He married Jane Stretch 02 October 1658 in Odd Rode, Astbury, Cheshire, England, daughter of William Stretch. She was born 03 April 1636 in Frodsham, Cheshire, England, and died Unknown in Cheshire, England. Notes for Hugh Lowndes: Perhaps one of the most interesting branches of the Lowndes family now found in Maryland is the line whose earliest known ancestor, Hugh Lowndes, suffered death for conscience sake. The father of Hugh Lowndes was either Christopher (or Hugh) Lowndes, who, according to tradition, disinherited his son for his Quaker principles. All the family traditions link the South Carolina, the Maryland, and the Virginia families of the Lowndes name in the tie of kinship, and the date of their united settling in the American colonies and the recurrence of the baptismal names common to all would indicate the same. The descendants of Hugh Lowndes came first to Pennsylvania and the story of their coming is best told by an inherited manuscript treasured in the family, which was written by James Lowndes, of Philadelphia, Pa., who died in the latter city December, 1830, aged 90 years.

She was the widow of Hugh Lowndes and accompanied to this country by three sons. Jane on her first arrival located her purchased land in Springfield township, upon which a cave was built that for some time accommodated the family as a dwelling. The site of this cave is marked by a stone planted by her descendants in 1799, which bears the date of the patent for the land (1685). The meeting records show the presence of Jane Lownes here in May, 1684, and she probably had arrived here a year earlier. It was usual to occupy lands a long time before they were patented." This statement settles definitely that the descendants of Hugh Lowndes came from Cheshire, ad did the South Carolina and Maryland branches of the family. CONC: Springfield, Pa Quaker Meeting House Stretch family, Cheshire England. Posted by: Jim Stretch Date: February 25, 2000 at 12:38:58 of 44 I live in the US but was born in Cheshire England. Significant locations in Cheshire are generally in the eastern part of the county: Crewe, Haslington, Nantwich, Northwich, Vale Royal, etc. Significant names are: James Henry, Harry, Jack. The name James Henry was used through at least four generations. I only have certain knowledge of my branch back to the late 19th Century. My father knew more but unfortunately all I can confirm is that some family members emigrated to the US as Quakers. I'm aware of records of of the Stretch family in Cheshire to at least to the 12th century (Hamon Stretch). Another variant of the name is Strecce (the Old English spelling). I'd be grateful for information from anyone who has it to share, and I'll do my best to help out anyone with any questions. I'm quite knowledgable about the UK generally as well as Cheshire. If anyone has a Cheshire tie up with the family names Stretch and Egerton/Edgerton, that would be astonishing.

Notes for James Lownes: The descendants of Hugh Lowndes came first to Pennsylvania and the story of their coming is best told by an inherited manuscript treasured in the family, which was written by James Lowndes, of Philadelphia, Pa., who died in the latter city December, 1830, aged 90 years. It reads as follows "James Lownes, son of Joseph Lownes, now in the eighty-third year of his age in the year of our Lord 1828 (1823??), being mindful to trace the origin of his ancestors partly from record, partly from tradition and partly from memory, beginning with his great-grandfather, who was named Hugh Lowndes. He lived in England. He was convinced of the Friends' principles under the ministry of George Fox, and was, with many others, in the time of persecution for conscience' sake, thrown into prison. He died there, leaving a widow and four sons, who embarked with William Penn for America, and settled at Springfield, Chester county, Pa. Two of the sons remained there, and reared numerous families. The third either died childless or went to some unknown place, as no account remains of him. (It is said by Rebecca Ash that he was drowned soon after their arrival in attempting to cross the Skuykill). "The fourth son, James Lownes, my grandfather, se ttled in Philadelphia. The letter "d" was at this time left out of our name; perhaps it was thought superfluous, as they four children were all boys and there were no others of the name in America. "My grandfather had six children named: (1) Joseph (2) James (3) Hannah, (4) Susannah (5) Rebecca (6) Mary. "My uncle James had one son, who died young.

Martin's "History of Chester," states that among the original purchasers of land in England, who settled in Chester, and some whose descendants are now residents there, will be found the name of Jane Lownds, now Lownes, of whom Dr. Smith says, (p. 480) she "came from Cheshire, where she had suffered persecution in the distraint of her goods in 1678 for attending Friends' meeting at Newton and Selsby. She was the widow of Hugh Lowndes and accompanied to this country by three sons. Jane on her first arrival located her purchased land in Springfield township, upon which a cave was built that for some time accommodated the family as a dwelling. The site of this cave is marked by a stone planted by her descendants in 1799, which bears the date of the patent for the land (1685). The meeting records show the presence of Jane Lownes here in May, 1684, and she probably had arrived here a year earlier. It was usual to occupy lands a long time before they were patented." This statement settles definitely that the descendants of Hugh Lowndes came from Cheshire, ad did the South Carolina and Maryland branches of the family. The lost line of Hugh Lowndes' descendants is found in Virginia, and later in Maryland, William Lowndes, a wealthy and aristocratic Quaker gentleman, who married Miss Arianna Glynn, of Wales, came to Virginia from Pennsylvania, wither, according to the family tradition, he had "come over with William Penn, but probably in the care of his father, Hugh Lowndes, who, together with his four brothers (it was the widow of Hugh Lowndes and his four sons), came over from England and settled in Pennsylvania. They were Quakers and intimate friends with their leader, William Penn." The record continues: "They do not seem to have remained Quakers very long after leaving Pennsylvania, although William Lowndes was said to have been a wealthy old Quaker gentleman, owning much property in Richmond, Va. The tradition in the family is that he was finally read