Grave 5, Row 13 GOTTFRIED LINDAUER (1839-1926)
GOTTFRIED LINDAUER is buried in Woodville Cemetery New Zealand
Gottfried Lindauer, or by his Czech name, Bohumir Lindauer (1839-1926) was a Czech and later a New Zealand artist famous for his portraits including that of the Maori. Despite his German sounding surname, he was ethnically Czech.
* Gottfried was born in Ujezd u Svateho Krize, now Bohemia Czech Republic, the 3rd of 7 known children (5 sons) of Hynek Ignac Lindauer (1808-) & Marie Rozene Schmidova (1811-1871).
* He sailed from Hamburg 10 May 1874 on the Reichstag, arriving in Wellington 6 Aug 1874. He is listed as a 'Gardener'
* He died in Woodville, New Zealand. Woodville is proud of the long association Gottfried had with the town and they have a Lindauer Replica Studio
Gottfried married twice
* He first married in 1879, in Melbourne, to Emilie 'Emelia' Wipper (1853-1880). Emelia was born 1853 in Danzig Stadt, Westpreussen, Preussen. She arrived into Queensland as an assisted immigrant, on the Hamburg on 16 Oct 1878. She travelled down to Melbourne where she met Gottfried. They married there in 1879 and 6 months later returned in NZ to settle in Christchurch. Emelia died soon afterwards, on 24 Feb 1880 in childbirth
* It is said Emelia died in childbirth also that she died of peritonitis. She is buried at Barbadoes Street Cemetery, Christchurch
Gottfried moved up to Napier, Hawke's Bay in 1881 where he was naturalised and where he next married on 15 Sept 1885, to Rebecca Petty (1849-1944), of Bishop Stortford, England.
They had two sons
* 1887 - 1928 Hector Carnell Partridge Lindauer
. In 1911 Hector was a Student of Music, living in Woodville. In 1925 he was a Music Teacher living on Pinfold Road, Woodville. He is buried with his mother
* 1888 - 1964 Victor Wilhelm Lindauer
. headmaster and teacher at Russell. He married Elsie May Lovell in 1927, daughter of George Enoch Lovell & Annie Elizabeth Melhuish, of Woodville. He devoted 28 of his 75 years to the study of the marine algae of New Zealand
by Bernard John Foster, M.A., Research Officer, Department of Internal Affairs, Wellington .. Lindauer was an accomplished and meticulous draughtsman and his paintings present a faithful ethnological record. In depicting Maori garments, ornaments, and weapons, Lindauer has not been surpassed. His rendering of Maori features and moko (tattooing) are highly valued by ethnologists. He never permitted imagination to replace authenticity in recording the customs and the way of life of the Maori people of his day. As a result, his work lacks the romantic appeal of later artists, like C. F. Goldie or H. Linley Richardson, who searched out the fast-disappearing picturesque types, the relics of those "bygone" days already recorded by Lindauer.
Lindauer's paintings are valuable because either he was endowed with little inventive facility or he suppressed this quality in his paintings of the Maori. His compositions are obvious and even trite and his colour is truthful but never adventurous. He was a recorder with a fastidious eye for the factual. With ample technical skill to achieve his purpose, he could paint a replica or a number of replicas almost indistinguishable from the original painting from life. Partridge presented his collection of about 80 Lindauers to the citizens of Auckland during the First World War on condition that the city raised £10,000 for the Belgian Relief Fund. In a few weeks this amount was oversubscribed. The Partridge Collection is now housed in the Auckland City Art Gallery. There are also a number of fine Lindauers in the New Plymouth and in the Wanganui Museums.
Some confusion arises from Lindauer's mode of signing his pictures. Those painted in Europe are signed "B. Lindaur" or "B. Lindauer" – the "B." standing for his Czech Christian name "Bohumir", while the spelling of Lindauer was apparently optional. His pictures painted in New Zealand are signed "G. Lindauer" – the "G." standing for his German name "Gottfried" and the surname being spelt with an 'e'
Gottfried died in his sleep on Sunday morning at Woodville, survived by his widow and two sons.
NZ Herald, 15 June 1926
DEATH of GOTTFRIED LINDAUER Painter of Noted Maori.
Information has been received by Mr H. E. Partridge of the death at Woodville in the 88th year of his age, of Herr Gottfried Lindauer, the noted painter of Maori portraits.
