NZL. Occupation Midwife. Aged 87 Years.<br />

On Page 4 of Enumeration District 3, South Parish of Paisley (formally<br />

part of the Abbey Parish) in the 1841 census Elizabeth Manerson is recorded<br />

as a 7 year old living with Robert and June Campbell and family<br />

in Nelston Road. Date of arrival in Australia is not known. To quote Elizabeth,<br />

“I was but a girl when we arrived in Australia.” As Elizabeth was<br />

not recorded, in Paisley, in the 1851 census it is presumed that she<br />

emmigrated some time during that decade with a foster family. She died<br />

at her home, of a Cerebral Haemorrhage, attended by Doctor Fitchett.. 20<br />

At the time of her marriage Elizabeth was slim, with long dark hair caught<br />

in a bun and five feet two inches tall. In old age she was plump and her<br />

small feet had difficulty supporting her bulk. On 17 July 1905 Elizabeth,<br />

aged 72 and still extremely active, applied to Wellington for registration<br />

under section 4A of the Midwives Registration Act 1904. She was well<br />

known, in Dunedin, and in her later years was often seen in the company<br />

of her eldest boy’s son John Arthur Brown. John was the owner of<br />

G.Methven and Company, Dunedin’s Brass and Iron Foundary which at<br />

the time was the largest in the southern hemisphere. Until her death<br />

Elizabeth attended the firm’s annual picnic. She was survived by seven of<br />

her ten children.<br />

Elizabeth’s husband, was admitted to the Bar in London and practised<br />

law in Sydney before becoming a gold miner, and later paymaster at the<br />

Ballarat Gold Fields. In Dunedin Charles was unable to practise law,<br />

because of religious prejudice. He was offered a position as a partner in<br />

a Christchurch legal firm but Elizabeth did not want to move the family<br />

for two reasons. One, she had a job as a midwife, and two, in January<br />

25, 1861 her brother Peter, his wife Mary and their four sons had arrived<br />

in Dunedin aboard the “Lady Egidia”, their assisted passage paid by<br />

Page 2<br />

He second married Jean Tannahill, 6 December 1845 in Paisley, GBR.<br />

They had the following children:<br />

iii. Margaret MANDERSON<br />

iv. Agnes MANDERSON<br />

The Abbey Marriage Register 1853<br />

Elizabeth and Charles. Elizabeth was a strong and competent woman and<br />

her work assumed greater importance in stabilising the family finances<br />

because of her husband’s weakness for alcohol.<br />

She married Charles Brown, son of William Brown & Arabella Hodges, 14<br />

October 1853 in Bourne, Melbourne, AUS. Born 1829 in Oxford, GBR.<br />

Died 14 May 1891 in Dunedin, NZL. Buried in Northern Cemetery,<br />

Dunedin, NZL. Occupation Lawyer, Constable, Baliff. Aged 62 Years.<br />

It is believed that he attended Eton school and later Oxford University<br />

where he graduated as an architect. His brother Henry travelled out to<br />

Australia, where he died, and the family in England sent Charles out to<br />

find out what happened. When he got back to England he reported how<br />

impressed he had been with the opportunities available in Australia. So<br />

sometime in 1848 or 1849 he arrived back in the Colony.<br />

Charles was a soldier with the rank of Major; went to Gabriel's Gully in<br />

the Gold Escort as a Sheriff (complete with six chambered revolver.) Drove<br />

an early coach (as a waggoner?) on the pigroot, 1862. 20<br />

From Paisley to Dunedin<br />

The "Ardrossan Herald" of Saturday, September 8, 1860 announced the purchase by Potter Wilson & Co., of Glasgow, of the large vessel on stocks<br />

in Messrs. Barr & Shearer’s ship-building yard at Greenock. The ship is one of the largest, if not the largest wooden vessel ever built in Scotland.<br />

Her model was the general theme of admiration, and we believe the timber of which she is built is the finest that could be procured. She measures<br />