out of meeting by the Quakers on account of his unorthodox views. He then became a Presbyterian and finally his family became Episcopalian, in which faith his descendants continue. After leaving Pennsylvania, William Lowndes is said to have removed the letter "d" from his name as being superfluous and out of sympathy with Quaker simplicity. His descendant, the late Charles D. Lowndes, of Baltimore, and his brothers had the letter restored to the name by act of he Legislature many years ago, and the newspaper announcement of the fact can be still read. Joseph H.D. Lowndes of Henrico county, Va., son of William Lowndes, Quaker, married Miss Arabella Sinton, of Ireland. Their son was the late Chas. D. Lowndes of Baltimore, who was born in Henrico county, Virginia, served gallantly in the Confederate army under General J.E.B. Stuart, and subsequently moved to Baltimore, Md., where he engaged in the baking and brokerage business successfully up to the time of his death, a few years ago, the firm being Brown & Lowndes, and later, Lowndes & Redwood. He married Miss Nancy Catherine Gamble, daughter of Dr. Cary Breckenridge Gamble, of Virginia, Florida, and later of Baltimore. The Gambles are related to the Preston, Cabell, Breckenridge, Wyckham, Lee, Brattan, Cary, and Selden families of the South. Dr. Gamble's wife was Edwarda Shaw, of St. Augustine, Florida, who was descended from the Bartons, of England and Ireland. Mrs. Charles D. Lowndes resides at Elkridge, Howard County, Md., and her children are Messrs. Cary Gamble Lowndes, Charles Henry Grattan Lowndes, Robert Glynn Lowndes, Edward Brecknridge Lowndes, and Miss Elise Gamble Lowndes and Miss Letitia Edwarda Lowndes. Other descendants of this Lowndes branch include a cousin of the late Charles D. Lowndes, Miss Ida Lownes, of Petersburg, Va., who still clings to the Quaker spelling of the name; also Miss Florence S. Peple, of Richmond, Va., a niece of Mr. Charles B. Lowndes; Mr. William Lowndes Peple, Mrs. Virginia Radcliffe Allen, of Galveston, Texas, who is now 91 years of age; Mrs. Charles W. Linthicum, of Baltimore, who was formerly Miss Lowndes; Mr. William Chapman Lowndes; Miss Isabel Steele Lowndes, Mrs. Albert S.J. Owens, Miss Mary Lowndes Owens, Mr William C. (??) Lowndes, Jr., Mr. Andrew Jackson Lowndes; Mr. Lucian Chas Lowndes, all of Baltimore; Mr. James Lowndes Phippen, and James Lowndes Phippen, Jr., of Philadelphia; Miss Annie Phippen, Mrs. Walter Percival Glinn, of Richmond, Va.; Mr. George C. Barnes, Miss Alice Barnes, and Miss Ada Barnes. The genealogical chart preserved in this branch of the Lowndes family is as follows: Hugh Lowndes died in prison in England during Quaker persecution. He had four sons, one of whom was James Lowndes. James Lowndes married and had the following children: (1) Joseph Lowndes, married Sarah Tidemarsh; (2) James Lowndes (3) Hannah Lowndes (4) Susannah Lowndes (5) Rebecca Lowndes and (6) Mary Lowndes.

The children of William and Arianna Wormly (Glynn) Lowndes are: (1) Josiah Hewes Davis Lowndes, who married Arabella Sinton, of Ireland, May 14, 1834; (2) Mary Glynn Lowndes, who married G.L. Davison, May 12, 1831; (3) Charles Chapman Lowndes (4) Virginia Radcliff Lowndes who married F.G. Allen in November 1834 (5) Jane Dade Lowndes, who married Mr. Roote; (6) John Henry Augustus Lowndes (7) Willianna Lowndes (8) Margaret Lowndes (9) Ann Lowndes. The children of Josiah Hewes Davis and Arabella Sinton Lowndes were: (1) Edward Lowndes, (2) Joseph Henry Lowndes, (3) Sarah Lowndes; (4) Josiah Hewes Davis Lowndes, (5) Charles Denison Lowndes, who married Nancy Catherine Gamble. The children of Charles Denison and Nancy Catherine (Gamble) Lowndes are: (1) Robert Glynn Lowndes (2) Charles Henry Grattan Lowndes (3) Edward Breckinridge Lowndes (4) Elise Gamble Lowndes (5) Cary Gamble Lowndes (6) Letitia Edwarda Lowndes. The descendants of Hon. Rawlins Lowndes, of South Carolina, includes the authoress, Mrs. Harriott Horry Ravenel (Mrs. St. Julien Ravenel), of Charleston, S.C., Mr. James Lowndes, of Washington, and Miss Katherine H. Lowndes of Baltimore. There is a New York line of the Lowndes family, supposed to descend from a contemporary of Christopher Lowndes, who settled in New York when Christopher came to Maryland. Of this line was William Edward Lowndes, whose son, John Howard Lowndes, was the father of Mr. Stanley Howard Lowndes of Northport, Long Island, NY.

Whilst doing some computer research, I noticed your name in a Bedfordshire message board. Samuel John Lowndes was born somewhere in England in the 1850's, the son of a Thomas Lowndes. In 1876, Samuel was sent to Australia by his "landed gentry" family as a remittance man" and instructed to change his name, which he apparently did to - LOWN. Do you by any chance, happen to have a Thomas LOWNDES in your family whose son Samuel John, somehow apparently disgraced the family name and was bundled off to the antipodes? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Patricia Lawson Beechworth Vic.

He married Arianna Wormly Glynn. She was born in Wales, and died Unknown. Notes for William Lowndes: The lost line of Hugh Lowndes' descendants is found in Virginia, and later in Maryland, William Lowndes, a wealthy and aristocratic Quaker gentleman, who married Miss Arianna Glynn, of Wales, came to Virginia from Pennsylvania, wither, according to the family tradition, he had "come over with William Penn, but probably in the care of his father, Hugh Lowndes, who, together with his four brothers (it was the widow of Hugh Lowndes and his four sons), came over from England and settled in Pennsylvania. They were Quakers and intimate friends with their leader, William Penn." The record continues: "They do not seem to have remained Quakers very long after leaving Pennsylvania, although William Lowndes was said to have been a wealthy old Quaker gentleman, owning much property in Richmond, Va. The tradition in the family is that he was finally read out of meeting by the Quakers on account of his unorthodox views. He then became a Presbyterian and finally his family became Episcopalian, in which faith his descendants continue. After leaving Pennsylvania, William Lowndes is said to have removed the letter "d" from his name as being superfluous and out of sympathy with Quaker simplicity. His descendant, the late Charles D. Lowndes, of Baltimore, and his brothers had the letter restored to the name by act of he Legislature many years ago, and the newspaper announcement of the fact can be still read.