Herr Lindauer was born at Pilsen, Bohemia (Czecho-Slovakia) in 1839 and came to New Zealand 53 years ago. During his 30 years residence in New Zealand he painted from life more people of the Maori race than any other living man. Mr Henry Edward Partridge (1848-1931) engaged Herr Lindauer to paint the pictures, accompanied the artist to the homes of the Maori and arranged the sittings. This was the manner in which the Lindauer collection was formed, which later was presented to the citizens of Auckland by Mr Partridge and is now a feature of the Art Gallery.
There is nothing else quite like the striking canvases which perpetuate the features of some of the most famous rangatiras and fighting chiefs of the old school, At the present time there is not a single example of the high-caste tattooed Maori left and if the present generation wants to known what these fine old people were like, he will have to go to the Lindauer collection.
The fidelity of Lindauer's portraits is amply borne out by the friends and relatives of the men and women whose features he transferred to canvas. In addition to the very truthful portraits, Lindauer also preserved a number of the peculiar old customs of the native race, including the interesting ceremony of 'tapu' which is the subject of one of the most popular pictures in the collection. Owing to the wonderfully accurate drawing of the tattoo of the various sitters, the pictures have a special interest in preserving what is now a lost art.
Lindauer was born at Pilsen, Bohemia, Austria, on January 5, 1839. At the age of 16 he left Pilsen for Vienna to study portrait painting under Professors Fuehrich and Kuppelwieser. After seven years close study, Lindauer's work began to attract the attention of a great number of wealthy and prominent persons from whom, for several years, he received many valuable commissions. Later he was engaged to visit various parts of Austria, Moravia and Russia, painting Biblical subjects for a number of Catholic cathedrals, churches and eminent churchmen,
On completion of these commissions Herr Lindauer returned to Bohemia. While there he happened to read an article in one of the local journals giving a glowing account of the beauties of New Zealand and its native people, the Maori. The article appealed strongly to Lindauer's artistic instinct and in the early part of the year 1873 he sailed from Hamburg in the ship 'Reichstag' for Wellington, landing there in August of the same year. Immediately afterwards he began travelling through the native district of both islands of New Zealand, securing sittings from a great number of the most influential Maori chiefs and members of their families, many of whom figured prominently in the early history of the colony. It was during Herr Lindauer's first visit to Auckland, in the year 8174, that he and Mr H. E. Partridge met. From this meeting sprang the friendship which the succeeding years only helped to cement more securely.
It was at this first meeting, at which he inspected some of Lindauer's sketches, that the idea of making a collection of the portraits of these notable Maori people and illustrations of their old-time customs occurred to Mr Partridge. The result of the compact then made is now to be seen in the Auckland Art Gallery. Herr Lindauer had also painted portraits of a number of our foremost clerics and public men, among others the late Sir Walter Buller, who also gave him several commissions to paint the portraits of some of his Maori friends. It was at the opening of the India and Colonial Exhibition in London that our late King, then the Prince of Wales, became enamoured of one of the Maori subjects painted by Lindauer and exhibited by Buller. It was a picture of a Maori girl with clematis wreathed round her head. Buller, noticing the Princes's admiration sent the picture the next day to Marlborough House begging his acceptance of it.
No living artist had such splendid opportunities of painting the old-time Maori as Lindauer enjoyed. And the gallery which has been built of his pictures is a monument of artistic skill, industry and patience. No artist has equalled him in the truthful painting of the Maori in the nude. Particularly has he excelled in the painting of women and young children, whose flesh tints have been the despair of many an artist. And in no instance has a Maori ever pointed out a mistake in the technical make-up of the pictures - the patterns and colour of the tattooing, the flax and the feather garments, weapons, houses and all the multitudinous details in which errors might very easily be made by those who had not made a very long and close study of the native people in their own homes.

Stanislaus James, Mary Mechtilde and other MORAN siblings - Wellington, New Zealand late 1800s
I am looking to complete this branch of the JAMES MORAN family in New Zealand.
James Moran, surveyor, formerly Auckland then Wellington.
His wife - no name or any other info - always just referred to as Mrs Moran at Papers Past.
James died in 1898 at age 78 so guessed his birthdate as 1820 but would like verification on all the dates.
I have for their children AND this is in any order because of lack of birth dates:
- James Patrick Moran married Ellen Teresa O'Sullivan
- Stanislaus James Moran - graduated from the Victoria University in 1905 with a LL.B degree after spending 3 years at St. Patrick's College in Wellington. He married Alice May Cotter (who was previously married to Edward George Harris in Masterton) - Stanislaus died in 1953, no age, buried in Masterton.
