Descendants of James Greenaway Generation No. 1 1. JAMES1 GREENAWAY He married JANE TURKINGTON. Notes for JAMES GREENAWAY: Tartaraghan is a parish in Northern Ireland 3 1/4 miles north-north-east of Loughgall, barony of West O'Neilland, co. Armagh Ulster. Population in 1831 6321, 1291 houses. The surface is low and flat, consists in general, of good land and comprises the terminting part of the peninsula between the rivers Bann and Blackwater. Coney Island in Lough Neagh belongs to Tartaraghan. The Brownlee Family - Lord Lurgan, is the local squire from whom the locals lease their land and pay tithes. Neither Greenaway nor Dynes are Irish names. It is thought that these families went to Ireland from England around the time of Cromwell in the mid 1600's. James Greenaway and Jane Turkington married around 1830 and had three children that we know of. They lived in a town near Ulster co. Armagh, called Tartaraghan Northern Ireland. Children of JAMES GREENAWAY and JANE TURKINGTON are: i. MARTHA2 GREENAWAY, b. 20 November 1833. 2. ii. THOMAS GREENAWAY, b. 25 August 1837, Tartaraghan Armagh Nth. Ireland; d. 1937. iii. ELIZABETH GREENAWAY, b. 13 May 1841. Generation No. 2 2. THOMAS2 GREENAWAY (JAMES1) was born 25 August 1837 in Tartaraghan Armagh Nth. Ireland, and died 1937. He met (1) ANNE ROBINSON. He married (2) PRISCILLA DYNES 16 June 1873 in The Manse Christchurch NZ. She was born 1843 in Drumcree Armagh Ireland, and died 1915. Notes for THOMAS GREENAWAY: The Greenaway/Dynes were farmers in Ireland who leased the land off Charles Brownlee - Lord Lurgan. They had small holdings or parts of Townlands leased. They were not well off people. Farming is a tradition that seems to have carried on after they came to New Zealand. Thomas came to New Zealand in 1861 on board the Chrysolite. His occupation in Northern Ireland was that of a Farmer. Thomas is reputed to have been the black sheep in the family and didn't get on very well with his father so went off to Australia. He is supposed to have joined the forces in Australia. Records show that Thomas bought land in Doyleston. We don't know whether Thomas and Priscilla knew each other prior to coming to NZ. Notes for PRISCILLA DYNES: On the 29 May 1862 the ship Mersey left the UK and on it was Priscilla aged 20 and two of her brothers, Francis who was 18, and William John 25, along with Williams wife Sarah 22 and their daughter Mary Elizabeth. Later records show that they also had an infant Martha travelling with them, she appears to have been born 18 days prior to sailing, in Drumcree. Priscillas occupation was that of a Domestic Servant. It appears that they were given assisted passage by The New Zealand Company who had stringent rules for emigration. Single women without their parents were not admissible unless they are emigrating under the immediate care of some near Married Relatives, or were under engagement as Domestic Servants to Ladies going out as Cabin Passengers in the same ship. As a general rule, single men were not allowed, except in a number not exceeding that of the single women on the same ship. We can only speculate at the conditions endured on the journey over, but a visit to the Natoinal Maritime Museum on Hobson Wharf in Auckland, to their mock ship, shows the sleeping quarters, 14 bunks to a dark and smelly room. The Mersey was a barque carrier. It was captained by Duncan Smith and arrived in Lyttleton on 26 September 1862 carrying 271 passengers. The newspaper article announcing the arrival of the Mersey says "She did not get clear of the English Channel till the 10th of June. Since then she has encountered more than the usual allowance of contrary winds, especially between Australia and the New Zealand coast, made the longitude of the Snares in the 19th inst., and has had baffling winds on the coast. A fatal accident occurred on July 25 in the loss overboard of Mr Augustus Tucker, a chief cabin passenger who was on his way to join his relatives in the north. Priscilla went to Christchurch at the time of the Exhibition. She sent postcards from there to various people - postcards were all the rage and some have survived, although not the Christchurch ones. We have postcards to Mrs Pearson of Cunninghams Feilding, Miss Isabella Greenaway Martinborough Wairarapa, Miss Isobel Greenaway Grey St Martinborough. Child of THOMAS GREENAWAY and ANNE ROBINSON is: i. RACHEL3 GREENAWAY. Children of THOMAS GREENAWAY and PRISCILLA DYNES are: 3. ii. FRANCIS JOHN3 GREENAWAY, b. 24 May 1876. 