The Missing Pieces of History The first American-made puzzles of this type appeared in Philadelphia around 1830, and are attributed to Thomas Ash. Up to that time, all commercailly produced dissected maps and pictures were imported--most of them coming from England and Germany, and a small number from France and Holland. http://www.pentimento.com/art2.htm The information relating to Pittsburgh, and to the rivers flowing by and below it, cost Cramer infinite pains to collect. From Cramer's Navigators the early travelers and later historians drew for facts when writing about the Western country, often without giving credit. Cramer complained of the piracy. In this connection he mentioned the Rev. Thaddeus Mason Harris, whose Journal of a Tour was published in Boston in 1805. He was especially bitter against Thomas Ash, the writer of a book of travel which appeared in London in 1808. He accused Ash of having taken his account of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers verbatim from the Navigator for 1806.(12) Notwithstanding this charge, Ash's book must have had some merit in Cramer's eyes, as he republished it the same year that it came out in London. Most of the writers, however, who obtained their information from the Navigator, gave it as their authority. John Mellish who was in Pittsburgh in 1811, commended the work: "The Pittsburgh Navigator is a little book containing a vast variety of information regarding the Western country, the prosperity of which seems to be an object of peculiar solicitude with the editors."(13) Christian Schultz, coming through Pittsburgh in September, 1807, had this to say: "Before I left Pittsburgh I purchased the Navigator, a kind of Blunt, or Hamilton Moore, for these waters; it is a small pamphlet, but contains a great deal of useful and miscellaneous information, and is particularly serviceable to a stranger.'(14) Blunt was the American Coast Pilot, published in 1796 by Edmund Blunt, and still used in recent years; Hamilton Moore was an English work called the Practical Navigator, of which many editions were published in London by Hamilton Moore.

According to one book I have (Séréville and Saint-Simon, Dictionnaire de la noblesse française), the family Strada d'Arosberg was originally from Bohemia, where they were ennobled in 1599 by Emperor Rudolf II. They were granted French citizenship in 1639 and confirmed as French nobles in 1641. They settled in the Auvergne region (modern Allier departement). The family became extinct upon the death in the 20th c. of Raoul Edgard de Strada d'Arosberg, son of Robert and his second wife Charlotte Chapman (there she is!), and without male issue from his marriage to Marie-Mathilde Schwingt. This raises the possibility that there were daughters from that marriage. On the web, I see that the family is noticed in a book: "Généalogies de Familles Bourbonnaises" by Henri de Frémont, which is on sale for 400F (about $50) http://perso.cybercable.fr/bgorlean/Bourbonnais1.htm#Index but I have no idea what it might contain. See also the references I provide at: http://www.heraldica.org/topics/france/noblesse.htm#biblio and see also http://habitant.org/tools/noblebib.htm The book by Woëlmont (listed in those pages) may have some information. -- François Velde velde@heraldica.org Heraldica Web Site: http://www.heraldica.org/ 04 70 20 91 11 dear mr Cairns, I am very sorry to tell you that name and/or arms of the family Strada d'Arosberg are not in our manuscript Armorial of members of he State council of Rudolf II of Habsburg mentioned in our book (nr. 37 of our website). I had a good look at all arms in the manuscript and I tried some other ways but the Bohemian noblemen and their arms are not well known in this part of Europe. If you are interested you could trie libraries or archives in Bohemia now part of the Czech Republic, but the language and maybe also the library service wil be troublesome. Nevertheless I give you an adress: Knihovna Akademie ved Ceske republiky (= Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic). 115 22 Prague 1, Narodni tr. 3. Czechoslovakia.

Germany, c. 1580-1602. Paper, 81 leaves, 189 x 121 mm. Contains 75 painted coats of arms, touched with gold. 77 L 30, fol. 52v-53r The different kinds of decorated paper from the Near East, of which this manuscript is made, belong to the oldest ever produced. They were first brought to Western Europe from the East by merchants in the second half of the sixteenth century. Of these Turkish and Persian decorated papers - including silhouette paper, marbled paper, sprinkled paper, and plain, coloured paper - an armorial has been made. The reproduction on the opposite page shows a coat of arms on silhouette paper. The technique of making such paper originated in Iran and was highly developed, especially in Turkey. The silhouettes, often in the form of trails with flowers or leaves, were cut out of thin leather, impregnated with solutions of dyes - often red, yellow or green - and subsequently printed between a folded sheet of paper. This was then brushed with high-protein vegetable extracts and finally mat-finished by working it with a polishing stone. Sometimes a thin, narrow layer of gold was added to the outlines of the silhouettes before polishing. The heraldic manuscript contains 75 coats of arms, beginning with the arms of the German Emperor Rudolf II. The next pages bear the arms of the archbishop of Mainz, the president of the State Council and the other councillors, as indicated on the back of the first page: ‘Verzaichnusz Desz Allerdurchleüchtigisten (...) herrn Rudolffen des andern (...) Hochloblichisten Reichshoff Raths, Presidenten, Referendarien vnnd Räthen, vom sechsundsibentzigisten, bisz auf gegenwirdiges Jar’. The arms have been executed in gold, silver and various colours, and annotated with names and titles. In a number of cases the date and place of death have been added at a later date. The manuscript was acquired in 1977 with the paper collection of Dr G. Dessauer from Düsseldorf. http://www.konbib.nl/kb/100hoogte/hh-en/hh037-en.html More About Robert Alphonse De Strada: Occupation: Equerry to the King of France Marriage Notes for Charlotte Chapman and Robert De Strada: Charlotte Georgiana CHAPMAN Sex: F Marriage(s): Spouse: Robert DE STRADA Marriage: 8 Nov 1834 British Embassy Chapel, Paris, Seine, France -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batch number: Dates Source Call No. Type Printout Call No. Type M800111 1816-1845 0576996 Film 1146237 Film Sheet: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to search results Prepare selected records for download More About Robert De Strada and Charlotte Chapman: Marriage: 08 November 1834, British Embassy Chapel, Paris, Seine, France3 Child of Charlotte Chapman and Robert De Strada is: 120 i. 10, born Private. 98.

