Hello Michael,
We are cousins and I have your father's surname in my database as "Gardiner". Unfortunately, I do not have any other names so your post is very welcome. I met your aunt, Mavis Campion, nee MacDonell, when she lived in Hawera many years ago. Your mother and Mavis were sisters, I think. Lesley and Margaret were daughters of Alexander Cumberland Reed Scott MacDonell who was born in Bulls, New Zealand, in 1871. He had two wives; the first was Margaret McDonald and the second was Flora Cameron. Flora was the daughter of Alexander's cousin, Samuel Cameron. Of interest is the fact that both wives were descended from Archibald MacDonell and his wife Annie MacRae, who settled in Parewanui, Bulls. I would like to receive any information about your family, if you would not mind. I could then upgrade my database which I am very slowly completing now. I have quite some way to go, however. I look forward to hearing from you. Kindest regards, Lindsay.
