Thanks for replying!
The info im after is iwi,hapu and marae?

Im the only ine in my family doing research.I didnt know of my ancestry until I was sixteen.My fathers parents are complicated!
willam Nicholls= Susan Te Whakaawa
they had 3 daughters .Harete,Huhana,Hera.Huhana is were my family come in.
Huhana married a Richard Cartman, their daughter(Hannah Cartman) married my dads grand father.
The only other info about my whanau is that they knew my grandad,Gilbert Honey)but he wasnt intersted.His ex wife(my dads mum)didnt like them either,dont know why.All she will tell me is that nana Hannah(who I never met)was good at lawn bowls!lol)
So it knew nothing about any of this until I was a teenager!
I have never met any of my gt gt grandmothers whanau so It feels a bit disslocating!Im pakeha of Maori descent.
Im also an artist,so am curious about tribal designs exc,I also am a pretty good harakeke weaver.
thats enough from me!!

Ok,

William married HERA te WHAKA AWA, not Susan.

Have got quite a lot on the CARTMAN - Susan NICHOLLS side.

tribal backgrounds are Te Aroha and Mount Maunganui area.

Hera came from Matakana Island 

Ngai te Rangi   ...   


Yeah there was a bit of a hiccup in the Cartman - Honey - ? side, not a major one

Its all on the other computer so I can sort you some basics out when I get to it ...

Cheers mk 2 Zepher!
Yeah I know all about the hiccup.Hannah Cartman had twin boys Gilbert and Len.Gilbert (who died recently is my dads Father)
Apparently he was left some land on Matakana Island,thru his mother.Family members are fighting over his will,witch is sad.I have never been there.Should make a trip..
Thanks for the info,I have emailed the Te Rangihouriri Marae for information,I am just guessing...........!
cheers mancini

From William Grey NICHOLLS (Susans brother) obituary.

At Te Aroha yesterday there passed away one of the oldest and most respected residents of Ohinemuri district in the person of William Grey Nicholls, at the age of 61 years.
The late Mr Nicholls was universally known and respected throughout the district, and his memory will be held in high respect for many years to come.
William Grey Nicholls was born at Coromandel in the Auckland provincial district on December 26th, 1853.

His father, the late William Nicholls, came from Falmouth, Cornwall, England, and arrived in New Zealand as a passenger by the Aurora. The Aurora landed her passengers at Petone Beach early in 1840.
From Wellington, Mr Nicholls, senior, went north to Tauranga (Bay of Plenty), where he settled for a few years as a farmer, and met and married Hira Te Whakaawa, eldest sister of Te Moananui, chief of the Ngaiterangi tribe. Mr G. W. Nicholls is thus descended, on his mother's side, from an ancient Maori tribe, whose members trace back their descent to Te Te Rangihouhiri, who lived in the Bay of Plenty district about ten generations ago

Hi Mancini & Zephyr

I have in my family Tree a

Catherine Anne NICHOLLS born in Falmouth 8 May 1839. 
Catherine Anne  came to NZ (Date unknown)
About 1858 Catherine married  Thomas HENWOOD a widower in Auckland.
 
Catherine's parents were William NICHOLLS and Anne PARKYN

Is this just coincidence or a connection ?