She was an iron barque of 815 tons, built in 1858, and later purchased by the Shaw Saville Co. She made nine voyages to new Zealand, coming out first to Lyttelton in 1873, fifteen years after she was built. The most remarkable and eventful passage out by the Adamant was in 1875. She sailed from Gravesend on July 14 in command of Captain Birch. The report published in the Invercargill paper stated that Captain Birch was much given to drink. He kept the ship sailing about the coast of Brazil for three weeks, and on September 17, at 10 o'clock, ran her on a sandbank within hail of the shore, so close that the natives waded out and conversed with those on board. The barque was re-floated within a couple of hours. Eventually the Chief Officer, Mr Tupman Highman, took over command. About six weeks before the vessel arrived at the Bluff Captain Burch died, and was buried at sea. After her long passage of 144 days the provisions were almost exhausted.

Notes for Jean Agnes Chapman: [Cairns Doole.FTW] possibly no children Hi Tony. First my apologies for not acknowledging your whakapapa which you sent me some time ago when I made an enquiry to do with my research into Korokoro's history. At the time I was busy organising centenary celebrations for our suburb and when your Chapmans didn't seem to be the ones I wanted I put them out of my mind. We had noticed the name Hastwell, however, which wasn't a place I'd ever heard of, but a week or so later I came across the place name again in the context of searching through lease documents dated around the early 1900s. I don't know if you are familiar with the Liberal Government's policy of establishing settlements on a leasehold basis. Korokoro Village Settlement and Maungaraki Settlements were the ones I was interested in but I also noticed Hastwell Village Settlement, Wellington, which could have been where the Chapmans lived. If you want to find out more about this it would be documented in the Appendices to the Journals of the House of Representatives, in the report of the Land and Survey Department. They made annual reports on their various settlements.

He married Nancy Catherine Gamble, daughter of Cary Gamble and Edwarda Shaw. She died Unknown. Notes for Charles Denison Lowndes: Joseph H.D. Lowndes of Henrico county, Va., son of William Lowndes, Quaker, married Miss Arabella Sinton, of Ireland. Their son was the late Chas. D. Lowndes of Baltimore, who was born in Henrico county, Virginia, served gallantly in the Confederate army under General J.E.B. Stuart, and subsequently moved to Baltimore, Md., where he engaged in the baking and brokerage business successfully up to the time of his death, a few years ago, the firm being Brown & Lowndes, and later, Lowndes & Redwood. He married Miss Nancy Catherine Gamble, daughter of Dr. Cary Breckenridge Gamble, of Virginia, Florida, and later of Baltimore. The Gambles are related to the Preston, Cabell, Breckenridge, Wyckham, Lee, Brattan, Cary, and Selden families of the South. Dr. Gamble's wife was Edwarda Shaw, of St. Augustine, Florida, who was descended from the Bartons, of England and Ireland. After leaving Pennsylvania, William Lowndes is said to have removed the letter "d" from his name as being superfluous and out of sympathy with Quaker simplicity. The late Charles D. Lowndes, of Baltimore, and his brothers had the letter restored to the name by act of he Legislature many years ago, and the newspaper announcement of the fact can be still read. Other descendants of this Lowndes branch include a cousin of the late Charles D. Lowndes, Miss Ida Lownes, of Petersburg, Va., who still clings to the Quaker spelling of the name; also Miss Florence S. Peple, of Richmond, Va., a niece of Mr. Charles B. Lowndes; Mr. William Lowndes Peple, Mrs. Virginia Radcliffe Allen, of Galveston, Texas, who is now 91 years of age; Mrs. Charles W. Linthicum, of Baltimore, who was formerly Miss Lowndes; Mr. William Chapman Lowndes; Miss Isabel Steele Lowndes, Mrs. Albert S.J. Owens, Miss Mary Lowndes Owens, Mr William C. (??) Lowndes, Jr., Mr. Andrew Jackson Lowndes; Mr. Lucian Chas Lowndes, all of Baltimore; Mr. James Lowndes Phippen, and James Lowndes Phippen, Jr., of Philadelphia; Miss Annie Phippen, Mrs. Walter Percival Glinn, of Richmond, Va.; Mr. George C. Barnes, Miss Alice Barnes, and Miss Ada Barnes. The children of Charles Denison and Nancy Catherine (Gamble) Lowndes are: (1) Robert Glynn Lowndes (2) Charles Henry Grattan Lowndes (3) Edward Breckinridge Lowndes (4) Elise Gamble Lowndes (5) Cary Gamble Lowndes (6) Letitia Edwarda Lowndes. The descendants of Hon. Rawlins Lowndes, of South Carolina, includes the authoress, Mrs. Harriott Horry Ravenel (Mrs. St. Julien Ravenel), of Charleston, S.C., Mr. James Lowndes, of Washington, and Miss Katherine H. Lowndes of Baltimore. There is a New York line of the Lowndes family, supposed to descend from a contemporary of Christopher Lowndes, who settled in New York when Christopher came to Maryland. Of this line was William Edward Lowndes, whose son, John Howard Lowndes, was the father of Mr. Stanley Howard Lowndes of Northport, Long Island, NY.

