Hope your willing to extend that offer Rhys as I would be definately interested in obtaining some whakapapa it has been challenging for me to peice together as I live in Germany (although I have fond memories of learning it at both the Torere and Umupuia Maraes -makes me homesick thinking about it)
next question since we all seem to be trying to trace Thomas -I noted the Auckland library had a a few books on Waiheke Islands History.Including one on early settlers has anyone read it?Ive asked the Waiheke Library to put a notice on their board asking for any information -folklore or stories? I see Thomas is mentioned in the Manakaus Journey online and his land purchases are referred to in the Conservation vision for Rangitoto and Motutapu Islands.He purchased the former along with Te Huriri block(1839),Waiheke and Rakino plus Otata islands in 1840.
Nguengues lihograph by George French Angus was done in 1846, and is accompanied by the following text Standing double portrait of a young woman wrapped in pom-pom cloak,with kaka-beak flowers in her hair, her son in a kiwi feather cloak standing behind her. (son was James)
Nguengue was the daugher of Tara (plate 34) and the wife of Thomas Maxwell. They lived on Waiheke Island with several children, untill after the death by drowning of her husband, when she returned to her village Omupuia(near Auckland) She was of the Ngati Tai iwi.
So I think the year 1842 could be right for the drowning event but would be keen to know if anyone has checked out WHO? was at the lands claim meeting on 6th September 1844 confirming his title for Rakino(or Hurakia),Motutapu and Otata Islands. Im not sure if these land deeds would have to include his birth details or not but figure its worth following up on.Looking for some feedback on this one as it seems pointless if we are going over well trodden territory any and all ideas welcome markonijoy@aol.com
