laurences of inglewood north island
« on: Tuesday 12 December 06 20:24 GMT (UK) »
Please can someone in North Island help me with The Laurences of Inglewood, my ancestors who emigrated mid 1800's from Salehurst, East Sussex, England. I know that Mrs Margaret Poletti from Papabura wrote a book of that title, as she is also descended from this family, and she kindly shipped a copy (returned I think 2005) to my cousin David in Battle.

I would like to buy a copy of this publication as it is a missing link in my research, which goes back to mid 1700's at present. Any info on the Laurence family will be very gratefully received. :)

Merry xmas to all Laurences in New Zealand and a happy new year.
Thankyou

Sue Baker

There are only four Poletti's in the Auckland phone book and all of them live in Papakura. An M.J. Poletti lives at 69 Willis Rd Papakura, Auckland  telephone   09-298 9797. If this is the author of the book then she is probably in the best position to help you gain a copy.

Dear Alamar

Thankyou for your response, have also e-mailed a bookshop in the general area to see if they can help.

Wishing you and your family a merry xmas from the uk :)