Commemorative Information Memorial: THIEPVAL MEMORIAL, Somme, France Grave Reference/ Panel Number: Pier and Face 4 A and 4 D Location: The Thiepval Memorial will be found on the D73, off the main Bapaume to Albert road (D929). Historical Information: On 1 July 1916, supported by a French attack to the south, thirteen divisions of Commonwealth forces launched an offensive on a line from north of Gommecourt to Maricourt. Despite a preliminary bombardment lasting seven days, the German defences were barely touched and the attack met unexpectedly fierce resistance. Losses were catastrophic and with only minimal advances on the southern flank, the initial attack was a failure. In the following weeks, huge resources of manpower and equipment were deployed in an attempt to exploit the modest successes of the first day. However, the German Army resisted tenaciously and repeated attacks and counter attacks meant a major battle for every village, copse and farmhouse gained. At the end of September, Thiepval was finally captured. The village had been an original objective of 1 July. Attacks north and east continued throughout October and into November in increasingly difficult weather conditions. The Battle of the Somme finally ended on 18 November with the onset of winter. In the spring of 1917, the German forces fell back to their newly prepared defences, the Hindenburg Line, and there were no further significant engagements in the Somme sector until the Germans mounted their major offensive in March 1918. The Thiepval Memorial, the Memorial to the Missing of the Somme, bears the names of more than 72,000 officers and men of the United Kingdom and South African forces who died in the Somme sector before 20 March 1918 and have no known grave. Over 90% of those commemorated died between July and November 1916. The memorial also serves as an Anglo-French Battle Memorial in recognition of the joint nature of the 1916 offensive and a small cemetery containing equal numbers of Commonwealth and French graves lies at the foot of the memorial. The memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, was built between 1928 and 1932 and unveiled by the Prince of Wales, in the presence of the President of France, on 31 July 1932. The dead of other Commonwealth countries who died on the Somme and have no known graves are commemorated on national memorials elsewhere. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More About Maj.

Shirley Patricia11 Fitzgerald (Mary Cecelia10 Chapman, Richard John9, John James8, Mary7 Lowndes, James6 Lownes, Joseph5 Lowndes, James4, Hugh3, Hugh2, Christopher1) was born Private. She married QSM 1983 Keith Raymond Cairns13 Private, son of John Cairns and Marion Allsworth. He was born 24 February 1925 in 26 now 28 Waltons Avenue, Masterton, New Zealand13, and died 19 November 1987 in Wellington Hospital, Wellington, New Zealand13. Notes for QSM 1983 Keith Raymond Cairns: KEITH CAIRNS, Q. S. M. If you leave Wellington and drive towards the northeast, over the Rimutaka Hills, you'll arrive in the Wairarapa District, pastoral neighbour of the Wellington Province, and stamping ground of Keith Cairns, for the past 20 years representative of Colonial mutual and now holder of the Queen's Service Medal, awarded in the New Year Honors for community service. On seeing a familiar name in the Honors List, Ariki Toa set off for Masterton to see what sort of a man this was who could be honored in this way without our having already heard all about him. We found him in a modest office - a modest man who, while quietly appreciative of the award, felt that it belonged as much to friends and colleagues as to himself, Keith was born 59 years ago in Masterton, descended on both his mother's and father's sides from pioneer families of Wairarapa. At an early age Keith felt an intense interest in nature and was fortunate in having a father who encouraged this interest. While the other children kicked up their heels or mooched around when school was out, Keith set up a child-type museum in the backyard shed with exhibits of birds' eggs, nests, rocks, Maori carvings and natural objects, all carefully and lovingly labelled. When not contemplating and adding to his exhibits, Keith would go fishing - he would fish for freshwater crayfish in the Kuripuni Stream, and could collect over 600 within a few hours. A favorite pastime in spring was catching mudfish ~ a rare fish which lives mainly in underground springs - and which were plentiful in a spring now hidden by suburban Masterton, Many years later he sent specimens to the Dominion Museum for study, and some were sent to Victoria University. At 10 years of age, Keith tried to cultivate freshwater mussels, transferring specimens from a farm to a local creek and sealing off a habitat in mud for them. They survived for 12 to 18 months and were eventually eaten by pukeko and eels. About 35 years later Keith was involved in a Freshwater Mussel Standard project with technicians from the Institute of Nuclear Science. Whilst devoted to his natural history projects, Keith was still interested in other aspects of life, being a keen sportsman. At about 13 years of age he climbed Mt Holdsworth to watch the North Island Skiing Championships, at a time when skiers had to carry their skis up and down the mountain for every trip and the Powell Hut had just been built. At the age of 12, he won his first trophy for running with the Masterton, Harrier Club, being trained by one of New Zealand's leading athletes of the day, W.J. Pullar. His athletic tastes were catholic, embracing athletics, tennis, cricket, football, softball, basketball, table tennis, and widely geographic, as he was at various times a member of the Auckland, Feilding, Palmerston North, Masterton, and Wellington Marist Athletic Clubs. He has served as President of Masterton, Athletic and Cycling Club and acted in an official capacity in harriers, athletics, road and track cycling, boxing, wrestling, basketball and swimming. Keith left school at 15 and joined the Masterton, Post Office. As the second world war had got into its stride by then, Keith gained experience in all sorts of aspects of the work done by the Post Office as he filled in for older men who left to go to war. This experience of constantly facing a new challenge helped Keith develop an ability to adapt to change. When he was old enough to be accepted for war service, he volunteered for the R.N.Z.A.F. where he underwent an extensive technical training programme which involved him travelling to various parts of New Zealand, culminating in a posting to No. 1 Instrument Repair Depot, Hamilton. This depot specialized in mechanical type aircraft instruments and housed 15 qualified watchmakers and jewellers. As an instrument specialist Keith was chosen to carry out the first major instrument checks on the Gloucester Meteor - the first jet plane to come to New Zealand. He worked on almost every type of aircraft to come to New Zealand and at the end of the war at 21, was posted to Whenuapai, in charge of the instrument section, comprising 6 staff, with full responsibility for all aircraft coming in and out of Whenuapai. At that time the RNZAF was flying the 'longest regular air route in the world' from New Zealand to Japan and back servicing BCOF, the New Zealand Contingent of British Commonwealth Occupation Forces. After the war