Hello my name is Sasha I am a 9th generation from George and matire sinclair. I coke the line of Heeni (jenny) sinclair and hare napia grandson Te Ahitopere arena napia. Honestly looks like he have married his niece Rahema Whakaeke from his sister Rawinia.... their youngest and last born is Amiria ahitorpere arena it looks like possible difficulty birth as Rahema  has passed the same year amiria is born. Two years later approx he's has a child with his second w8fe. Takangaroa. I coke from amiria only daughter violet ik her mokopuna. I have no picture but I am willing to travel to uru0a and collect information on behalf of those that cannot do it because.of.life.  I can get pictures from tauwhara portraits though if they are named. Tauwhara is across from waimate missionary house.

George sinclair + matire matiaha = heeni  ruhia and irihapeti

Hare napia + heeni sinclair = arena te au napia

Arena te au napia + Hana kingi takurua = hare ,rawinia tamati, te ahitorpere and henare

Te ahitorpere + rahema whakaeke = te rangi(k.i.a I was always told, his picture is at tauwhara marae right hand side half way down) marara and amiria

Amiria + ?kingi ÷ cissy (violet)

Cissy + Barry = rowena

Rowena + david = me

Hi,

My name is Faith ,my mother was Ruiha Young nee Ueke ,her grand mother was Ruiha Ueke nee Sinclair. I only recently became interested in genealogy as my daughter and I really want to uncover the "George Sinclair" mystery.
My daughter has been researching on Ancestry with thru-lines and DNA matches. This method uncovers truth of bloodlines which can be very confronting and exciting at the same time. This is because there was much inter-marrying .
Matire's(1819) father  was a Ngapuhi chief called Te Tupua .Her mother was also called Matire Paora Toeke(1794) and this has caused a lot confusion in family trees. In history Paua Te Aniwa is recorded as her mother but she is mother to Riperata. Definitely from Ngapuhi ,Te Horo Pipiwai, not Te Horo Wellington as we first thought. Matire's half-sister was priestess Riperata Maumau Te Tu Pua who married Mathew Farley. Matire was first married to Titore Taku (Ngapuhi war chief who took over tribal land in Russell not long before he passed from war wounds in 1837. This left Matire Taku, a widow in Russell at the age of 18.There is this part of history that results in the birth of 3 sisters who were reputedly left at Waimate North Mission. Matire later re-married and became Matire Matiaha .
We havent totally solved the "George Sinclair " but have some theories that we do not feel comfortable sharing as it all needs more work.
If anyone has more information we would love to hear from them. We are also seeking someone from both Elizabeth and Heeni's lines so we can continue our bloodline search and verify results. I hope this helps all of us solve the mysteries on this line.
