I have just started doing my family tree on my Dads side but unfornuately my dad has died along with all the information.
I have got that his father was Arthur Herbert Yaxley and his mother was Annie nee Ede.
They had six children that I know of and my dad being one of them.
His name is Horace Corneluis Yaxley born 25-11-1910 at Kaiopaoi Christchurch NZ and died 22-10-1980 at Hornby Christchurch NZ.

Cathcart Ship: 1387 tons Captain: Crawford Sailed London 10th June 1874 - arrived Lyttelton 29th August 1874

A remarkable passage was made by the fine iron clipper Cathcart to Lyttelton in 1874. A ship of 1,387 tons, built four years previously by Robert Steel, of Greenock, she sailed from London with 481 Government immigrants on the 11th June, and from the Downs three days later, making the passage in 70 days 12 hours to the Snares, and arriving at Lyttelton on the 29th August, 76 days from the Downs to port. The equator was crossed on the 21st day out. On the 28th July she made a run of 304 miles, and the following day 293.

Mutiny on board Cathcart Four of the crew of the Cathcart having during the voyage broken into the fore-hold, broached cargo and secured drink; one of them was brought aft and placed in irons; another, having attempted to rescue him, was also taken in charge, but while being secured the first prisoner escaped to the forecastle. Captain Crawford and the officers going forward to recapture him, were prevented from doing so by several of the crew, who made use of threatening language. The Captain, finding that the mutineers would not listen to reason, returned to his cabin, and after deliberating with his officers, armed himself and went forward the second time. Finding the doors of the forecastle closed, he demanded admission. Previous to this, part of the crew had left the mutineers. Those within refused to open the doors, threatened the Captain, and said that they meant shortly to be masters of the ship. Arguement was useless, and the door on the starboard side of the forecastle was, in spite of much resistance, partly forced open with hand spikes, and the Captain, again warning the mutineers, fired three times amongst them, three of them being wounded. An entrance was effected and the mutiny quelled, the ringleaders and others being placed in irons. On the arrival of the ship at Lyttelton the men were brough before a magistrate and charged with endeavouring to make a revolt. Four were sentenced to twelve weeks' imprisonment with hard labour, and two to one month additional for assaulting the Captain. White Wings - Sir Henry Brett

Thank you so much for all the information. You have made my day. I struggled with the two Arthur Yaxleys but I see now one was the oldest son. Also Lawerence as I never heard Dad mention him but he only lived for a year.
I am one of ten Children plus two half sisters which one has died. My Dad Horace was first married to Mary Anna Evelyn Rogers in 3-9-29 and divorced in 27-6-1940. He married my mum Ethel May Chaney 28-6-1940 so you can see they never wasted much time in getting married. I am third to youngest in my family.
Once again thank you. Kind Regards Sharon
