Putting a Mistake Right!


So far, touch wood, I have had only a couple of mistakes in my books on immigrant ships.  Mistakes are terrible when published in print and I always get a sinking feeling when I learn of them.  In my book on the ship Lancashire Witch I have made a mistake of epic proportions and need to put it right somewhere.  I'm using my blog to correct it.

The 1867 journey of the Lancashire Witch included four prostitutes of the lowest grade and Eliza Trumper, "far gone in family way," as was written on an official document in the archives.  Click here to view the document.

Now one could presume that Eliza had been lumped in with the "prostitutes," or rather, a few women who caused a bit of trouble or had slightly lower morals than the majority on that ship.  I'm pretty sure now that Eliza did no wrong.

While researching the book I traced the baby that Eliza had in Christchurch and followed him to Hastings.  This research was correct.  Eliza then seemed to disappear from the records apart from a marriage for an Eliza Trumper that seemed to match exactly.  Age, place of birth, area of marriage etc all matched.  I presumed this was the same Eliza as she didn't have a common name and this was in the early days of Christchurch when there weren't that many people and you could easily track a person's movements.  Well haven't I learnt a lesson.  A relation has since contacted me and said that this wasn't the correct Eliza.  I was wrong.

Eliza Trumper had a cousin by marriage named Eliza Trumper!  So there were two Eliza Trumpers in Christchurch at a similar time.

So what actually happened to the Eliza Trumper on the ship Lancashire Witch?  She was a good girl and was already married, her maiden named being Williams.  She was travelling out to New Zealand to meet her husband James Trumper, who had travelled out earlier.  This was common practice as often the family couldn't afford to all come out at the same time and relations were sent for or waited for the opportunity to get a free passage (like Eliza).   Why did Eliza end up on the official list with the prostitutes?  I have a couple of theories which I will never be able to prove or disprove.

  1. Did Eliza withhold the fact she was pregnant and had a husband in NZ?  This would not have gone down well as the colony was after single women domestic servants and they gave free passage to these women.  Once married or pregnant, a woman often stopped working and being useful to the Provincial Government.  Eliza suddenly became useless to the colony.
  2. Did they suspect Eliza was unmarried and pregnant?  They often didn't believe young women who said they were "meeting their husband" in the colony.  Maybe she got treated very unfairly.    

Eliza and her husband only had the one child.  They apparently moved back to England at some stage but Eliza's death can not be found by family members. What happened to her is a mystery?

The other Eliza Trumper married Samuel Derbidge and had a large family.  She was a completely different lady, who came out to New Zealand on the ship Huntress.

Ok, I feel better now for putting right a wrong.

Sepia Saturday 255: Handcrafts

Well I don't know any silhouette artists like the picture for this weeks Sepia Saturday, but my great great grandmother, Mary, was into handcrafts such as embroidery.  So I'm posting a photo of her with some other ladies who also look like they were into embroidery and other crafts.


From left to right:  Jessie Susan Wright nee Harris and two children, unknown girl, Mary Lord nee Meng and likely her daughter Elise May Lord (known as May), unknown child and woman.

This photo was most likely taken in Ohoka, as Jessie and Mary lived in Ohoka at this time (around 1898).  The unknown girl of about age sixteen has a black band around her white sleeve, indicating that a family member has recently died.

The woman on the right who is unnamed, has some close relationship to Mary as she is in a family wedding photo that I own.  I have no idea who she is however!  Very frustrating.

I like the way the photo is set up.  It is casual but has a sheepskin on the ground for the children to sit on and a couple of cushions, also a rug I think, to add a tiny bit of luxury.  Behind are what look like some hollyhocks and climbers going up a fence.  Where the photo was taken exactly, I have no idea, but it was likely in Ohoka in someones back garden.  I like the way the babies in the photo have gone blurry as they wouldn't sit still long enough to capture their wee faces correctly.  So they are still a blur over 100 years later.

