I'd love some help, but not sure if I could cope with more information at the moment as I'm doing a different line at present! I have collected a few pieces from Papers Past and have started putting Charles Clarke Irons story together, intending to return to it at a later date. He was quite an interesting fellow, was said to have had afternoon tea with Charles Dickens! I have quite a large digital collection of his art works which are scattered with family around the world. I'd love to find out what else he has left here in NZ, if anything. he did write an ode and song for the Canterbury Jubilee,1850-1900, and I have recently found a catalogue for the Canty Art Society 1904 featuring his name.