Keith served his time as an adult apprentice watchmaker and jeweller and before long branched out in his own business as a Retail Watchmaker and Jeweller, at first assisted by John Robertson, first Labour Member of Parliament for New Zealand. Later he formed a partnership and traded under the name of Regency Jewellers. Regency Jewellers first traded in Wellington, and later opened shops in Petone and Masterton, employing the most highly qualified watchmakers and jewellers to come to New Zealand at that time, and using the most modern techniques of the day. Reaching back to his boyhood, Keith established the first commercial Wholesale/ Retail mineral dealing business in New Zealand, manufacturing boxes of rocks and minerals throughout New Zealand. The first boxes were sold to the Wellington Education Board and brochures were prepared with the assistance of the New Zealand Geological Survey. Subscribing to the maxim that all work and no play makes Jack (or Keith a dull boy, he lent his usual enthusiasm for everything to ballroom dancing, not so much as a participant as an entrepreneur. Although proficient on several instruments, he concentrated more on organizing dances in Masterton, He would set up public dances, arranging local 9 piece dance bands - or sometimes bringing bands from Wellington and looking after tickets, supper etc. Sometimes he participated in public demonstrations of ballroom dancing with a teacher. For three years, after the war, his dances filled a real need in Masterton, Keith's business, Regency Jewellers, had the lease to a shop in a building in Masterton, which was bought by Colonial mutual, who wanted to demolish the old building and build a new one on the property. However, Keith's lease had some time to run and he refused to move. After some negotiations, Colonial mutual offered Regency Jewellers first choice of the shops in the new building; Keith made his choice and so started his association with Colonial mutual. To a conscientious man, three retail shops can become something of a burden, especially once one has married and has a family which vies with the business for one's attention. Keith decided to put his shops on the market and in 1964, when he - was selling his business, a Mr Don Cairns - who is no relation to Keith approached him with a proposition that he may like to join Colonial mutual as a representative. Thus on 1 May 1964 Keith became Colonial mutual's ''man in the Wairarapa' and a mutually beneficial association was born. Keith has belonged to the New Zealand Geological Society almost since its inception and was a foundation member of the Wairarapa Geological Society. He was also on the planning committee for the first adult education school in geology run through Victoria University and held in Masterton for a week. Never having lost the interest in nature which prompted him as a boy to build his own museum, he has also been a regional organizer of the Ornithological Society for New Zealand, Now the acknowledged expert in Maoritanga in Wairarapa, he tells that his interest in Maoritanga began when he served as an altar boy in the Catholic Church. "Over 50 years ago Monsignor Nicholas Moore first introduced me to local Maori and it was through him 1 first got involved. Monsignor Moore is still my spiritual adviser; he's been very important to me''. The Kaumatua Maori elders) also had an enormous influence over him. He has been a council member of the Polynesian Society and is an honorary member of the Maori Women's Welfare League. A member of the New Zealand Archaeological Association, he has excavated on hundreds of pa sites in Wairarapa which were settled by about 80 tribes. Some are very important as they help tell us about the history of the Maori in the area. Keith respects the Maori beliefs concerning burial sites and brings a sensitivity to his work in this area. Keith has received two grants for his work; in 1960 from the Maori Purposes Fund Board to research Maori newspapers and in 1961 from the Masterton Trust Lands Trust to make an archaeological survey of Wairarapa. Farmers were contacted by post and asked about possible Maori sites on their properties, the resulting data being used to create the first ''semi complete'' regional picture of Maori sites. In 1975 he investigated a moa-hunter burial site at Castlepoint, a most exciting project, as many significant discoveries followed from the initial investigation. Keith has published papers on many of his investigations and is in demand to talk to various clubs and groups about his findings. Such is the respect in which he is held by the local Maori that when they have school parties come to visit their pa they ask him to tell the children about their history. A charismatic Roman Catholic, Keith is a member of a contemplative group, and is a member of the Monsignor Moore Education Trust Administration Committee, which provides an education in a Catholic School for children whose parents cannot afford the outlay. Both he and his wife Shirley practise a Christian life-style, and their house is open to anyone in need. Despite his many interests, Keith has not neglected Colonial mutual. He has won the International Quality Award six times and figures high on the list for the current Sales Trek campaign - the special campaign for the centenary year. He has been an elected LOANZ representative on the Masterton Savings Committee, and a past chairman, His policyholders regard him as a trusted friend, to whom they can go for advice concerning not only insurance but all other aspects of life, a relationship to which, surely, any insurance adviser should aspire. ARIKI TOA Autumn 1984 ARCHAEOLOGIST LEAVES' VIDEO LEGACY Only weeks before his death, prominent Wairarapa archaeologist Keith Cairns made a historical video, which Maori organizers see as taonga (valued heirlooms and knowledge). Mr Cairns, noted for his knowledge of Wairarapa Maori and pre-Maori history, was filmed at the request of Maori people for a Department of Social Welfare seminar several weeks ago. The video was made by Fred Holloway, and copies of the video are to be presented to the Papawai and Te Ore Ore marae and to Mr 'Cairns' family. ' One of the organizers Mrs Pani Warn says few people had Mr Cairns' knowledge of Wairarapa Maori history including the Maori people. Mr Cairns was seen as a totara kohinga o te Wairarapa (a fallen chief of the Wairarapa), she said. He was being honored by lying in state at both Te Ore Ore and ' Papawai marae before his funeral tomorrow. Mrs Waru said Mr Cairns had been a precious tohunga because of his knowledge of history. Originally Mr Cairns had been invited to take part in the seminar but had' to decline because of poor health. However he had been happy to take part in the video. Kaumatua from Wairarapa marae had also taken part. The video is in both Maori and English. The video records some of the more important events in the history of Maori settlement of Wairarapa. It introduces the mana of the people of Wairarapa, talks about the tribal descent from different canoes and about the people who live on the coast and in the Wairarapa valley. Wairarapa is regarded as an archaeologist's paradise. Stone-age flake tools, implements and ornaments dating back to the' early KEITH CAIRNS HONORED AT MARAES, WAIRARAPA archaeologist Keith Cairns, QSM, who died earlier this week, mill lie