maybe able to help out here my great grandfaher is meredith rountree he had a brother named william james .
meredith had a wife named violet [nee hartnell]
meredith s father was jones rountree died 21-8-21 and he was married to elenor [nee gunson]died 15-8-21 .from memory possibly recall finding jones grave and meredith at the cemetary at waikiekie nth rd and to read jones requires a crayon rubbing over paper .
i believe a book early northland by j t stephens may hold more information.
the original family homestead was on rountree rd and possibly at the end of this is where the memorial to meredith and joseph is although i could not find it as the end of the rd is fenced 10 ft high and planted in pines this is in the ruarangi district--------------------------------AJHR 1876 Section H26 page 19

Thanks a lot for that info, all the bits of information are building a picture of the Rountree family:. I have received some more data from this website and it is really exciting knowing more about this branch of the family. Our family are travelling north in January)and hope to have a look around Ruarangi (if we can find it) and other pertinent Rountree places.

Hi there

I see this thread hasn't been active in a while but just thought I would post in case this is of interest.

I have Rountrees on a bit of a side branch to my main family tree in Ireland and the names Meridith and Jones seem to be a reoccurring theme.

In case there is any connection here is what I have:
(and just so you know - I got most of this information from a trip to Kilmore Graveyard with my Grandma who is the font of all family gossip)

1. Robert Rountree 1832c>09/04/1923 married Ann Wright 1845c>1910
they had two children - Meridith (see 2) and Anna (below)

Anna 1880c>03/01/1960

2. Meridith Rountree 24/03/1871 >01/04/1917 married Susanna Hewitt 05/01/1879>?? (Susanna was my Grans Auntie)

will put there children in the next box as running out of space :-)
