Descendants of John Ebenezer Black
« on: Wednesday 17 October 12 21:06 BST (UK) »
I am a student of the Black family of Ford Forge, Northumberland. John Ebenezer Black 1836 to 1900 emigrated to Southland and established a farm he named "Heaton". I would be interested to see where he settled and meet any descendants when next we visit New Zealand.

Greetings from Southland

While not a family member I would be pleased to assist you gather any information or locate the"Heaton Farm". 

There are many Black family members interred throughout Invercargill and Southland.  However with a few basic searches I cannot locate anyone with the name given "John Ebenezer Black" in Southland or anywhere else in New Zealand.  This includes a farm named "Heaton".

Perhaps a little more information might assist.

Welcome to PM any information if you wish.

I see from "paperspast.natlib.govt" that John Ebenezer Black was a candidate for the election of Mayor.

See 'Southland Times' dated 21.7.1883.
