O'Hanlon Family in NZ *COMPLETED*

[emmamj]

Hi
I didn't query as to why you are writing about CP O'Hanlon - is it just because he owned the Hotels and you are writing about them generally or are you writing about CP O'Hanlon?
Some of the HOtels he had were:  Empire Hotel; Brighton Hotel, Kai Iwi; new hotel on Taupo Quey; Pier Hotel; Hotel Keeper Karangahape Road, Auckland.
I have some articles about these so hopefully will be able to scan them to you, however you may already have them.
His ex-wife Rose O'Hanlon was also a hotel keeper - Railway Hotel, Hawera
From the info I have gathered he seems a rather "colourful" character!

Yay - that would be awesome...and I might have some stuff you don't have. I will have photos of those hotels if you don't have them. Cheers, Laraine