- Kathleen J. Moran married Patrick J. Nolan who was born in 1866 son of Mr Mathew Nolan, and was the sub-editor for the New Zealand Times... They moved to Australia
- Mary Mechtilde Moran married Henry James Marsh in 1897.
Henry died 15 months later from consumption at the age of 27
- Julia Moran who was a noted violinist in New Zealand and Australia
- Agnes Moran MAYBE died June 1902 at the age of 24, no other info
- Teresa Moran married George Craig in 1901. He worked for the CUstoms Department
- Annie Moran - no info
- Ida Moran - nothing known
- Helen A. Moran married Peter McGregor in October 1902.
She died 18 months later in Hunterville from heart disease aged 35
- Florence B. Moran died in November 1905 aged 22 so was born about 1883.
Can you tell me if this was all the children or if indeed they were all their children

NEWSPAPER REPORTS
- anything in (italics) is my addition -
Manawatu Times, Volume X, Issue 1287, 5 September 1884
Per Press Association, Wellington
... Information was received at daylight this morning that the ship Lastingham, from London to Wellington, has been wrecked at Jackson's Head, Cook Strait.
The Lastingham was a ship of 1085 tons, of the Shaw-Saville line, and was commanded by Alex. MORRISON. The catastrophe happened while the vessel was running through the straits during the heavy N.W. gale on Monday night. The vessel struck the land at Jackon's Head and a terrific sea was running. The captain, his wife, five passengers, and eleven of the crew were washed away from the wreck and drowned. The remainder of the crew including the 1st and 2nd officers reached main land and were yesterday picked up by the ketch Anges, which was passing through the Straits and brought on here. The vessel has gone to pieces.
Beyond the captain and wife the names of those drowned are not yeat ascertained
THE CHIEF OFFICER'S STORY
The following are particulars of the wreck:- The chief officer. Mr NEALE, supplies the following particulars:-
... The Lastingham sighted the Coast of New Zealand about 8 o'clock on Monday morning last and in a little over twelve hours afterwards was a total wreck, almost on the spot where the steamer Rangitoto was lost (30 Nov 1873, no loss of life). Heavy weather prevailed at the time and continued till the vessel was driven ashore. The gale was of terrific force, and rain fell heavily for some hours previous to accident and land was not visible for more than a mile ahead. Great efforts were made by the officers and crew to prevent the vessel going ashore. At ten p.m. she went ashore and became a total wreck in less than two hours.
The crew and passengers endeavoured to save themselves in various ways, some of them plunging into the boiling sea and striking out for the shore. Others sprang from the vessel's side on to rocks in the vicinity, while others arrempted to float ashore on anything that would bear their weight.
The scene was one of indescribable confusion, wind howling, rain falling, people rushing about shouting and screeching, and the sea breaking over the ship's side.
About midnight a muster of the survivors was made when it was ascertained that 18 were missing and no doubt drowned, the captain and wife and the whole of the passengers (five in number) being among the number.
A miserable night was spent and on Tuesday efforcts were made to find a habitation within distance of the shore but without success. Three of the men, CHALMERS, WOOD, and ALFREY, continued on their journey in hopes of discovering inhabitants and were not seen afterwards by those of the survivors who are now in Wellington.
It is difficult to say whether they will be found alive.
The survivors - fourteen in number, endured great privation while in the neighborhood of Jackson's head, owing to their not having saved anything. The captain endeavored to save the log books, ship's papers, etc, but as he lost his life in attempting to reach the shore with his wife it is not likely those articles will ever be recovered. The only articles of food which came ashore were 4lbs of pickled pork and two packages of oatmeal and cornflour. They stopped their hunger by gnawing the raw meal and drinking an oatmeal mixture, fresh water being found close to the wreck. The men had to run up and down the beach to keep up the circulation. Wednesday was fine and their clothes were laid out to dry and the survivors obtained much needed rest, having been without sleep for 36 hours. Each night the men huddled together under rocks to keep themselves warm and on Thursday night they discovered a small vessel passing. A piece of blanket which had come ashore was fixed to a pole and moved to and fro. The signal was observed. and a boat being lowered. the survivors were soon on board the ketch, which proved to be the Anges from Pelorus Sound to Kaiapoi, with timber. Captain Jensen of the ketch, attended to the wants of the shipwrecked mariners, and then bore for Wellington.
At the time of rescue the men had almost given up hope of being rescued, as on Tuesday and Wednesday, no less than five steamers were seen passing close to land, and although signals were made none on board seem to have noticed them. However, no effort was made to rescue them.
When they were taken on board they were thoroughly exhausted. The chief officer is of opinion that had they to stop another night on the coast some of the party would have succumbed to the privations.
