MACAREE family: The first record of the Macarees is the marriage of John Macaree to Martha Eaton on 3 Jan, 1803 at St Dunstan, Stephney, London. The Macarees may have come from Edinburgh as a McCree is noted in Brittens book as clock and dial maker in 1820. This may be Johns father as John would have moved to London before this date. John and Martha were the parents of Joseph Macaree, born 28 Dec 1817 at Bethnal Green. Joseph was also a watchmaker and he married Harriet Harman. Together they had 8 children, including Edward who was born in 1844 at Hoxton. The Swindell and the McCree watch-making families must have known each other. Edward married Sarah Swindell on 20 Dec, 1864, when he gave his address as 5 Kings North Place (the Swindells address). This was a convenient ploy to avoid a costly marriage license because church bans could then be read within the one parish boundary. At the time of the marriage he gave his occupation as a marbler and grainer. A marbler is one who stains paper or other material to look like marble and a grainer paints imitation grain on wood. In 1881 Joseph and Harriet are recorded in the census aged 64 and 65 and living at 38 Chart St., Shoreditch. Sarah (Sally) and Edward (Ted) lived in Pimlico Walk, Shoreditch. Five children were born in London: Emma (1867 who was dumb from illness contracted on the journey to New Zealand), Joseph (Joe - 1869-1947, m Maude), James (Jim - 1871, the showman of the family), Elizabeth (Lizzy - 1873 m Charles Snelling), Charles (1876-1947, m Lena, m Edith). There must have been correspondence between the Swindells, who emigrated to Christchurch in 1866 on board the John Temperley, and the Macarees in London, till finally the Macarees, as assisted emigrants and helped financially by Joseph Swindell, also came to New Zealand on the "Cardigan Castle" on Sept 30 1876. The ship arrived in Lyttelton on January 6, 1877 but there was much illness on board and the passengers were quarantined on Ripa (women) and Quail (men) Islands for a further 3 weeks. It must have been a time of great rejoicing and excitement when the families were finally together and it is told that in the confusion Jim was left behind on the Lyttelton docks. The Macaree family lived at many residences in Christchurch painting and decorating them to reduce the rent but finally they lived at 28 Harrow Street. Ted worked for W.C.Joughin, painter and paperhanger at 22 Harrow St. There were a further six children born in Christchurch, making 11 in all: Harriet (1878-1955, m Bill Ingham), Henry (Harry - 1880-1954, m Maggie), Rose (1883-1953, m Cleave Joughin0, Ellen (Nellie - 1886, m George Robertson), Matilda (Tilly - 1888-1966, m Arthur Dillamore), Ray - 1891, m Amy Taylor) and George (1894-1970, the illegitimate son of Emma and raised in the family. Sarah Macaree and her sister Alice Gapes both worked for Nurse Maude and for Dr Orchard. Sarah was a good mid-wife and delivered all her grandchildren. They did good work for the poor of Christchurch at the turn of the century. The Macarees changed their name to McCree about 1890. They were true "Cockneys", a fun loving family who loved to get together and share each others joys and sorrows. They had exceptional wit and humour, loved to dress-up in fancy clothes and could always see the funny side of every family happening. They worked hard but never became endowed with much money. Edward died on 29 April, 1904 and Sarah on 6 July, 1920. If you have a connection with this family or would like to know more please contact Graeme Russell |

POWER family: (photograph) Edmund 1847-1922 & Margaret (nee Butler) 1851-1932 made the journey after leaving their home of Waterford, Ireland with three of their children. The family soon swelled to 12 children. The Powers settled in Rangiora, and though they lived later in life in Christchurch, they are both buried in Rangiora, North Canterbury, New Zealand. Many of their descendants still live in the area. If you have a connection that you would like to share, please contact Aaron Clark, Rangiora. |

STEPHENS family: Mrs S.(sic) E Stephens and her son and daughters Robert E., Sarah E, Mary, Ann, Dora and Charlotte arrived on the Cardigan Castle and went to join Mrs Stephen sister and brother-in-law Richard and Anne Davies on their farm, Y Cyffiau, Tai Tapu. Elizabeth Stephens and her sister, Anne Davies were daughters of the Reverend James Morgan, the Vicar of Trefeglwys. Elizabeth Stephens had been widowed 2 years previously. Her husband Robert Stephens was a currier and is buried in Machynlleth Churchyard. They had lived prior to leaving Wales in Maengwyn Street, Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire, Wales. Robert was the son of John Stephens also a currier. The Reverend James Morgan's ancestry I have traced back to 1745 in Llanbadarn Trefeglwys, Cardiganshire, Wales but his wife's ancestry goes back to 1534. Anyone who has knowledge of this family or is related and would like details is welcome to contact Margaret Holmes. |

GARTERY family: John Gartery bought his family to NZ from Alderbury, Wiltshire, England accompanied by 2 of his brothers Walter and David. They all settled into farming at Cust near Oxford west of Christchurch where there are still descendant's of John farming in the Cust/Oxford area today. Walter Gartery married Elizabeth Alice Huthnance at Cust 03May1883 and they had 5 children there and 1 more in New Plymouth. They moved with the Huthnance family to New Plymouth about 1891. Tragically Walter died a few months after the birth of his youngest daughter in New Plymouth Hospital on 29Aug1892. His widow Elizabeth remarried to Henry William Busby 15Jul1893 at New Plymouth. David Gartery was present at New Plymouth in 1893 and was a witness at the wedding of Elizabeth to Henry Busby. If you have any connection to these families please contact Roger Shirley |
