If anyone has information for the Soldiers from WW1 buried at Featherston, please get in touch, have quite a bit on some names but still a long way to go. and its coming up the 100 years since The Great War, we lost too many men then.. photograph, back ground into the soldiers are so interesting...

Often I can put you in touch with others doing the same name, new relations for you all!

Headstone photography by emails...

I am ex Londoner, loving the history of my area where decided to live, CLAREVILLE.. perhaps I know more than the locals!

Sadly he died, drowning in a river near Ica Station. Wairarapa. am searching for anything on him, especially how he came to be one armed. He died 1883. Have located the site he is buried at, next to get up there to see it. John was a shepherd. about 49 years old. Names of Hedgeland comes from Devon.

Any one recognise the name please, or is related, please get in touch, am helping a friend in OZ also a Gt. Grandson.. more hands make light work! Thank you.

The Masterton RUTHERFURD and the Carterton family of the same spelling are related, I do know descendants over in Australia. then one U married the other spelling to confuse you all.. RUTHERFORD.. When I notified my friend in OZ about another Rutherfurd, she had no idea that her one was related to the Masterton ones.. oh yes.. Charles Ferdinand Rutherfurd was the Carterton one, we cannot find when he died or where buried, but his wife, Harriet is buried at Clareville. When I let my friend know of the findings, she couldn't believe it.. does now, put them both in touch with each other...

Currently researching Featherston WW1. Military Cemetery here in Wairarapa. New Zealand. Have all the headstone photographs if anyone would like one, also wish to find out about the back ground of each soldier please, rather than his military career.

Also researching early settlers to Carterton District and its cemetery.
