PROGRAMME FOR 2018

January 2018 Issue 121

MISSION STATEMENT: The Dunedin Family History

Group’s purpose is to promote interest in the field

of family history through educational programs, to collect and disseminate

genealogical knowledge and information, and to provide

support and guidance to those trying to research all

aspects of their family history.

14 February 2018 VALENTINE’S DAY ~ LOVE IS IN THE AIR

A look at weddings, wedding traditions, wedding dresses, marriage customs and

marriage records.

14 March 2018 DNA: The Truth is Out There ... Or is it? A presentation about some aspect of DNA

research that may surprise you.

11 April 2018 “FOR YOU THE WAR IS OVER”:

Researching Allied Prisoners of War in Europe during the Second World War.

Guest speaker: Maureen West Using her experiences in tracing her father’s

‘missing’ years Maureen will explore the records that are now available to reconstruct

the lives of these men from all around the world who spent so many years in prisons far

from their homelands. Many of these men never spoke of their experiences, or if they did,

it was of the ‘good’ times, not of the tragic and, in some cases, horrific things that they

witnessed.

9 May 2018 CEMETERIES

An overall view of researching cemetery records including a brief history of local

cemeteries. There will also be a presentation on how to correctly photograph a headstone to avoid

getting a reflection of yourself in the photograph.

13 June and 11 July 2018 There will be no meetings

Over the past four years our attendance numbers, due to weather, have been down during June and July to a point that door charges do not cover hall

hire or speakers fees. We are having to rely on donations and sponsorship to have meetings in

these months. So it has been decided that during June and July there will be no group meeting but

we will have some beginners classes to help members.

Watch this space. Please note you will still receive newsletters for June and July.

FIRST WHITE FEMALE BORN IN DUNEDIN???

Otago Daily Times 24 April 1888

The above death notice appeared in the Otago Daily Times on 24 April 1888. It indicated that Janet Williamson Fitzgibbon (nee McKay) was the first white female born in Dunedin. But is that correct? I guess it depends on which historical book you read. There is certainly some confusion as to whom was the first white female child born in Dunedin. The mistakes seem to revolve around whether a child was the first born in Dunedin or the first born in Otago. According to the late Dr Hocken’s history of Otago, the first white child born in Dunedin was a boy, John Anderson, the son of John Anderson, after whom Andersons Bay is named. He was born on 10 September 1846. Hocken also recognises that the first white female child (and the second child) born in Dunedin) was Elizabeth Kettle, the daughter of Mr Charles Henry Kettle who was the surveyor responsible for laying out the city of Dunedin. This child was born on 3 March 1847. In April 1847 Methodist minister, Rev Charles Creed was in Dunedin and on the 11 April baptised John, son of John and Isabella Anderson. On the same day he baptised Elizabeth, daughter of Charles Henry and Amelia Kettle. According to historical records he had the privilege of baptising the first white born male and female children born in Dunedin. If we consult the Presbyterian baptismal registers it would appear that Janet Williamson McKay (future Mrs Fitzgibbon, death notice above), the daughter of Thomas and Margaret McKay, was born in Dunedin on 9 June 1848. This appears to make her the second white female child born in Dunedin, not the first. However there were other female children born in the greater Dunedin area prior to Janet McKay’s birth in June 1848. Ann Winton, the daughter of William and Jean Winton was born aboard the Philip Laing while it was berthed at Port Chalmers, on 1 May 1848. She was baptised by Rev Thomas Burns on 7 May 1848. Emma Sarah Carnegie Hare, daughter of James and Margaret Hare was also born aboard the Philip Laing while berthed at Port Chalmers. She was born on 15 May 1848 and baptised on 7 May 1848 by Rev Thomas Burns. If anyone else has any additional information on the first while female child born in Dunedin, please contact the group at dfhg@xtra.co.nz

