will, with your help, research and verify and add if required. Explosives were used to make a hole in the cemetery big enough to inter 54 coffins in the first burial service. The aim is to add Plot numbers as they become available
This is not a complete list - and may not ever be ...
The * at the front of a name means they are buried in a mass grave in Hastings and their name is on the memorial.
The memorial area contains the remains of 100 people who perished in the Hawke's Bay Earthquake of 3 February 1931. The tablets on the memorial record the names of 86 of those interred in the mass grave plus the names of 23 others buried elsewhere in the cemetery.

Hamilton J. Wiley was again brought up, charged with lying drunk in the public streets. Fined 20s, in default committed for 48 hours
Wellington Independent, 20 Jan 1866 RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT - DRUNKENNESS. Hamilton J. Wiley, charged with the above offence, was fined 5s
Evening Post, 11 Nov 1875
RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT - ASSAULT
A cross-action for assault between two old men, name Charles Clapham and Hamilton James Wiley created a good deal of amusement. It was complicated by the fact that both parties and all their witnesses but one, were deaf. Mr Buckley appeared for Wiley.
According to Clapham's account, he was collecting his cows, which had strayed on Wiley's land, when the latter rushed at him, seized him by the throat, smacked his face to that extent that it was all the colours of the rainbow and finally kicked him behind.
On this, witness said that if Wiley did that any more he should really be quite angry with him and picked up a stick to defend himself, but he never struck Wiley with it; oh no, not he; he knew himself better.
Wiley's story differed from that of his foe in a most remarkable manner. His view of the affair was that when Clapham was driving away the cows, he (witness) told him not to take away cattle without giving him notice. On this Clapham hit him on the head with a crooked stick and afterwards fetched a big club (produced in Court) and struck him on the back with it. On this he did take Clapham by the collar and clap his ears for him.
Mrs Wiley, who was as deaf as her husband and his enemy, corroborated his statement and flourished the club about in a very striking manner, to illustrate Clapham's iniquities.
On being asked if he had any question to put, the defendant Clapham replied, "It's all false, villainous false!"
An independent witness was called. On his being sworn, the crier (who hitherto had been acting as an interpreter and had become exceedingly hoarse under the vocal exertion required), asked him if he were deaf too, but the witness indignantly responded, "No!" in a stentorian voice, which frightened the whole Court into fits. He entirely confirmed the Wiley's tale. His worship dismissed the charge against Wiley and fined Clapham 10s and costs, with the alternative of 48 hours imprisonment, remarking that probably there would be fewer rows in that neighbourhood if the people were not so singularly deaf and therefore apt to mistake one another's words.
NZ Truth, 3 August 1907 (son)
Ham. Wiley, of Carterton, departed for Logan City, Utah, three months ago, after embracing the Mormon faith. Ham took his family with him, which is a matter that may not bear complete investigation, for, however pleasant polygamy may be, from the point of view of the man, there are some girls who have a natural objection to sharing their husband's affections with another hussy. It must be confessed, however, that Ham's daughter Lizzie doesn't look forward to the future with anything like dread, judging by a letter written by her to a Dalefield resident. The steamer trip appears to have been excellent. The party was accompanied by six elders and four more elders, and a native sister came aboard at Samoa. At Honolulu another contingent joined the steamer, when the Mormon party totalled twelve elders and eleven saints. The letter didn't mention the division of the sexes, unless the saints are girls, but the assumption is that the elders were sinners. Lizzie finds Logan City quite a nice place, and hopes the Lord will gather in her Dalefield friend to Zion
