New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Rangitaeki 1956?

Hi Lucy,

Yes there is definitely a school there. It is just back off the road Taupo side of the Lochinver sign & the cafe. Lochinver is a very large sheep station. They could possibly even hold some history of the district.
 Have been past there many times.

Cheers, Eleanor.

Hi Charlotte,

I am interested in your subject. We live in Napier, Hawkes Bay, N.Z.  Before we moved to Napier we lived in the Taupo area. To those not familiar with N.Z. geography Taupo is the lake in the middle of the North Island. Between Taupo & Napier on Highway 5 is a settlement by the name of Rangitaeki. The only landmarks there now are the pub, school & small wayside cafe! It is quite likely that your Mr. Hastings was a roadman there. That road has always been a main route since the horse & coach days. I understand the original pub was a coach stop but was burnt down. Now there are some very productive large dairy farms in the area. You can guarantee he was hardy if he lived there as Rangitaeki has a very harsh winter climate!

Cheers, Eleanor.

Hello Slimbridge,

 My brother lives in Devauchelle. Wonder if he can be of any help. He grows peonies & other flowers for the overseas market. Mainly Japan. It is a very beautiful part of New Zealand. I will forward this on to him & see if he is any help. I do know at present he will be full on with picking the peonies so please don't hold your breath!!
Regards,
Kiwicousey.

Hi King William,

I live in Hawkes Bay & can tell you that Ashley Clinton, Waipawa, Norsewood & Woodville are all within a short distance of one another. If you knew where they were buried I would be happy to check out any graves for you.

Regards,

Hi Brian,

My mother sailed from Southampton to Wellington aboard the Corinthic in 1926. She always said it took 6 weeks via Panama canal.

Hi Angel,

No this is not Cat but I would be very interestad to hear anything anyone may know that could lead to what happened to Charles Henry Bishop (as above) There was another of the same name who was an accountant in Auckland but after having got a copy of his marriage certificate to Mabel Keyte, we discover it is definitely not the one we are seeking.

I look forward to hearing more. I had nearly given up!

Regards, Kiwicousey.
