Hi Sue

My name is Jeanette Gregan and am a granddaughter of Sir William Dunlop, daughter of Judith Dunlop.  I am too very excited to find out all this information, no doubt you will have heard about Eric's death on Friday, he was such a character and will be sadly missed.

hi Jeanette, lovely to meet you again today tho a very sad occasion . We'd meet several times tho only knew your first name really. My original search online was for
- Doak, Dunlop, Rogers, as thought this covered most bases on my Dads side. Would love to keep in touch as am very aware how much your family group were also a big part of Eric and Dads lives. I'd love to join the dots a bit more in the family tree- time is so precious just now,so hanging on to retirement in just a few years to enable me to put more into this!
Am part of a planning group for mums family reunion next year which is exciting and opens up another whole world of relationships!
How on earth did families keep accurate records in the past? Seems almost impossible today, even with all our technology!
Love to your Whanau, I left pretty early today as not too well.
Love Susan

Yes, this is the same family. I expect that the 3 boys are the sons of Ethel and Sam - Robert, Eric and Ivon (Samuel) - my late Father. The girl will be my late Aunt Grace who was born  a few years before Ethel and Sam married, and not his daughter. Am unsure whether she was legally adopted by Sam or not, but went by the Doak name. Attempts by her children to obtain her birth certificate have been blocked for some reason, quite odd. They were a very close family. Sam, Mary, Aunt Lizzie, Will and my own Father, are all buried at Belfast Cemetery Christchurch Nz.

Hi, My great grandfather Samuel Doak came to NZ on the Clipper Ship, Crusader. I have his certificate? From this trip. My grandfather was Sam, sister of Lizzie, and my Father, Samuel Ivon Walter (now deceased) His only living sibling is Eric Roger Doak, a aged 85. I wonder whether the photograph sent from Belfast NZ is of Samuel, Mary and their children , Sam and Lizzie as I have a photograph of that group. I have only just managed to join up to this site- am not very computer literate, so am hoping this gets to the right person- was so excited to see their names here and to know that somewhere someone is collecting this data. My sister has the marriage certificate of Samuel Doak and Mary Glassey. Aunt Lizzie and Will Rogers did not have any children. Hope this is of some help.
