BAIN family: James and Marion with children John, Catherine and James. James and Marion are my 3 x Great Grandparents. Catherine Leeds BAIN, married John Patterson MUIR at Dunedin on April 24th 1867. Their daughter Agnes Patterson MUIR married James WOOLHOUSE at Reefton Buller on February 13th 1890. If you have a connection with this family or would like to know more please contact Peter J Smith.

GREY family: William GREY, farmer, and Elizabeth ARCHBOLD married on 19 July 1821 in Cornhill, Northumberland. With their seven children they sailed from London on the LARKINS arriving in Port Chalmers on 11 September 1849 and settled at Waihola, Otago. Most of the children married and stayed in the area. Their daughter Eliza Patience GREY married Thomas DAVIDSON on 12 October 1870 in Waihola. The couple settled in Tuturau, Tokomairiro (Milton), naming their farm "Bamburgh" after a landmark castle in Northumberland. Management of the farm was taken over in the late 1890’s by their daughter Mary Patience DAVIDSON and her husband Archibald GREGORY (my great-grandparents). If you are interested in this family please contact Jenny Stewart.
