Hart's Private Hotel - South Island, New Zealand

[Printer]

Hello Lu,

Goodness, that is a lot of information. Thank you. That also now eliminates E/Edward Hart. I have written to the Milton Historical Society, as was given by you and await a reply.

Yes, my Hart line did come from Birmingham. Regards.

... yep ... apologies for all that extraneous E HART info    (really did want to be able to rule him out, though.)

Hi Printer

Also wanted to ask ... do you think that Margaret was alone at Milton when she set up the private hotel ?     
 *  What of her family ... her children or any of her siblings ... might they have lived nearby ?

From reply #20........

"William Charles Hart (b 1877 Christchurch) - not much known about him"

I have not found his birth but the following would appear to be the children of your Mary Elizabeth Hart?:

1882/7456   Hart   Amy Louise   Mary Elizabeth   Alfred Henry
1880/15020   Hart   Percy Bernard   Mary Elizabeth   Alfred Henry
1886/5061   Hart   Clement Douglas   Mary Elizabeth   Alfred Henry
1884/10881   Hart   Arnold Cecil   Mary Elizabeth   Alfred Henry

Minniehaha.

Hello Lu & minniehaha,

My apologies, William Charles Hart was actually born in West Bromwich (Warks) in 1877.

When Margaret was in Milton, she had her youngest daughter, Joyce, living with her. The other children were older and living in Christchurch or Wellington. But until the photo was produced, none of my generation knew anything about it. Many of Margaret's siblings also lived in Christchurch or the North Island.