Those saved are:
(all seamen)
* John NEALE, chief officer
* John BARTON, second mate
* DIDDLE, steward
* ROBERTSON, carpenter
* GROVES
* DONBAIRE
* CHAMBERS
* MUNRO
* DONALDSON
* ADERY
the apprentices are:
* THOMAS
* FRYER
The whole of the passengers were drowned.
Their names were, Messrs:
* BURRELL
* DAVIS
* MEAKIN
* McGINN
* NAISH
None of them were married men and it is understood they have never been in New Zealand
The names of the officers and men drowned were:
* Alex MORRISON, master, aged about 60 years of age, and his wife, who usually accompanied him on all his voyages
* Henry GROVES, third officer
* Peter McQUIRE, cook
* John MURRAY, sailmaker
* BARNARD
* LAMBERT
* GROUBAN
* MATHEWS
* WATSON
all seamen and SHARP & PEARCE, two of the complement of four boys, which the ship carried
The wreck of the Lastingham has cast a gloom over the city and flags are lowered half mast as a mark of respect to those who perished.
Instructions have been issued to send a steamer from Picton to proceed to the scene of the catastrophe and institute a search for three of the survivors who were hunting for a habitation and could not be found when the others were rescued.
A subscriptions was started this morning in aid of the survivors and ?36 handed to chief officer to provide clothing for his shipmates (equivalent in 2009 to $5,900).
An enquiry into the disaster is being held before the Collector of Customs.
It is understood that Captain Morrison, who commanded the Lastingham, had retired from the sea sometime back but was ruined by the failure of the Glasgow bank and had to go to sea again, this being his second voyage.
The lastinham struck head on and immediately broached to when her side was exposed to the fury of the terrific sea running and the deck houses boats and everything about decks were swept overboard. The sea continued making a clear sweep over the ill-fated vessel and in about an hour the decks bulged out and this was the last seen of the vessel as she them slipped off the rocks and disappeared in deep water. It was with the greatest difficulty any of the crew managed to reach the rocks and they were then in a very exhausted condition and their hands were severely lacerated
Captain Babot of Shaw, Saville and Co has taken charge of the survivors and will see to their wants being properly attended to.
The shipwrecked crew speak in high praise of treatment they received at the hands of Captain Jensen of the ketch Agnes

A MESSAGE RECEIVED 28 August 2010 from Charles A "Chuck" BENCIK. I retired from San Diego Maritime Museum as Librarian in 2002. During my 5 years in that job I discovered that in the book "Star of India Log of an Iron Ship" (a book about the immigrant ship Euterpe by Jerry MacMullen - first printed 1961), that he made a mistake: the voyage listed in the appendix in the back as "London - [dep] Oct. 19, '81 - [To] Wellington [Returned to] Liverpool" did not happen as listed. Euterpe did not go to Wellington and never did arrive at Wellington in February of 1882. Euterpe instead went to Sydney, Australia, then to Newcastle, Australia, to San Francisco, then to London, returning around 1st March 1884. The story of that voyage (I wrote it) is in the Maritime Museum's Quarterly, "Mains'l Haul", entitled ?A Tragic Chapter Revealed? Vol. 33:No. 4: pages 32-39. If you want to find names of persons who sailed on Euterpe/Star of India, simply go to this site: the EUTERPE/Star of India Index
Incidentally, the library at the Maritime Museum in San Diego has a complete collection of all the newspapers from the various ports she sailed to, to which immigrants arrived and each paper gives a list of passenger names and other details about those voyages. The Librarian's name is Dr. Kevin Sheehan and he is a very friendly Aussie. Good Luck!
NOTES - the San Diego Maritime Museum is home to the sailing ships, steam yachts and schooners of yesteryear that will entertain and educate all visitors. The San Diego Maritime Museum houses historic ships, models, artifacts and exhibits about the history of the sea and the fishing and commercial ships of San Diego

OCEAN MAIL - 2.2.1874 - Brought 323 immigrants (245 adults). 5 children died of whooping cough & also had 3 cases of scarlatina on board. At one o'clock the Luna went off, having the health officer and the immigration officer and others on board. On reaching the Ocen Mail and hearing the report she was not boarded but was ordered into quarantine immediately and was towed over to Somes Island. A good deal of anxiety was evinced when it was seen from town that the yellow jack was run up to the masthead but by 7pm people were relieved to hear that the disease was not of a more serious character. Fresh provisions were sent on board for the comfort of the immigrants and the passengers were finally landed from quarantine 9th Feb