2192 feet long, extreme breadth 373ft., depth 222ft., registered tonnage 1,235, builders’ measurements 1.46l tons.<br />

Greenock<br />

As the launching day approached men women and families arrived from Edinburgh, Perth, Aberdeen, Ullapool, even<br />

from Kirkwall in the Orkneys and from Northern Ireland. In all 438 passengers boarded the s.s. "Lady Egidia" on<br />

that eventful day when flags flew and hundreds of spectators watched, including a party from "The Castle"<br />

headed by the Earl and Countess of Eglinton and their daughter, Lady Egidia Montgomerie after whom<br />

the ship was named.<br />

The passengers trans- ferred in the rain, by the steamer "Craigneish Castle" to the "Lady Egidia" which<br />

was lying about half a mile off Greenock. There was great confusion and bustle while transhipping the<br />

luggage when a sailor fell from the main yard of the "Egidia" to the deck. He died next day.<br />

The Voyage<br />

At about 5 p.m. on Friday October 12 they weighed anchor and the steamer towed the ship out<br />

past Cloch Light- house. The weather deteriorated so it was decided to put back to Gourock Bay<br />

where she lay the night only about 3 miles below Greenock. The next morning, in weather described<br />

as boisterous, the steamer came alongside and towed the ship past Argyllshire and Arran, passing<br />

Pladda Lighthouse at 6 p.m. At dusk, when the steamer left, the "Egidia" was off the Mull of Kintyre,<br />

roughly 60 miles from Greenock, with sails set to pass to the west.<br />

The first five days were cold and stormy with the<br />

boat pitching heavily and shipping<br />

seas. A stowa- way was set to labour<br />

at dirty work when he gave himself<br />

up on the sixth A Sketch of the Lady Egidia day. The four diarists<br />

recorded there was at times much seasickness<br />

and many complaints about the Doctor. Three families lost their only child and two<br />

lost all three of their children. One mother who had left an "ill-doing husband to fight her<br />

own way," had the death of her children described as "the hand of God has relieved her, of<br />

her burden." At the end of the voyage passengers were issued pieces of freestone for scrubbing<br />

the deck, and although it was not enforced they were expected to do it. "However, the<br />

single females are the only parties who refuse to come under subjection. Their dinner was<br />

kept from them until they would clean their place."<br />

Port Chalmers<br />

This fine immigrant vessel, the largest that had ever visited Otago, (at that date) arrived at<br />

the Heads on Saturday last, after a voyage of about 104 days from Glasgow. On her departure<br />

she had on board 438 souls, equal to 371 statute adults, comprising 58 married couples,<br />

137 single males, 70 single females, 96 children between 1 and 12, and 19 infants, but<br />

this number decreased by the occurrence of 32 deaths against 7 births. The deaths were,<br />

with two exceptions, those of children. The two adults were young men who were in a very<br />

bad state of health when they embarked..<br />

The "Lady Egidia" was a new vessel, on her maiden voyage, was described as very lofty<br />

between decks, and altogether excellently adapted for the conveyance of a large number of<br />

passengers. It was written that the immigrants spoke in the highest terms of the quality and<br />

abundance of the provisions and water provided. (entries in diaries showed there was some<br />

disquiet over the quality of food, salt and water) The "Lady Egidia" was towed in from<br />

outside the heads the by the paddle steamer "Geelong," which brought up the passengers to<br />

the Dunedin Jetty at about 7p.m. They were all quickly housed in the immigration barracks<br />

as temporary accommodation. The immigrants were described in an editorial as "scarcely<br />

equal in appearance to some of our late arrivals."<br />

The demand for the services of the new arrivals was as usual considerable, and numbers<br />

have already found permanent situations. The young men and female servants have no<br />

difficulty in this matter - the married people with large families are not so readily absorbed,<br />

but temporary work is provided for all. Young men were said to have refused offers of 50<br />

pounds per annum, with rations, in favour of 7/- per diem for day labour. There may have<br />

been no advantage in this when the expense of board and lodging in the town and the loss<br />

of time from broken weather was taken into consideration. At the time the "Lady Egidia"<br />

arrived the Government was employing a large number of hands on public works, during<br />

the fine weather for road-making.<br />

The "Egidia" made a second voyage from Glasgow to Otago, sailing on January 12th. 1862.<br />