The Harris and Meng families must have been very close and were friends their whole lives.  Mary and the Harris girls would have gone to Ohoka School together in the 1870s.  I can imagine them as young Mums getting together to do their craft work and have a cup of tea occasionally!

We still have many pieces of craft work done by Mary.  I'm guessing she probably did the dress on May Lord who is sitting on her lap.

Sepia Saturday 254: Couples on the water

I'm writing again about my grandparents and their adventures on the water. My Pop, Grant, who was known as Jack, owned a boat which he took out fishing etc. My Grandma Doreen was a keen fisherwoman also. The photo from this weeks Sepia Saturday of a couple crossing a river, reminded me of one I have taken on Lake Forsyth on what appears to be a leisure trip in about the 1960s.


The hill behind the clinching couple on the Sepia Saturday website, looks a bit like the hill in the following photo.  But that is where the likeness ends.  Most of us Kiwi women get our feet wet.  Out of necessity and the willingness to get dirty and try anything.  My Grandma obviously had to get out and push the boat as well.  Many hands make light work.  NZ women are not scared of a bit of dirty cold water.  She is in a lovely dress that she would have sewn herself (Grandma was a dressmaker).  And she has a scarf on her head.  It looks fairly windy as her dress is blowing against her legs. 


This lake sits between Birdlings Flat, a stark and wonderful stoney beach with wild waves and extreme weather conditions, and Little River, a very small town which sometimes turns in to a river during flooding events. It is a great wee community and a lot of artists and alternative lifestyle people live there. Lake Forsyth these days is quite full of algal blooms and general disgustingness due to it being often land locked and the effluent from surrounding cow farms flowing into it. Too much nitrogen, perfect for algae to grow! My Grandma said that in the past they used to open up the sea entrance to the lake to let the fresh seawater in, but this is not always done these days. I wasn't sure why, but have just read on wikipedia that these attempts at opening up the lake didn't improve the water quality very much. I went sailing on this lake once and was warned not to fall in as I would end up with some sort of gastro bug or poisoning from algae. Anyway back to the fishing couple. Here is another photo of that day but with more people in the boat and a small boy onshore.


I don't know who the extra people are in the boat and can't really recognise them.  The boy on shore could have been my Uncle Bill, but I can't see enough of him.

I have taken photos of this lake with amazing reflections and have also painted this scene, so know every crack and line well. It is a fascinating, yet very polluted lake.

Dora Agnes Jenkins - a lovely photo

I often mention about my wonderful collection of old photos and how I can't name many of them as no one has written on the backs of them. Well the other day I decided to research one of the few photos that was actually written on. The name on the back said "Dora Agnes Jenkins" aged 4, July/15 1893. This photo was taken in Wellington and is now 121 years old. Amazing when you think about how old it is.


Dora Agnes Jenkins
I had no idea who Dora was so started doing some research. I found that she was born in 1887 to Francis John and Sarah Oram Jenkins. Who they were, I had no idea. I then found out that Dora never married in her lifetime and died in 1963 aged 77. This made me want to find out more about her. She probably had no children and therefore no grandchildren or great grandchildren to remember her when she was gone. And there is probably no one else researching her except me. It is quite sad really.

I tried to find when the family had arrived in NZ and found them on the ship Hereford in 1879 arriving into Canterbury with the following family members listed:

Francis J. Jenkins aged 33 of Middlesex, compositor
Sarah Jenkins aged 28
Frank M. J. aged 7
Melville A. F. aged 4
Beatrice aged 1

They also had more children in New Zealand, Arthur Edwin, 1881, Charles Alexander in 1883, Alfred Oram in 1885 and Thomas William, 1893.

I'm guessing this family got to know my family somehow through being neighbours or going to the same church, so I searched some more.  I couldn't find any obvious links.  I couldn't find the history of the family in Christchurch and I am pretty sure they were not related to my family.  The photo was taken in Wellington, so it is assumed the family lived there, not in Christchurch.

