Text of the page (random words):
n the heat of a wood fired stove elizabeth died in 1934 the grandmother who never was edward horgan my father 18 at eighteen edward was an essential hand on the family farm his days would likely have begun before dawn with milking and ended late doing it again there was a constant list of farm tasks in between apart from the busy harvest season there was wood to gather and chop horse and cow manure to move fowls to be killed for the table my lovely gentle father died in 1992 he was the only person i knew on my paternal line eddie horgan the horgan family living at alma participated in a wide range of community events but sunday was their most important day the horses harnessed once more this time to carry them to mass at tarlee or hamley bridge their participation in and contributions to both community and church life were recorded in the newspapers of the day the horgan family on the linwood farm had their first car by 1926 maternal line in 1926 maria crowley o dea great grandmother turned 84 in august 1926 family stories have that she had taken to her bed after the death of her husband john in 1922 the widow maria was cared for by her daughters hannah and margaret in their home clare villa in hamley bridge also under that roof was her son michael his wife ethel and ethel s nine year old son jackie bennett another thirteen grandchildren all lived close by she had much to be thankful for she died in 1929 maria from county tipperary bridget kelly bennett great grandmother 64 bridget had been living in goodwood with her youngest son albert ron until his marriage in 1926 sometime afterwards she moved to hamley bridge where three of her children mary olive georgina and john raymond and their families were living bridget died in 1934 a goldfields romance george bennett great grandfather 67 george had separated from bridget back in 1915 at that time he was working as an electrician for the post office but where he was living by 1926 i haven t yet been able to determine george had remarried and died aged 83 in 1942 finding george and rosa georgina bennett o dea grandmother 36 a widow georgina was raising six children alone on albert street hamley bridge three teenage daughters and three younger sons life would have been hard she kept chickens and milked a cow selling the milk around town to help make ends meet the support of her deceased husband s single sisters and her own married sister and brother all of whom lived in hamley bridge may have helped along the way grandma died in 1965 when i was a teenager a fine day for a spring wedding hannah o dea horgan my mother turned 14 in april 1926 hannah began work that year as a shop assistant at finey s general store in hamley bridge she recalled in her memoir that her hours ran from 9am to 5pm monday to thursday 9am to 9pm on fridays and 9am to 1pm on saturdays she was allowed two weeks of unpaid holiday each year and any sick days were docked straight from her wage alongside all this she learned to play the organ at the catholic church and played for the children s choir dear mum died in 2013 aged 101 hannah o dea looking back at their lives i find i have a great deal to be grateful for at fourteen i was in my second year of high school boarding with other country girls i had a breadth of opportunity that was simply unavailable to any of my ancestors

national family history month 26 may 2026 the confusion in the crosbie records carved in stone an old stone in the symonds street cemetery auckland has several errors carved into its face those who paid for and placed it would no doubt have had the best of intentions but their knowledge of the exact death dates was not always correct these errors were then added in to indexes by those who carefully transcribed what they saw on the stone the errors in the death dates have multiplied across the databases the crosbie memorial stone in symonds st cemetery auckland transcriptions in the auckland cemetery lists the truth lies in the death announcements that appeared in the newspapers of the day david crosbie a three times great grandfather of my husband had migrated to new zealand shortly after his marriage to barbara clarke in 1840 there he had established a tailor s business with his wife working alongside him as a milliner he advertised fine coats for gentlemen so one might suppose that he would be well dressed to promote his business in 1859 david crosbie set off from auckland on the easter weekend with three friends the first indication in the papers of the day was a report on the 14th may reporting that one of the missing men had been found dead about a fortnight ago four men named messrs crosbie bartlet fisher and captain mclean left here in a small boat for the purpose of going to wangaproa and other places on the coast fisher we believe has since been found by the natives at waiheki described as an elderly man rather bald and having a watch in his pocket no news has been heard of the other three we fear have suffered the same fate as fisher 1 just three days later another report appeared body found information arrived in town yesterday that a body supposed from the description of the dress to be that of mr d cros bie had been picked up at brown s island it was carried into the house erected on the island 2 these notices were posted in 1859 but the inscription on the stone is 1860 the stone commemorates his death but has the wrong year david s death is not recorded in the official new zealand historical death records the inquest into the deaths is detailed in this report the tombstone erected by his daughters clearly has the date as 1860 hence the transcription into the cemetery records is a correct transcription but the year of death is 1859 it is likely that this stone was commissioned and erected after the death of the son in law charles f helander in 1893 his is the last death recorded on the stone before the words erected by the loving daughters of the above david barbara crosbie time may have erased the exact year of their father s death from their memories 1893 when charles died was 44 years after david s death and there was no official record to check their mother barbara had died in 1878 so she was no longer there to correct any misconceptions david and barbara crosbie had six children five girls and just one boy the second name on the stone is that of the eldest daughter elizabeth here the stone clearly reads 24th october 1861 the death record shows that also is incorrect elizabeth crosbie in auckland death register 24th october 1860 the son was given the name john clarke crosbie his mother s maiden name as his second name his birth is recorded in 1853 his death is not recorded in the official new zealand historical death records either like his father the son also drowned the carving on the stone clearly states july 1877 his sisters all those years later must have been unsure of the year again the errors have spread across multiple databases the record is here in the newspaper of the time published on 26 july in 1871 death crosbie drowned on 7th july off rangitoto island john clarke aged 18 only son of the late david crosbie of auckland 3 the tombstones are not always correct hence databases such as findagrave and billion graves records may help spread erroneous death dates 1 auckland

box every december glowing in their original colours a silver bangle still worn three matching sets of garnet amethyst and moonstone bracelets and earrings each in silver bought from the silversmith
