Hi Heather, I note your online references to James Ridler. I am a descendant of Ellen Money Hall and Richard Frederick (Fredric). Our connection through the Ridlers is Catherine Hall (younger sister of Ellen) married James Weeks, whose daughter Martha Cavill Weeks married William James Ridler. in the house of John Fredric in Invercargill. My great-grandmother, Jessie nee Fredric and her first husband Oscar Wilson were associated with William Samuel Ridler (son of William James and Martha Cavill), and lived for a period with him and his wife Catherine in Wellington at 47 Rintoul St, in the early 1900s. I met (**) in Christchurch way back in the 1980s, but not had much other personal contact with the Ridler family, although have managed to compile lots of notes from various records. Would be interested in comparing notes. Regards, T (my email direct is (*))

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: GEORGE TINLINE ELLIOT

I am researching this gentlemen. It is said he emigrated to New Zealand in 1891 with his brother William. Active in the finance and investment arena, he was later knighted. He married Rachel Winifred McKerrow in 1897, and they had three sons, William Maxwell, James Bruce and George Paterson.

Both George and brother William died in NZ.

Prior to his marriage, and we suppose at the time he and his brother were engaged in the flax industry shortly after their arrival in NZ, George Elliot had a child with a Maori woman, Paewhenua Tarewa, who was a sister to my great-grandfater, Rota Tarewa. Although the birth of the child George Moho Elliot is not recorded, family history states the very definite links between the families.

I would appreciate hearing of any further information you might be able to proffer regarding the Scottish antecedents of the family, in particular those relating to William Elliot and Janet Easton etc who I understand were married in Edinburgh 12 Oct 1857, and any of their children. We are currently compiling a comprehensive record of the various families associated with the Tarewa family.

It may be easier to mail me direct at (*)

Many thanks, and regards, Tarewa Rota