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are actually

(very distant) cousins

I am sure that over the next few months we are going to hear a lot about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leading up to their wedding in May 2018. The interesting thing is that despite growing up on different sides of the Atlantic and Meghan Markle having African American ancestry, they are actually related through Queen Elizabeth’s mother, Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon (the late Queen Mother). Meghan’s connection to the Royal Family comes from the maternal ancestors of her father Thomas Markle, an Emmy-winning cinematographer. Their common ancestor, is both their 13x great grandfather, an Englishman called Ralph Bowes. Ralph Bowes was a High Sheriff of County Durham whose family seat was Streatlam Castle. He lived from 1480-1518. His estates, through a succession of males heirs, eventually passed down to Sir George Bowes, an MP related to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (the late Queen Mother). Meghan Markle can trace her lineage back hundreds of years to when her ancestors first arrived in America. Sheriff Ralph Bowes’ granddaughter married John Hussey of Dorking, Surrey. Their grandson, Christopher Hussey, moved to America in 1632 and helped to found Nantucket, Massachusetts. But there is another connection between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle through another of Meghan Markle’s relatives, a Mary Bird (nee Smith), who came from Ireland. It was announced Meghan and Harry will marry at Windsor Castle next May, and according to Markle family history Meghan’s 3x great grandmother is thought to have worked at the Castle as a teenager, probably in the kitchens or as a housemaid. Certainly, there is an entry in the Windsor Castle Weekly Disbursement Book of 1856 for an ‘M. Bird’. Mary Smith married an English soldier, a Private Bird and emigrated first to Canada, and then to the United States of America. Meghan’s father’s side of the family also has Civil War links. Father and son Daniel and Thomas Mangle (sic) fought in Lincoln’s army in the 1860s. While another branch of her family is connected to the slave trade in America.

JOHN HAMILTON John Hamilton, an early Dunedin poet and foundation member of the Burns Club, is commemorated with a

Writers Trail plaque in the Octagon, Dunedin. Born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland in 1827, John Hamilton was one of thirteen children, of whom only three survived to adulthood. His father was a weaver in Paisley. John only attended school for seven months. He married and worked in Scotland as a foreman, factory owner, commercial traveller, photographer, and property developer; but, like many others, he was ruined financially in the crash of the City of Glasgow Bank. So at the age of

52 years he arrived in Dunedin, New Zealand having left his family in Scotland. In New Zealand John worked as a travelling bookseller and railway publicist. At first he prospered, but when he returned to Scotland in an attempt to reunite his family he encountered more misfortune. He became entangled in a disastrous lawsuit and was forced to return to New Zealand in 1885 without his family who refused to come to New Zealand with him. He saved hard and built a home for himself in Moray Place opposite First Church. He named his house “Boglestone House” and it is believed this house was on the site of what used to be the Guthrie Bowron building (now Guthrie House). He was one of the founders of the Dunedin Burns Club and was well known around Dunedin for his poetry. He published his own poems in a book entitled “The Lay of the Bogle Stone”. He died in 1893 and is buried in the Northern Cemetery, Dunedin. The grave is just inside the gates to the Northern Cemetery, almost opposite the sexton’s cottage. For more than a hundred years after his death John Hamilton's grave remained unmarked, until on 27 April 1995 a headstone was unveiled by his great-granddaughter Joyce Ryan. Several members of the Burns Club were present.

Above is the bronze plaque in the Writers Walk in the Octagon, Dunedin (directly opposite the old Town Hall). It reads:

John Hamilton 1827-1893 "Poor Robbie Burns, we are all much your debtor,

And while you lived we should have used you better; For though you lived and died in poverty;

You left to us a priceless legacy". Written and read by

the Burns Club Founder, John Hamilton at the first Anniversary Meeting 1892.

WRITERS WALK City of Dunedin

To the left is one of John Hamilton’s poems. He often wrote poem’s as part of advertisements for local Dunedin firms. In this case it was for the dentist S. Myers of the Octagon, Dunedin. But he should be remembered for his more haunting poetry and the following is the opening four lines of the poem he read at the 1st Anniversary meeting of the Dunedin Burns Club in 1892.

To me this meeting is a glorious sight, May each and all enjoy themselves tonight;

Tho’ we are fourteen thousand miles frae hame’ Remember we are Scotchmen all the same.

ABOVE: John Hamilton’s grave with its new headstone erected in the Northern Cemetery,

Dunedin.

