Do you have all the info you need on Dr George Bodle, Alfriston, NZ
eg His wife was born on circa 1867 during the siege of Lucknow - her father was a major in British army. Dr George came out to New Zealand as the ship's surgeon, also evidently with his mother plus her maid, (year circa 1874). Her maid's name was a Louisa Haines circa Brighton 1861 (who was my great grandmother). He did not establish a practice here although was registered I understand from records. He gave long faithful service to the residents and gum diggers of South Auckland (Alfriston & Brookby areas) in his capacity as a 'free' doctor. Mr & Mrs George Bodle built a lovely homestead by all accounts however it has not endured the test of time. He also built, with other residents a place known as the "Meeting House" - a Church of Christ establishment. 'Bushey Park' was the name of his farm covering an extensive area in the 1880's reaching from the Anglican Church to the junction of Ranfurly and Stratford Roads, bording the Alfriston Road opposite the Church, including the school, store and what was the Stone property in the 1970's.
I am interested in any census information on Louisa Haines (b Feb 1861 Brighton UK) and parents from Brighton, as I do not have access to it here....Can anyone assist please?
