I hope CHCH RChatters have electricity re-connected, and fresh water to make a cuppa, so that if they have a quite moment they can "escape" to the 1800's and share this Magical Mystery Tour !
I think, but not sure, (printouts would confirm,) that
Mr BULLÔT Snr given names were Eugene Isadore. (Cuttings in the NZ papers have E.I., and the NZ BDM has Eugene Isadore (online ref deaths 1872/366) . The surname suggests to me possible French origin, so perhaps there's a Huguenot connection
Mrs BULLÔT was Susannah Gertrude nee ANTRIDGE (NZ BDM online ref deaths 1871/355 & marriage Q3 of 1837 at Stoke Damerel, Devon, England GRO ref Vol 9 pg 420 (his name transcribed as Eugine)
