WHO ARE WE?
Adrian was born 1944 Hastings, New Zealand, son
of Cyril Henry VERRY
(1914-1980) and Audrey Mary (nee INNES) (1917-1993)
daughter of George INNES
and Mabel PAPPRILL
. Cyril's father, Arthur VERRY
emigrated to New Zealand in 1905 and married his fiancee Frances
Helena MOORE in 1907. Frances was a descendant of a MOORE
family, Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire. Arthur VERRY's
ancestry is on this site. Adrian began his interest in 1965, at
a time when family history research was regarded as a somewhat
peculiar pastime .Adrian passed
away 19 August 2009.
Maggie was born 1947 Napier, New Zealand, daughter of Kathleen Marion HERLIHY. She was adopted at two weeks of age by Robert (Bob) Andrew HEWETSON (1885-1979) and Freda Emily WILLIAMS (1907-2002). . Bob was the son of Thomas HEWETSON from Penpont, Dumfriesshire, Scotland and Ellen (Margaret) DUGGAN, from Kilcummin, Co. Kerry, Ireland. Coincidentally Margaret Duggan came from a village two miles distant from my natural mother's father, Timothy Desmond HERLIHY, Killorglin, County Kerry. Freda's parents were George Henry WILLIAMS and Violet DENNETT, both from early settler families.
I am subscribed to several Rootsweb mailing lists and enjoy offering help and advice whenever I can. I have offered a look up service on the Co. Kerry list for several years. In May 2002 we decided it was time to present a pot pouri of some of our research for the benefit of others and are grateful to Rootsweb for providing the resources for this site. References to living generations have been deliberately avoided, except where they have expressed a desire to be included. Further it is not a comprehensive account of our respective ancestry, which now fills several volumes of typescript material.
Please e-mail or write to M
Verry, 6 Grey Street, Martinborough, New Zealand if you have any
questions or additions regarding family histories on this site.
If you are researching your family or contemplating doing
so, I wish you every success.

I would like to
express my utmost thanks to Mags WYLIE of Leeds, Yorkshire,
England. Mags is married to John WYLIE who was born in Co.
Donegal and is probably a cousin of mine many times removed.
Mags has been researching John's family for many years and
having recognised a family photo on this web site contacted
me. We have shared much information over the years and have
become close friends. Because tof the same photo Mags and I
are also in conact with Julie Marks of California, who has a
connection with John's WYLIE family. It has beeb a
win, win situation for all of us.

The DUGGAN Family compiled by JOHN FINNEGAN is no longer on line. If anyone knows of this research or has contact with John, I would like to get in contact with him again.
The HEWETSON Family was almost complete when it
came into my hands. Mr KEITH
LOVAT WATSON had done a
one name study. The Penpont family was not his, but he sent the
completed typescript. A very interesting family. My nephew Michael HEWETSON is keen to
do more on this family, updating the later generations. I will
be handing over my papers to him and know he will make an
excellent job of it.
And I would like to acknowledge my late husband ADRIAN whose years of experience in genealogy and an interest in history gave me the impetus to try and find my birth family, which consists of the BEATTIE's, the McNAUGHER/McCONNOR's and the HERLIHY's.