I found out that her father passed away in 1905 of a workplace accident at the Government Printing Office.  Dora's mother Sarah had received some compensation but wanted more.  She would have been struggling to survive.  Sarah remarried in 1909 to Mr. Rees Watkins of Petone. Dora Jenkins wore a pretty dress of white muslin and was one of the bridesmaids. She would have been 22 at the time and probably quite lovely.

Dora though never married and I can't find anything else about her.  Hopefully she had a good life.  She was a dear little girl in the photo!

Sepia Saturday 253: Angling and fishermen

My Pop was a keen fisherman.  I'm posting this very special picture of him fishing at the mouth of the Kaiapoi River where it feeds into the Waimakariri River, Canterbury, New Zealand.  His name was Grant but everyone called him Jack instead for some strange reason.  He was a watersider, so took loads off ships.  He did his back in hooking great big loads and carrying them on his poor back.  He was also a Kiwi joker - pranks, nicknames for people and general craziness.





On the day of this photo in 1947, he was trying to catch salmon whilst standing on a Waimak Flattie, a kind of flat boat which was commonly used on this large braided river to get around.  He is using an old fashioned cane fishing rod.  Did he have success that day?  No, not according to my Grandma.

My Grandma was sitting on the bank embroidering.  She was with her parents.  Grant was her boyfriend.  I'm guessing my photographic great grandfather Arthur Cyril Pearce took this photo.  My Grandma carried this photo around with her, showing everyone her new boyfriend.  The photo became creased and worn out.  We found it in one of her old albums and she was surprised to find it.  I had never seen it before and instantly loved it.  I took it home and took out the creases with photoshop. 



As I was doing the repair work on the photo, I noticed how young my Pop was.  He still had the lankiness of youth, but quite muscley arms from all the labouring type work he did.  He also had a baby face.  His tongue is hanging out in concentration as he casts out.

In the distance you can see other boats, other anglers trying their luck in the Waimakariri.  Grant is casting towards Stewart's Gully which is a little bunch of cottages and holiday homes where my Grandma used to go for holidays and where she first met Grant. 


My grandparents fished all their lives, catching many fish and having many adventures and lovely experiences in nature.  My Pop died very young, in his 50s.  I knew him until I was about five years old, so can't remember him very well.  At his funeral everyone laughed when they saw a sticker on the back of his car which read, "Old fishermen don't die, they just smell bad."

Sepia Saturday 252: An Anniversary for the Ohoka School

In 1937 it was the Diamond Jubilee for the Flaxton-Ohoka School.  I don't have any pictures of the event but I do have a menu and schedule of events for the evening. 

The function was held at the Wetheral Grain Store, a building which I'm guessing doesn't exist anymore. I wonder how fancy this place was or whether it was just a big shed? Wetheral is a teeny place between Kaiapoi and Ohoka.  It was held on 20 October 1937 at 6.30pm.  I'm guessing my Great Grandma Dorothy Pearce nee Lord would have attended this since she attended the Ohoka school many years before. 

The menu is interesting.  It was called a "banquet" and consisted of ham, tongue, corned beef, salad and bread.  As well as savouries, cakes, pastry, fruit salad, trifle and cream.  The drinks consisted of tea, coffee and soft drinks.  No booze at this party!

People mentioned in the schedule of events included Rev. H. Cottom who said grace.  M. Holton and Mrs S. L. Orchard who helped to cut the Jubilee Cake.  Toasts were made to Parliament, the education board, ex-pupils, school teachers past and present, the school committee past and present, the ladies and the newpapers.  People involved included Mr. Mayer, Williams, Banks, Spencer, Steele,  Wright, Knight, Newnham, Heald, Martyn, Ivory, Orchard and Mrs Ostler and Miss Parkin.

The brochure was printed by Kaiapoi Record Print and there was a space on the back for autographs but my Great Grandma got none that night and her programme was left blank. 

Does anyone else have old menus in their photo collections?

