I would like to share one of the best New Zealand sources of finding anything about the early settlers/pioneers and a site I have used probably every researching day since I discovered it years ago ... Papers Past

I was very surprised to read that one of the first things Samuel Revans did when he landed on Petone Beach back in 1840 was to set up his printing press and it surprises me more that someone has had the foresight to keep each issue ever since (unlike myself who thought yesterdays newspaper was for lighting the fire or wrapping the fish & chips !!)

Because of the small population during the early days of New Zealand, nearly everyone got their names in the newpapers at some stage (whether they wanted to or not at times) and most people liked to record their births & deaths etc to share the news with everyone in their community because everyone knew each other. So the likelihood of you finding something on your ancestors is very good.

As at this date Papers Past contains more than two million pages of digitised New Zealand newspapers and periodicals. The collection covers the years 1839 to 1945 and includes 77 publications from all regions of New Zealand. It is an incredible source of information for all Kiwis (or anyone researching settlers in NZ) and they keep adding old newspapers all the time


this then is my Wild Card ...
Tracking ancestors using Grandpa's Paper trailS
... aka NEWSPAPERS

I offer some hints on finding info from the site

one of the easiest searches, if you know the date of death and if that person was a long-term settler of a certain area, is to enter at least the year of their death (the month is even better) and find their:
? OBITUARY
- this will often say things like, John Pyonere (I'm making up an ancestor here)
* arrived in NZ in 1840
* on board the Kiwi
* he married in 1860 to Jane Doe
* they settled in Wellington and
* had 10 children
* John was the Proprietor of a number of Hotels in the area
* he was the Counciller from 1850-1880 etc etc
* he leaves 3 daughters, Mrs A in Wellington, Mrs B in Auckland, Mrs C in Hastings and a son in Foxton
* another son was killed in Gallipoli
* his wife deceased him 3 years ago
- Wonderful amount of info from one insertion

If your ancestor was not a long term settler you can still track him fairly easily by searching his name by date.
John Pyonere name search might reveal:
? PASSENGER LISTS - 1840 into Wellington
- gives the name of the ship & port of departure and often his age
? COURT CASE - 1845 in Upper Hutt, John is fined for being drunk in charge of a horse after leaving his local hotel. This tells you he is living in the Hutt now
? LOCAL NEWS - 1848 in Featherston, John is standing for Councillor
- he has moved north but obviously settled for awhile
? MARRIAGE announcment - 1860 in Carterton
- he has moved a little north. The weddings were usually held in the bride's home town & often in the 'gossip pages' a detailed description of the marriage, who the attendants were, the spouses family, what they wore etc etc
? BIRTH announcements - 1851-1853-1855 in Masterton & Palmerston North
- you are tracking him moving further north. Go check BDM for children's names
? ADVERTISEMENTS - 1855-1865 John advertises his services as a Carpenter in Taihape. Jane advertises her home produce, flower seeds etc and they always give an address
? COURT CASES - 1870 John is in Taupo when he and his neighbours have a dispute
- still moving north
? ADVERTISEMENT - 1875 from the Taupo Post Office that there are 3 unclaimed letters for John. You know he was there but left (still heading north ?)
? MARRIAGE announcement - 1880, SMITH-PYONERE, Mary the youngest daughter of John & Jane to Fred Smith at the bride's father's residence, Hamilton (north again)
? DEATH - 1900, John Pyonere, in Auckland aged 73 leaves 3 daughters, Mrs A in Wellington, Mrs B in Auckland, Mrs C in Hastings and a son in Foxton, another son was killed in Gallipoli, his wife deceased him 3 years ago

When you have this list of his whereabouts you can then go search the newspapers for each town for any further info. Also check the cemeteries databases, census, district archives etc etc

If you're lucky you will find some juicy bits of scandal :)
I was surprised to find 2 of my maternal ancestors who were caught with an illegal still in the bush way back in 1883!! The court case went on for quite some time and provided a great deal of information
Happy Hunting ...

The Train Wreck at Ongarue
On 6 July 1923, at 05:52, 17 people died in a train crash at Ōngarue near Taumarunui. This stands today as the country’s third most deadly rail disaster. The worst in terms of loss of life was the 1953 Tangiwai Disaster which killed 151 people. Ten years before 21 people died in a crash at Hyde.