4. iii. ISABELLA GREENAWAY, b. 27 August 1885, Ashburton NZ; d. 1962. iv. WILLIAM JAMES GREENAWAY, b. 1874; d. 1875. v. JAMES GREENAWAY, b. 1880. 5. vi. MINNIE AKA MARY GREENAWAY, b. 1879. vii. JANE GREENAWAY, b. 1883. Generation No. 3 3. FRANCIS JOHN3 GREENAWAY (THOMAS2, JAMES1) was born 24 May 1876. He married MARY ELIZABETH BOYD 19 October 1921 in Upper Hutt Wellington, daughter of ALEXANDER BOYD and ISABELLA ROSS. Notes for FRANCIS JOHN GREENAWAY: When Francis was born his parents were farmers and when he and his brother James reached the end of primary school, their father made them leave school and work around the farm. Thomas was a hard man - a bit of a tyrant, who kept his wife and children well under this thumb and was known to be a bit of a boozer. Francis and James were harvesting contractors with their father, thrashing grain with traction engines, which kept them home from the 1st World War as their occupation was considered as essential. They did get to go to the war around 1917. Francis was a Private in the Infantry and served in the Home Guard at the beginning of WWII. Francis was so repressed by his father that he was painfully shy and wouldn't go out anywhere for years, although auntie Bel always thought of him as the life of the party up until he married. The only place Francis would go, was to visit his brother James (Jim) at Dyerville and to church Sunday eventings. After he joined the choir in Martiborough and later Dargaville he started to come out of himself. Francis had a beautiful bass voice and played the flute - a wooden one. Francis and his wife Mary grew up in the same area in Martinborough and went to the same Bible Class. After Mary and her family shifted to the Hutt, Francis followed after he to court her. Mary was about 36 and Francis 42 when they got married. They shifted to a government farm neary Muriwai Beach Waimauku where baby Frances was born (Onehunga Nursing Home). When baby Frances was about 3 they sold the farm to some neighbours - the Hamiltons. Francis hated farm work but it was all he had known. They then shifted to Pirinoa Wairaroa on a sheep station where Francis did the farm work and Mary cooked for the shearing gangs. Francis loved the outdoors and worked with a team of horses at Martins. He hated cats and dogs and wouldn't do the garden except to grow the potatoes. He would dig the ground for Marys' gardens but wouldn't do anything else. He spent weeks away on Martins farm at Tablelands Hinakura road, spreading slag. It was while the family were at Oxford St that Francis and Mary went to single beds. Mary and Francis had a car but Francis was so uncoordinated that he couldn't drive - always crasing the gears, so Mary would drive everywhere. Francis never had any friends. He could be very cynical at times. The Greenaway girls never approved of Francis marrying Mary Boyd. Child of FRANCIS GREENAWAY and MARY BOYD is: 6. i. ENID FRANCES BOYD4 GREENAWAY, b. 15 March 1923, Onehunga Auckland New Zealand. 4. ISABELLA3 GREENAWAY (THOMAS2, JAMES1) was born 27 August 1885 in Ashburton NZ, and died 1962. She married MARK NAPIER HARDIE 1909. He was born 1882 in Paisley Scotland, and died 1985 in Greytown Hospital. Notes for MARK NAPIER HARDIE: The Hardies owned a jewelry store in Martinborough. The story of Mark Hardie and sons Limited really begins in 1882 when Mark Napier Hardie III was born in Paisley Scotland. He learned the trade from master jeweler and watchmaker, Mark Napier Hardie II who in turn learned it from his father. Mark No.III emigrated to NZ in 1902 arriving ahead of his family and found work with a watchmaker in Wellington and a house to rent in Tinakori Road. Children of ISABELLA GREENAWAY and MARK HARDIE are: i. CLAIRE PRISCILLA4 HARDIE, b. 1918, Martinborough; d. 1919, Martinborough.