Mehrtens Family Photos

I have two photos in my photo collection which I know to be from the Mehrtens family as they have things written on the back.  One is of Eunice Evelyn Mehrtens aged one.  She was born in 1916.  Her photo has the most information on the back and is a good place to start.




Eunice was the daughter of Robert Mehrtens and Sarah Ann Burgess of Ohoka/Kaiapoi area.

Robert's parents were Jurgen Mehrtens (known as George) and Catherine Dietjin who lived in Ohoka.

They must have been neighbours to my ancestors, the Meng family who were also German.  I'm guessing that they all travelled to the German Church at Oxford and helped each other on their farms and were generally good friends.  I am also guessing that we have many unnamed photos of them in our vast photo collection.  I have managed to find some that match from the one named photo that I have.  This photo was named by my great grandma who was born in 1900.  My Mum has written "Mehrtens Family" on the back.  Could the man be Robert, the father of the young Eunice Mehrtens.  I am unsure however who the two women are.  They look rather young but too young to be his daughters. (update:  This is likely to be Robert with his sisters Anna Maria Mehrtens and Jeanne Catherine Johanna Mehrtens who was a spinster who lived until 29 years old, dying in 1915.  She was a lot younger than the rest of the family)






There was another photo with the same man in it.  What do you think?  Robert Mehrtens had three sisters that lived to adulthood.  His parents lived until they were quite old.  I'm pretty sure now that this is a portrait of Jurgen Mehrtens and his wife Catherine and four children, taken circa 1910.

UPDATE:  Since posting this, my surmising has been proven correct.  The lady in the top right corner has been identified as Anna Margaret Mehrtens born in 1869.  Her brother was Robert Mehrtens (bottom right) and her parents Jurgen and Catherine Mehrtens.  This is exciting stuff!  The lady in the middle appears to be a bit younger than the other two.  Could this be Anna Maria MEHRTENS  born 1875, so what happened to her - appears she died a spinster in 1927?

There was an older sister to Anna Margaret named Catterina Christina MEHRTENS born in 1867.  Could this be the lady on the left.  Highly likely


One of their children was born about 18 years after Anna Margaret.  She was named Jeanne Catherine Johanna MEHRTENS  born in 1885.  I think she may be in the photo with Robert and his other sister Anna Maria above.   Could this photo have been taken not long after Jeanne's passing as they are all wearing black, so circa 1915? There are still a few unanswered questions, so if anyone can identify the people in the photo positively, I would love to hear from you!




The photo below, if you look at the three sisters closely there are similarities, could this be a photo of the three oldest sisters? I'm pretty certain this is them as the girl on the left looks like Anna Margaret, the one on the right like Catterina and the middle one is the youngest of the three Anna Maria.  They are a lot younger here.  There is nothing written on the back of this photo.   Further research needs to be done and a positive identification needed on the photo!



I also have another photo of one of the women in the above photo (who again looks a bit like Anna Margaret), taken even earlier, about early 1880s.  So if anyone is related to this family, please contact me so I can confirm whether these are the correct people!

Please click here to also see my blog on my German photo album which may have photos of the Mehrtens family.  The third photo down could again be Mehrtens related!  Of a young girl standing in a 1870s style dress.



And there is yet another photo which  I feel could be the Mehrtens family as well.  However this is very hard to prove.  This man has the same style of beard as Jurgen Mehrtens when he is older, however his wife doesn't look anything like the old lady sitting next to old Jurgen.  It could be the same person who has changed so much due to old age.  She appears to have lost her teeth in later life.  Could this be them in 1866 after they married.  My ancestors had a similar photo.  Often clothing was hired for photos and this dress is quite unusual.  I may be completely wrong here and this needs documented proof.




Sepia Saturday 250: A hand coloured photo which led to finding old autographs!

Ok, so I'm late late late!  I decided to post this anyway as it was a nice circular story.

In a previous Sepia Saturday (click here for more stories) I have talked about how I managed to name a whole lot of photos in my old albums due to an email from someone wanting help on their family.  One of these photos was a nice hand coloured one of Clara Elizabeth Baker (known as Lizzie Baker).  She was a very pretty woman.  One of the themes for this week was hand colouring and this has been ever so slightly hand coloured in the cheek area and maybe elsewhere as well!