in state at both Papawai and Te Ore Ore marae this weekend. Mr Cairns was to lie in state at Chews Chapel in Carterton this afternoon and at a family member's home tonight. Tomorrow morning he will be taken to Papawai marae where he will lie in state from 10am to 3.30pm before he is brought back to Masterton to his own home before he is taken to Te Ore Ore marae He will lie in state there till 1pm on Monday, when he will be, taken to the Brigidine chapel. He will stay there till 6.40pm before he is taken to St Patrick's Church for the 7pm rosary. The funeral will be held on Tuesday at 10.30am with a gathering at the YMCA afterwards. WAIRARAPA ARCHAEOLOGIST KEITH CAIRNS QSM Keith Cairns, QSM died yesterday after heart surgery at Wellington Hospital. Mr Cairns, 61, received the Queen's Service Medal in the 1984 New Year Honour last for community service. He had described himself as "a simple country boy". He was born in Masterton and attended St Patrick's School and Wairarapa College before joining the Post Office at 15. When he was 17 he joined the RNZAF and served as a specialist instrument repairer and by the age of 21 he was a corporal in charge of instruments at Whenuapai. He also worked on the first jet aircraft to visit New Zealand. He worked closely with expert watchmakers in the instrumentation section and took up an adult apprenticeship with Jack Bradbury in Masterton on leaving the RNZAF. Later he opened jewellery shops in Wellington, Masterton and Petone. His interest in gemstones led Mr Cairns to become the first person in New Zealand to market rocks and minerals wholesale and retail. He belonged to the New Zealand Geological Society from its inception and was a foundation member of the Wairarapa Geological Society. Mr Cairns was also involved in adult geology education, and studied with National Museum geologist, Dr Geoff Shaw. He was also a regional organizer in another of his favorite pastimes, ornithology. His interest in Maoritanga began as an altar boy when he served for the late Monsignor Moore at Te Ore Ore Catholic Church. Mr Cairns said kaumatua Maori elders had an enormous influence on his life. He was an honorary member of the Maori Women's Welfare League and also a member of the Polynesian Society and a member of the Archaeological Association. Mr Cairns made some important archaeological discoveries. He has excavated hundreds of pa sites in Wairarapa, some recognized to be very important. He was respected for his policy of non-disclosure of many of these sites in order to preserve them. His most important work in this field was a moa hunter's burial site at Castlepoint. Mr Cairns was also a well-known sportsman, administrator and musician. Mr Cairns worked for Colonial Mutual Life for 20 years and was a member and chairman of the Masterton Savings committee for some years. T.J.Cairns's notes on Keith @ 13 November 1996. KEITH 1925-88. My brother Keith Raymond Cairns was born on 24th. February 1925 at Masterton. He was born at home, 26 Waltons Avenue, Kuripuni, Masterton (refer Kit's memories chapter on my Mother and Cairns geneology 1983) As a child I believe Keith was subject to fainting spells; although I don't remember witnessing him fainting. Gran Allsworth referred to him as "pasty face"! Mum said he often went white and "wouldn't make old bones." He was never fat, just wiry and as strong as most of his brothers and sisters. Keith was a collector. He gathered and "blew" the insides out of birds' eggs. He would prick the narrow ends of each egg with a nail or a needle and blow the yolk and white out. Then he would place the egg in cotton wool and place them carefully away in the draws of a large cupboard in Dad's workshop. He would locate bird's nests in hedgerows or swamps. Once he found a swan egg, beside the creek at Kourarau Dam and as it was abandoned and stale it took some fortitude to blow it. He placed it in a bag that he held at arms-length while he biked home. Keith also collected other items. His brothers and sisters looked but did not touch. I believe that at St. Patrick's School Keith was average at sport. At Wairarapa College Keith took a commercial course. He left C5 in the first term l940. He played cricket and participated in compulsory cadets, dressed in khaki-coloured shorts and shirt. He was nicknamed "Kernel" by his classmates and when I joined him at college I was also referred to as Kernel 2 by some. Like all Cairns he was a wizard on a bicycle. His bike had the seat set high and his handles were turned high. He made it a fixed wheeler...no brakes. Top speed was the normal. Keith would spring on to the bike at the back verandah of our home and stand on the pedals and by the time he shot out the front gate he was at full pace. Heaven help anyone who was walking past on the footpath at the time. Keith relied on his quick reactions to keep him out of trouble and he always reacted swiftly. People of Waltons Avenue got to know to pass the Cairns' gateway with caution and there were no accidents. Keith always lived life to the full. He competed with his brothers Des and Terence in harriers and athletics on the Masterton Park oval track. He was part of the Waltons Avenue gang that got up to all kinds of pranks. Keith would jokingly say that he fought with an Avenue neighbour, Russell Broughton, and that it was that childhood experience that helped "Russ" to capture the national heavyweight boxing title. (refer to the photograph of the Waltons Avenue gang of sixteen, taken by Jack Moss.) Keith was also artistic. He was taught piano and he used to say that he could "rattle anything off on the piano - including his Mum's vases!" He was taught tap-dancing by another Avenue neighbour, Michael McMullen. Mike McMullen was a tall adult who was a sight to behold doing an Irish jig, twirling a shillelagh in his hand. Keith had a sheet of plywood that he would place on the sitting room carpet and he would put a record on the wind-up gramophone and tap away to his heart's content. As if that was not enough - Keith moved on to learn the saxophone and ballroom drums. He joined a local dance band that included Darcy Christianson trombone, Jack Snowsill on piano and the Thorne father and his sons. There was never a dull moment. His father and his older brothers Jock and Des were top-class ballroom dancers. Not content with natural abi1ities they all took ballroom dancing lessons. Keith was an accomplished ballroom dancer. He organised ballroom dances in Masterton for three years. In 1936, there were three Cairns brothers running in the harriers and on the athletic track. Keith was third in the Masterton Harrier Club junior championship and winner of the junior points cup in 1937. In 1947 and 1948 Keith was the MHC senior cross-country champion. He won the 1947 Cameron Cup for the final handicap race and in 1948 he won the Shaw Rose Bowl for senior handicap points. In 1949 he was elected as MHC club captain and he served as the MHC club delegate on the Wellington Centre NZAAA from 1950-53. (refer revised version of "Fifty Years of Harriers in Wairarapa.") Keith was the local champion on the track. He won the Royal New Zealand Air Force one mile championship and finished second in the 880 yards before going overseas to serve. (refer "Carry Them Shoulder High" by Terence J Cairns published 1980) While Keith was stationed in the NZ Air Force Auckland