TOM HAINES AND SOPHIA HAWKINS

Journal by Petone

Does anyone have a Family Tree for Tom Haines 1859-1929 and his wife Sophia Hawkins 1868-1938. He was one of two or three siblings who emigrated to New Zealand. I have a family Reunion 2001 Calendar which gives birthdays of members of the family. Members of Tom's family may have been Syd, Stan, Thomas, Muriel, Beatrice, Harry, Kit, Nellie, Beat, Marg, Edith, Tom, Syd, Eddie. These would be Tom's children and grandchildren I believe. Thomas Charles Haines (not Tom mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph) was born in 1889 and died 1952. I believe Tom Haines emigrated to New Zealand from the UK and that members of the family live in the Wellington area of New Zealand. There are other names relating to members of the family but this is just a start.

Tom and Sophia emigrated to New Zealand along with along with children, Harry, Nellie and her husband Charlie White, Edith, Sydney and Beatrice. They embarked on 7 November 1924 from Southhampton on the SS Pakeha. They arrived at Auckland, New Zealand on 16 December 1924, a voyage of 39 days.

Harry, I am not a million miles away from Glasgow. In fact I lived in a place called Kilmacolm some years ago for 3 yrs. I now live in Buckinghamshire. Your details about the Haines family are most interesting. I have a Haines paper calendar which has photos also dated 2001 I think. I am the daughter of Dorothy Hilda Haines who became Dorothy Kolecki after marriage. She emigrated to New Zealand but her father, mother, sister Connie and brother Albert did not, and remained in Reading Berkshire. My mother resided in Petone Wellington. She married a Polish man, Mr Kolecki. I have not enrolled on Ancestry as yet but will do so eventually. As I was born out of wedlock I do not appear on any family trees. I am registered, however, as Wendy Haines. Are you related to this Haines family and in what way? I can't help wondering if I will be able to find my way back to this site and your contact details just hope so. Best regards & thanks. Wendy.

Thanks for your help. Are you related to a Haines or just plain assisting me out of kindness?

I am aware that there is a Family Tree calendar for the Haines family based in New Zealand, but I am not on it. I would like my name to be added to it, but at present have come across a brick wall. I don't know who created it. Anyway Harry, I think you are no longer working on this site. All the best. Wendy. And no I don't have Ancestry.
