New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Jonathan Bell - Rangiora, Canterbury
« on: Tuesday 18 January 22 10:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
It's now 2021 and I've fallen into a rabbit hole of research after a local historian has uncovered a lot of info regarding the Bells that relate back to Rangiora, aka my hometown.
The youngest Jonathan was my great, great, great grandfather. I live around 100m from where the farm would have once been, the station masters house from when the railway went through there was recently sold after being restored hence all the info has come back up again.
There's quite a bit on the family in local Rangiora Facebook pages and also some belongings in the local museum, I believe my nana also has the original tickets from the ship when they emigrated.
I have some screenshots of the original land plans and also a picture of the cottage that was first on the site but I can't work out how to resize them.for this site unfortunately, if you search me on Facebook (name above and town Rangiora) then I can send them through there if anybody is interested
