hi Cordelia
Thank you so much for the e-mails with such great additions to our ancestry!!!This is all very exciting, and I know my mother (Richard's grand daughter) will be fascinated.I will add them to our data base over the weekend and get back to you with more detail of our end of things.
I also heard from David Archer who has written to this Genealogy forum as well, and he has also filled in some gaps, which connect with Richard and William.Strangely enough I met a woman recently who has lived in NZ for many years and who has English connections to the Hellaby's and never got around to following it up, but was aware of my connection with the family.It is a small world!!
We have the information in 'Stock in Trade' and my great aunt was interviewed for the book by the author, Dick Scott.By 1973 she was the only surviving child.There is another book 'An Auckland Network' by Angela Caughey 1988, Shoal Bay Press, ISBN 0 908704 05.It has a more family orientated look at the Hellaby's along with a handful of other established Auckland families who were instrumental in developing Auckland's original large companies.There was a limited edition of 500, of which we have one, and I don't know if it was reprinted.
I would welcome you contacting me through our private e-mail, [email protected] as I could send you some files as attachments then.
kind regards,Gillian