Eleven passengers were killed outright, and another two died either en route to Taumarunui Hospital or shortly after arrival there. Four others subsequently died.

The southbound Auckland to Wellington train, containing approx 200 passengers, was actually travelling very slowly when it ploughed into a slip on a blind corner one early morning at Ōngarue. The impact was such that some passengers didn’t even get a fright. Those in three wooden carriages which telescoped into one another were not so fortunate. Detective John Walsh who was travelling in one of the unharmed carriages did not think there was a problem until a call went out for doctors, and even then he alighted expecting to find people with minor wounds. Instead he found a scene of carnage with some carriages completely derailed, and gas seeping into those that had telescoped.

The rescuers later found themselves under attack for irreverent treatment of the dead. There were also reports of civilians roaming round freely searching the bodies. Police and doctors hotly denied these charges. They said their immediate focus was on the living not the dead, so some bodies weren’t attended to immediately. They categorically denied the charge regarding civilians.

Trentham
Hark to the call of war.

? Robert W. Service

Dormant beneath the encircling hills from which the winter snows were fast disappearing lay a great camp: Trentham, haunted by spirits yet without a spirit. Twenty-five years of peacetime soldiering had little more than flickered the eyelids of a military camp which in the years 1914-18 had epitomised strength, purpose, and vigour.

But with the spring of 1939 the bugles sounded again and volunteers flocked to answer the call. The ranks of the Territorial units throughout the country all yielded their quotas to the first 6600 men wanted ?for active servic?. The recruits of 1939, however, were by no means confined to those who had already had some soldier training. Out of the cities and towns, off the farms, came men of all shades of opinion and from all walks of life.

From the chaos which marked the assembly of this ?Special Force? order slowly emerged. The citizen turned soldier, quickly adapting himself to the new way of life, became an integral part of the military machine which the old camp was designed to serve. As the shuffle of civilian shoes changed to the measured tread of iron-shod boots, the spirit of Trentham Camp awoke once more. In this atmosphere, charged with the memories of their fathers? prowess, young men were again trained for war.

On 27 September 1939 officers and NCOs commenced an intensive course prior to selection and posting to units. Theirs was a heavy responsibility, for the training and moulding of this new force was in their hands. Too few young men had responded to the appeals made since 1929 for volunteers to fill the ranks of Territorial Force units. NCOs, the backbone of any unit, had to be found quickly?we were fortunate in the leaven of ex-Territorials through- page 2 out the Special Force. They responded quickly to the brief intensive course and as instructors themselves undertook recruit training for their own small commands as soon as they were posted.

On 3 October 19 Wellington Rifle Battalion, with its headquarters at Trentham, was born. The principal appointments in the unit were allocated to officers who had given stalwart service to their country for many years and whose energy and efficiency were well known. The Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel F. S. Varnham, MC, ED,1 had a distinguished record both as an officer in the New Zealand Division during the First World War and subsequently as a Territorial unit and brigade commander. His senior officers were:

Major C. A. D?A. Blackburn Second-in-Command
Lieutenant E. W. S. Williams, NZSC Adjutant
Lieutenant J. E. F. Vogel Quartermaster
Major A. B. Ross OC Wellington Company
Major R. K. Gordon OC Wellington West Coast Company
Captain C. M. Williamson OC Hawke?s Bay Company
Captain S. F. Hartnell OC Taranaki Company
Captain C. E. Webster OC Headquarters Company

Life for the seven hundred-odd enthusiasts on the battalion roll soon shook down to an orderly routine. Neither the sweat of intensive training nor the vagaries of the spring weather dampened their ardour. The keenest rivalry sprang up between the companies, which retained the names and something of the high tradition of the famous regiments from which they had sprung. The response from all ranks was remarkable. Flags emblazoned with the badges of those regiments under whose colours many men now in the ranks of the 19th had previously served were presented by Territorial associations. These were proudly flown in company lines. Reveille each day was heralded by the Orderly Sergeant breaking out on the battalion flagpole the colours of his own company

... In camp that same afternoon private farewells were said. Next-of-kin, friends, and wellwishers gathered to say goodbye. Leaving home had at last become a sad reality. The battalion lines, trim tented and subdued, will remain long in the memories of mothers, wives and sweethearts; for them the sorrow of parting did not ride buoyantly on a sea of excitement. Two days later Trentham was deserted.