On the grave are the words - Laboro, Spero and Exspecto. These words were carved

above the door of his home in Dunedin and mean the following:

Laboro - I work away

Spero - I hope on

Exspecto - I wait with patience for my reward

Getting Acquainted with the Revised Version of Find-A-Grave.com

By Ted Bainbridge, Ph.D. https://www.findagrave.com is a web site that collects individuals’ cemetery and other information, whether a grave marker is present or not. The site’s database includes over 165 million people’s memorials, and adds about 1 ½ million per month. It contains information from almost half a million cemeteries around the world. This free site can be searched in several ways, and its information is easy to download onto a home computer. The site is menu-driven and intuitively easy to use. Registration, which is optional and free, gives the visitor access to features that are not otherwise available. Everybody should explore the tutorials. Think of the home page as being organized into four areas:

• the main menu, near the top of the page and filling its entire width

• the search panel for individuals’ graves, which dominates the background photograph

• the link to findagrave tutorials, a blue oval button near the bottom right of the page

• other less-frequently used items, occupying the rest of the screen below the background image

Hunting A Person By far, the most common use of findagrave is hunting individuals. The simplest search is done as follows. Enter a first name in the box provided near the center of the background photo. (This is optional, but if you don’t do it you will get an enormous hit list for all but the most unusual surnames.) I recommend leaving the box for middle name blank, because grave markers usually don’t show middle names. Put a surname in the appropriate box. (This is required.) There is no option for “similar spelling” or “similar sound”, so do separate searches for each variant spelling of the first name and surname.) Click the search button. A hit list appears, showing records that match your request and headed with the count of how many records are on the list. Search the hit list for the person you want, then click that person’s name. You will see that person’s information page. (If a picture of the grave stone exists, look at it in detail. Sometimes this will show that the typed information on the page contains an error.) To save the information on that page, you can command a “print” from your computer’s operating system. Alternatively, you can scroll to the top of the page, click “save to”, click “copy to clipboard”, open the program you will use to save the information, paste the clipboard’s content into that program, and save within that program. To save the source citation scroll to the bottom of the person’s page, click “source citation”, copy the text of the cite, paste that text wherever you want it to be, and save that destination’s content within the appropriate program. The person’s page might include links to findagrave pages for relatives. Click those links to see their information. Typing only the first and last name probably will produce a hit list that is too long to read. If that happens, search for that name again but narrow the search by using the pull-down menus next to the “year born” and “year died” boxes below the name boxes you used. In addition to or instead of those restrictions, you can use the location box next to those date boxes. As you type a place into that box, an auto-fill list appears. When you see the appropriate place, select it from the list. (Typing the name and clicking the “search” button instead won’t give good results.) If you use all three restrictions and the new search doesn’t find the person you want, remove one of those restrictions and search again. If that search fails, replace that restriction and remove another one. If you fail again, repeat. If all those searches fail, use only one restriction at a time and do all three restricted searches. Repeat this process until you are successful. (But remember that not everyone is in findagrave, so all your searches might fail. In that case, try again later, remembering that findagrave adds about 1 ½ million records per month.)

Next to the “search” button you can see “more search options”. Clicking that makes the following available:

• “Famous” separates a famous person from others who have the same name. (Asking for Marilyn Monroe creates a hit list of 29 people. Going to the top of the list, clicking “refine search”, pulling down “more search options”, clicking “famous”, and then clicking “search” shows only the movie star we all know.

• “Sponsored” shows only pages that have no advertisements because somebody paid to remove them.

• “Nickname” must be checked if you ask for somebody by nickname instead of given name.

• “Maiden name” must be checked if you ask for somebody by maiden name instead of married name.

• “Partial last name search” lets you search by putting only the first letters of a first or last name in the appropriate boxes. (Requesting “wana” shows Wana, Wanamaker, Wanabaker, and other surnames that begin with those four letters; but it doesn’t list Wannamaker.)

• “No grave photo” gives only people who have no grave photo on their information page.

• “Grave photo” gives only people who have a grave photo on their information page.

• “Flowers” gives only people who have virtual flowers attached to their page. (Asking for Clarence Bainbridge without this option clicked gets five names, but clicking this option reduces the list to two.)

Hunting A Cemetery The next most common use of findagrave is hunting cemeteries. There are three ways to find a cemetery:

• On the main menu click “cemeteries” and type a name in the box provided. (This is an auto-fill box. Use it as above.) Click “search”. A hit list appears. Click the name of the cemetery you want. That cemetery’s page of information appears.

• On the main menu click “cemeteries” and type a place in the other box. (This also is auto-fill.) Click “search”. A hit list appears. Click the name of the cemetery you want. That cemetery’s page appears.

• On the main menu click “cemeteries” and type a place in the appropriate box. (This is an auto-fill box. Use it as above.) Don’t click “search” or press the “return/enter” button. Instead, look at the map. If the map doesn’t show any location markers, click the ‘+’ button near its lower right corner. Zoom in or out and pan in any direction until you see the area you want. Click any marker to see the name of that cemetery, then click the name to see its information page.

