I’ve discovered a little more information about John NEWMAN and C. BULLOT, the witnesses to Thomas and Annie’s marriage in 1865. Both appear in the book New Zealand Medal to Colonials (2010 ed.) under the listing for the Taranaki Militia (aka Taranaki Volunteer Militia).

John L. NEWMAN was a Private who joined at New Plymouth and fought at Waireka on 28 March 1860.

Charles Autridge BULLOT had a far wider involvement, and reached the rank of Sergeant. He also served in the Taranaki Rifle Volunteers; Taranaki Cavalry Volunteers; Patea Rifle Volunteers; and 7th Division Armed Constabulary (30 May 1869 - 9 May 1870). He joined the Taranaki Rifle Volunteers at New Plymouth and fought at Waireka on 28 March 1860 and Mahoetahi on 6 November 1860.

Where's my seat please .... I had rellies in the 57th on foot and the 58th, and the 65th  .... (err I had rellies in quite a number of the on foot regiments, some went to NSW and some went to NZ). 

Somewhere's I have a list of those in the NSW Volunteer Rifles who were rushed to NZ with one of the Wars .... Please may I peek in that list         

Also, I think J L Newman is on various jury lists as John LETCHFIELD Newman

That was a grand feed with all the meaty bits and the gravy and ......  When's the next installment please