district, Keith took me to see him train on the Auckland Domain. He pointed out his training mates, which included Ron Agate and other national track champions. Keith was King of the milers in the Air Force at that time. He was part of a NZ record-breaking team that set a national mixed relay record. I remember that the Wairarapa handicapper Bill Grantham laughed in disbelief at the projected time that Keith put on his entry form for the annual Mangatainoka sports. Keith then bettered that time in the mile at the sports. Keith was a forward-thinking and forceful president of the Masterton Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club. He and Massey Quayle (a Waltons Avenue neighbour of the Cairns family) were appointed by the MAA&CC to speak to the Masterton Borough Council parks and reserves committee in 1956. He was instrumental in getting two Olympic Games "greats" Gordon Pirie and Norman Read to compete on the Masterton oval in 1957. Later when Keith provided the club with a watch from Jack Bradbury's shop where he worked at the time, to raffle for funds to purchase a sports stopwatch, the MAA&CC committee, which I was also part of, decided to purchase the stopwatch from a Napier jeweller! Keith worked for the NZ Post Office first as a postman; then in the mailroom and later in the brick Post Office building as a manual telephone exchange operator. He was at work in the exchange when the major earthquake damaged the building. He said he was scared! When it came to his call-up for active war service, Keith joined up with the airforce and was trained as an instrument maintenance and repairer. He gained much experience in repairing shot-up aircraft instruments in Fiji. It was in the services that Keith learnt the watch, clock and jewellery trade and that experience helped him when he joined Bradbury Jewellers in Masterton on discharge after the war from active service. I believe Keith enjoyed his time working with Bradbury and with the new manager/owner Claude Allen. Keith moved to work as a jeweller and watch repairer in Wellington. He took over an upper Cuba Street business, known as Regency Jewellers. He expanded the business and employed many qualified tradesmen, including Noel Hill, who worked on contract and later moved to Canada. Keith took over a second shop in Jackson Street, Petone and when Seymour-Gilding, the owner of a small Masterton shop in Perry Street, wanted to retire Keith added a third shop to his Regency Jewellers chain. Joan Wellington (who married Donald Cairns and went to live out of Cairns, Australia) and Colin Henwood worked in the Masterton branch. My wife, Pearl, also worked part-time, restringing pearl necklaces etc and serving in the shop. Keith was in business in Perry Street when the building on the corner of Queen Street was demolished and replaced with a two-story concrete structure. He moved back into the new building and during the intermediate time he ran his business in the temporary buildings in Church Street where the New World Supermarket is now (I996) located. He engaged and assisted a master carver to carve in traditional fashion a Maori storage house that he used to display appropriate goods in his Perry Street shop. I believe that later Keith closed the Upper Cuba Street, Wellington, and Jackson Street, Petone, shops to work out of his Masterton shop because of changes in the watch, clock and jewellery repair environment and Keith's health problems. Later, Regency Jewellers, Masterton shop was also closed and there was a massive auction of stock in the Church Street temporary building which went on for a week. I believe that Keith showed determination to meet all his financial commitments; which was unusual for some who closed business at the time. Keith had no difficulty finding employment after he closed the shops. In 1964 he was approached by Don Cairns of Colonial Mutual and was trained as a successful insurance salesman and he gained a number of awards. (refer "Keith Cairns QSM " Ariki Toa - Colonial Mutual Journal Autumn 1984) He had a special relationship with the Maori people. He took lessons and learnt to speak the native language fairly fluently. He gained the respect and trust of the Maori and researched their history. The Maori Women Welfare League made him a life member and was instrumental in nominating Keith for a Queen's decoration of a Q.S.M., which he received in 1984. Keith joined the Polynesian Society and became an authority on early history. He was highly respected by the staff of the Wellington museum and other archaeologists. Keith's name was recorded in an issue of the "N.Z. Who's Who." His papers are filed in the National and Masterton libraries. A video recording of Keith's knowledge of the Wairarapa Maori history was made just prior to his death. Keith shared a flat with similarly livewire people who matched his enthusiasm for life, in Wellington. We remember going to a party in the Majestic Cabaret, which featured some big band music. He met and married Shirley Fitzgerald in the Kilbirnie Catholic Church in 1954. Their family of Judith, Anthony "Tony", Peter, Robert "Bobbie", and Russell all inherited their parents' enthusiasm. Keith continued to collect items after he married and filled a room in the Colombo Road home with records. I believe his enthusiasm got out of hand when he tackled the task of the Allsworth (his mother's family) genealogy and branched out into the Morris family genealogy. I don't believe that Keith finished that vast task, but he left behind information that others could work on. Tony and Bob especially carried on Keith's love of research and of the environment. (refer Cairns Genealogy 1983) Keith was subjected to some medical misjudgment when his doctor (P. Apthorp) was injured and the fill-in doctor continued medication for a back problem when the medication should have been discontinued and changed. Keith suffered severe continuous back problems for years. While on a house-minding assignment in Rotorua with Shirley, Keith suffered a heart attack. In August 1987, Peter Cairns collected contributions from Cairns family members towards the cost of 25 oak trees to plant in a glade beside the newly developed Henley Lake, in Masterton. He plantation was to be called "The Jock and Marion Cairns descendants' Glade." Keith and his family were supportive of the venture. It was commonly referred to by family members as the Cairns Grove but unfortunately at time of recording this (l996) only a few of the oaks have survived the elements. Shortly after undergoing a cardiac by-pass operation in the Wellington Hospital Keith passed away on 19 November 1987. His body was returned to his hometown and laid out on the Te Ore Ore and Papawai maraes, which was a rare privilege for a Pakeha; plus overnight in the St Brides Convent chapel. As a member of Keith's immediate family l sat beside his body at the Te Ore Ore and Papawai maraes. Requiem Mass was said in St. Patrick's Church, Masterton. Celebrants were Fathers Sorahan, Bourke, Fitzgibbon and Bennett. Keith's body was cremated. (refer letter from Shirley Cairns re memorial stand.12.11.88) The stress of losing Keith brought on symptoms of heart problems for me immediately after leaving the church. I ended up a few months later in the Wellington Hospital to have a similar by-pass operation as Keith had. His spirit was with me throughout.