ENID FRANCES BOYD4 GREENAWAY (FRANCIS JOHN3, THOMAS2, JAMES1) was born 15 March 1923 in Onehunga Auckland New Zealand. She married IAN ALBERT ORME 11 June 1947 in Presbyterian Church Dargaville New Zealand, son of ALBERT ORME and FLORENCE MUNRO. He was born 29 March 1921 in Akaroa New Zealand. Notes for ENID FRANCES BOYD GREENAWAY: When baby Frances was 5 years old the family shifted to Martinborough and lived ina lttle cottage with Francis working at Martins and it was there that baby Frances started school. Shortly afterward they shifted to a house on Martins farms, and stayed there until Francis was put off because tractors came in. They shifted to Oxford St where he worked in Public works during the rest of the depression. Frances was about 15 years old. Frances memories of her father were of a man who was disappointed at having only a daughter but growing to love and be a friend with her. She says he used to lie on the couch and read his newspaper, sometimes reading out snippets to Mary and Fances. He always called Frances "Tommy", maybe because she was a small baby with the name deriving from tom Thumb, and shortened to Tommy or maybe because he wanted a son. Frances says that "Dad had a great sense of humour, despite other faults. This is very obvious in the cartoons he drew." Frances left school at 15 and her first job was in an accountants office as an office junior working for John Jolly esq. "Old so and so" she recalls, "smoked a pipe all day which stank". The building the accountants offices were in is still preserved. They did the accounts for the local Dairy Factories. Frances earned the grand sum of fifteen shillings a week. Frances then decided it was time to leave home. All the way to Dargaville at the age of 18 which was very daring for a young lady in those times. She found work at the North Auckland Times Newspaper - earning four pound ten shillings a week. That business is still going and is now known as the Northland Times. From there she worked for dentists Hooten and Aitken until she met and married Ian Albert Orme. Theirs was a romance to read about. It was during WWII and the girls from the local Bible class wrote letters to the boys serving their country overseas. When Ian received a letter from a Frances Greenaway, something told him that this was the girl for him, and on 11 June 1997 they celebrated 50 years of marriage. Notes for IAN ALBERT ORME: When Ian and Frances married, Ian was working at Snowdens as a sharemilker - their first child Dorothy was born while they were there. In June 1949 Ian and Frances shifted to their own farm which for the first two years proved disastrous. The 1950 calving season saw very few calves born alive, there was a disease prevalent which caused the cows to slip still born calves. Sid Thomas bailed them out by buying boners and pigs in exchange for heifers and cows which were paid off by selling the pigs and boners. Sid was the Manager and Head Auctioneer at North Auckland Farmers. Frances and Ian had another four children. Frances says that Ian only had to put his trousers on the end of the bed and there was another baby on the way. At one stage she had five children under the age of five years and if it weren't for Ians parent sliving on the farm with them she wouldn't have been able to cope. There was no refrigerator - just a safe, and no washing machine. all the washing was done in a copper with a fire lit underneath to heat the water. The toilet was a long drop down in the garden. The Orme family sold the farm to some neighbours in about 1962 and shifted into town where Ian worked for the power board. They went from there to Torbay in Auckland, retired back to Baylys Beach in Dargaville and finally settled in Waiuku, south of Auckland. Francis John Greenaway and Mary Boyd have 21 descendants.