Anyway, through one of the Baker family contacting me, I have received these beautiful autographs from my Great Grandma (who this blog is named after) Dorothy Wingfield Lord and her sister Elise May Lord (known as May).




They did little paintings and wrote beautiful little sayings that they knew.  Or did they copy these from a book they had?  I'm not quite sure how old autographs worked.  If anyone can comment below on the old hobby of collecting autographs, I would really appreciate it.





Anyway, I received these in the post on a day I had been trying out my new camera.  I had been taking lots of photos of forget-me-nots in my garden.  And what was written about and painted by May Lord all those years ago?  Forget-me-nots!  I was blown away by the coincidence!







So from a hand tinted sepia photo we jump 100 years to a colour photo taken on a modern mirrorless camera, wth a lot of sychronicity along the way!

Sepia Saturday 251: Beards

I'm posting the following photo as part of Sepia Saturday.  Please click here to view more Sepia Saturday photos and stories.

This photo has two men with beards.  But there is a third man in the photo and he obviously wasn't present when the photo was taken, or was deceased.  He has been not so cleverly added into the photo for some reason.  Maybe this is a four generations photo pasted together because one of the generations was not present at the time. 

On the back of the photo is written  "Lena Grandfather"

I'm not sure who Lena is but she may be the little girl in the photo and one of the men may be her Grandfather, or the Grandfather of the person who wrote on the back of the photo.

I have German ancestry and Lena is generally a shortened version of Magdalena.  Maybe this family shot has something to do with my family.  Maybe it is just family friends.  My German ancestors has a lot of German friends after they came to Christchurch, New Zealand.

Whoever this photo is from, it is very interesting.  Again, I just wish my ancestors had written on the backs of their photos!

Sepia Saturday 249: Old Transport and an amazing discovery!

I'm writing about old transport and an amazing discovery for Sepia Saturday 249. Please see click here for more amazing Sepia Saturday stories. The following photo I just obtained a couple of hours ago from V. Baker who is currently one of three people who is helping me with some amazing genealogical discoveries. She sent me this postcard of the Ohoka Store with store transport sitting outside ready to deliver the groceries. The postcard was sent probably between 1913 and about 1919 from Mary Lord nee Meng to her friend Lizzie Baker (Clara Elizabeth Baker nee Harris). Mary was my great great grandmother.






There was a lovely message on the back too:



This postcard is interesting because of the relationship to me but also because of the historic nature of the photo. The Ohoka general store no longer exists. It was in the small town at a time when travelling long distances into Christchurch was not a daily occurance. The local store was much needed, as were the other tradesmen in the Ohoka township. I had heard about this store but had never seen a photo of it before so it is exciting to share it here.

How did I come to receive this postcard? Well, a few day ago I was emailed by a lady looking for her Baker family in Ohoka and she had come across my blog. I am not related to the Baker family but I said I had some Baker photos, taken from about 1915 to the 1920s. I didn't know anything about these Bakers apart from the fact their names were Tom and Lizzie Baker. And I had no idea what Lizzie looked like as a young girl. This lady suggested that it may be Clara Elizabeth Harris and her husband Thomas Henry Baker. I then did some digging and found an amazing photo album online with photos of Lizzie (aka Clara Elizabeth). This album has three of my relations in it as well as photos of Clara Elizabeth Baker who fills my old album from the 1890s and earlier. I found the same photos plus different ones. I managed to name so many of the photos now that it is a huge breakthrough. I have stared at these photos for twenty years, and in the last five years have really tried to do detective work, often without success.

The blog where the album is posted is an excellent one for photo buffs. You should all check it out. I'm blown away by it!  Early New Zealand Photographers and their successors.