Favorite Cemeteries If you registered as a member, you can create a list of your favorite cemeteries. Go to the information page of the cemetery you want to put on your list. Near the top right corner of that page, click “add favorite” and proceed. You can create virtual cemeteries by linking interesting individuals to a collection that you create. (For examples, you might link all of your Blankenship relatives’ information pages to a group called “My-Blankenships”, or you could gather all your relatives who served in the Civil War.) Go to the page of a person you want to add to a virtual cemetery. Near the top right corner of that page, click “save to”, click “virtual cemetery”, and then proceed. At this location you can create a new v.c. or add this person to an existing v.c. Other Features The main menu at the top of findagrave’s home page includes an item called “famous”, which allows a search for a famous person, as was described above. That menu also has an item called “contribute”, which people use to add information to findagrave’s database.

DECEMBER GROUP MEETING Thank you to everyone who attended our December “Christmas” meeting. We had a good turnout and I hope everyone enjoyed the festive occasion. The meeting took the form of a display of 170 years of Dunedin businesses. It was broken down into three sections - the business of entertainment, the business of eating out and the business of retail and manufacturing (these two topics actually fitted together into one category). Looking at the history of businesses in Dunedin from their origins to their present location we managed to get through 180 slides before the gong for Christmas supper sounded. But we still had more slides to show. So in 2018 instead of our usual monthly genealogy video, which we show before each meeting, we will for the first three months of 2018 complete the December presentation and show the remainder of slides. A big congratulations to Agnes Walls on winning our Christmas raffle and to Frazer Watson, Annette Humphries, Agnes Walls and Marlene Arthur on winning our spot prizes on the evening. Thank you gifts were also presented to Heather Bray (convenor and newsletter editor), Kaye Saunders (secretary), Kevin Bray (treasurer), John Barr (webmaster), Laurel Corbishley (raffle / sales table), Susan Guthrie (supper hostess), Marlene Arthur (magazine table and supper) and Robert and Kerri Bray (setting up of hall). A special presentation was made to Natalie Eaves who retired this year after ten years of looking after the raffle table. And we thought you might like to see the t-shirt your convenor (Heather Bray) wore to the meeting.

Several members of our group have drawn our attention to this article which appeared in the Otago Daily Times 18 November 2017.

As we learn more about this work being carried out in the Lawrence Cemetery we will let members know.

BLOOPERS FROM CHURCH NEWSLETTERS

Every so often I make a blooper or two while compiling our group’s newsletter. But I don’t think the bloopers I make are quite as bad as the following from church newsletters:

Don’t let worry kill you - let the church help. This afternoon there will be a meeting in the south and north ends of the church. Children will be baptised at both ends. Wednesday, the ladies Liturgy Society will meet. Mrs Jones will sing Put me in my little bed accompanied by the pastor. Thursday at 5 pm there will be a meeting of the Little Mothers Club. All wishing to become little mothers, please see the minister in his study. This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs Day to come forward and lay an egg on the altar. At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be “What is Hell?”. Come early and listen to our choir practise.

THE OTAGO DAILY TIMES DEATH INDEX The discovery of gold in Gabriel’s Gully in 1861 led to a huge increase in the population of Dunedin, going from fewer than 2,000 inhabitants to nearly 15,000 by the end of the 1860s. Julius Vogel (1835-1899) arrived in Dunedin in October 1861 and became editor of the weekly Otago Witness. Together with the Otago Witness publisher William Cutten, Vogel started up the Otago Daily Times. The first issue appeared on 15 November 1861, making it the first daily newspaper in New Zealand, and the one with the longest history of daily publication. The Dunedin Family History Group has produced an index to the death notices from the ODT covering 15 November 1861 to 1930 and 1988 to present day. 1931 to 1987 is a work in progress. Each month we will be producing portions of the index for members use. More information is available than what is printed in our index e.g. name of spouse or parents. On occasions as much information is available in a death notice as in a pre 1876 death certificate. Please note spelling is as it appears in the newspaper e.g. Stuart Street sometimes appears as Stewart Street. There may be some death omissions in the 1860s as not all copies of the ODT appear to have survived or there are some pages missing from editions. Where there is problems with the quality of the print we have used additional sources such as the Registrar General’s index to BDMs or burial records to confirm dates or names.