Then I got the email of V. Baker, a lovely lady who I have swapped information with and who sent me the postcard. Genealogy is an amazing hobby just for the great people you meet along the way! So I can now confirm most of the photos and it is another mystery solved. Thank goodness for the Internet and other keen genealogists!

Sepia Saturday 247 - Motorbikes!








Here is a picture of William Pearce and his mum Eliza Pearce for this weeks Sepia Saturday. Click here for more wonderful sepia Saturday pictures and stories!

The picture was taken at their property on Aikmans Road, Merivale, Christchurch about 1920.  Don't you just love the old sidecar, more like a woven basket for your legs than a vehicle, with a place to put your hands under the leather weatherproof cover, to keep them warm.  Of course wearing your every day hat was necessary when posing on a bike for a photo.  From other photos we have they actually wore leather helmets a bit like aviators wore.  I don't think they would have protected the head very much.

We have dozens of these motorbike photos and even a photo of a bloke's shed from the 1920s with car and bike parked up inside.  I'm so lucky to have them.

Sepia Saturday 246: Tents!

The following photos are of the Pearce boys and an unknown friend or relation in a cute tent.  The photo was taken around 1920.  We are not sure where they are camping but it is probably somewhere quite local to the Christchurch region, New Zealand.  It looks like dry hard ground they are on and there is a building visible on the left hand side. 

One can imagine the excitement that two smaller boys would have had camping out for the night.  It looks like they are fairly well set up as it looks like some kind of lamp hanging in the back of the tent.

The Pearce family had four boys and from photos we have, they were into hunting, camping, travelling and lots of boys stuff.  My great grandad Arthur Cyril Pearce was also into photography, hence why we now have these wonderful pics from the past.

From left to right are Albert Pearce, William Pearce, Walter Pearce and a friend! And behind the camera was my great grandad!

The John Temperley: New Zealand Immigration Ship 1865-1866

Please buy my book on the ship John Temperley which is now published and ready to go.  It is called "The John Temperley:  New Zealand Immigration Ship 1865-1866," published by Rock Your Boat Publishing.

The story of the John Temperley:

"Of the female immigrants, “ten were prostitutes and four ballet dancers.”

"The scandalous newspaper reports told of wild single women on board the immigrant ship John Temperley.  But what really happened on the voyage?  Were the women named as “prostitutes” and “ballet dancers” really that bad?"

"This book explores the John Temperley’s journey to Auckland in 1865 and the notorious voyage to Lyttelton in 1866, using first hand accounts and official documents.  It delves into the lives of the single women on board and uncovers the joys, sadness and tragedies of their lives."

The Ship Zealandia: Immigration Ship 1869-1902

Our new book is called: "Shaw, Savill & Albion Co.'s Zealandia: Immigration Ship 1869-1902" by Marolyn Diver and Belinda Lansley.

It is finished and is available on Trade Me right now (July 2014).  If you live overseas it is available on Amazon in your respective country.  Please buy it to find out more about your ancestral ship!  There are details of the journeys inside, passenger lists and biographies, and what it was like to travel on the Zealandia.  When you buy our books it helps us to research, write and fund more of these books, thereby preserving New Zealand history in print.

The blurb for our book is:

"Over the span of 34 years Zealandia successfully ferried over 4000 immigrants, tourist and gentry alike to New Zealands fair shores. With 32 voyages completed she was one of Shaw, Savill & Co.'s most successful immigration ships. But her career was by no means spotless. Launched under the dark cloud of scandal and rumour caused by rival shipping companies, her long successful career was marred by two major tragedies. A fatal collision with the ship Ellen Lamb, and the tragic death of a well respected Captain during a hurricane. 

With the help of shipboard diaries, descendants information and written first hand accounts, the majestic and loyal Zealandia's story is restored and brought back to life."

NOTE:  Please make sure you have the correct ship before buying as we can't give refunds.  There was another ship called Zealandia which ran from 1858 to 1867.   We have not written about this ship, only the later ship which ran from 1869 -1902.

Here is the beautiful and elegant cover design by Strawberrymouse.