She arrived at Port Chalmers on May 7th, 1862, via Launceston, van Dieman’s Land, after an<br />

unpleasant and protracted voyage. When she left Glasgow there were 217 passengers for<br />

Launceston and 70 or 80 for Otago. On June 4th, 1862, she sailed from Port Chalmers for<br />

Melbourne in ballast, with 250 passengers and 579oz. 18dwts. of gold dust. The vessel made<br />

two more voyages to New Zealand between 1867 and 1869.<br />

On March 31, 1868, the "Lady Egidia" sailed for London with the largest cargo yet to leave<br />

Otago. It included 5,627 bales of wool, 16 bales of skins, and 32 bales of leather. In 1813 she<br />

was resold to C. H. Kernot, of Calcutta. The vessel retained the name "Lady Egidia" until 1882, when she was broken up<br />

SHAG POINT<br />

It is not known how many of the family worked in the Shag Point mine but it figured richly in tales handed down. Records show that John and Thomas were married whilst<br />

working there and seven <strong>Manderson</strong> children were born in the area. Shag Point is a headland on the Otago Coast at the southern end of Katiki Beach (67 kilometres north of<br />

Dunedin.) In 1863 the first coal mine, known as Vulcan Head was opened, and by 1880 mining had become a large scale operation with nearly 200 people employed. About<br />

40,000 tons of coal was mined annually from under the sea, and the inflowing of water often besieged the operation. Some time between Jock’s birth in early 1886 and Maggie’s<br />

in early 1888, Peter, Thomas and William moved their families across to the West Coast to join John who had been there since 1884.<br />

In 1902 the pumps failed and serious flooding of the mine caused it to close. At the time Vulcan Head was the third largest coal mine in the Otago province. In later years it was<br />

pumped dry and reopened although it never operated on such a large scale again. Linda Brand remembered being taken by her grandmother to meet her uncle Charles William<br />

<strong>Manderson</strong> and seeing the light on his helmet as he emerged covered in coal dust. The time of this meeting would have been about the end of World War I.<br />

The miners’ cottages are now used as cribs and there is a tiny boat harbour with steel rings imbedded in the rocks where the collier Shag used to moor last century. From there<br />

the bagged coal was transferred to schooners lying offshore. Exposed coal seams are visible on the cliffs, collapsed coal shafts, an explosives magazine, trolley remains,<br />

tramway supports and large heaps of mine tailings. Eroded rock stacks along the shore are populated by fur seals, an occasional Hooker sea lion and hundreds of shags.<br />

4. Peter MANDERSON. Born 5<br />

14 March 1934 in Runanga, NZL.<br />

Buried in Greymouth, NZL. Occupation<br />

Miner. Aged 81 Years.<br />

“He came out from Scotland aged<br />

nine and probably had little schooling<br />

- held a pen between fingers<br />

(thumb not used) but read the newspaper.”<br />

21<br />

Peter owned property in the Nightcaps<br />

in the 1880s. His first three<br />

children were foundation pupils of<br />

the Nightcaps School. When the<br />

family moved across to the Brunner<br />

Mine they are believed to have travelled<br />

on foot.<br />

He married Eliza Jane Stevenson, 2 Oct 1874 in Green Island, NZL. Born<br />

1855 in Whitehaven, GBR. Died 20 Nov 1933 in Greymouth, NZL. Aged<br />

78 Years.<br />

“As an infant I remeber old Grannie,<br />

Eliza Jane Stevenson, on Coal<br />

Creek farm with flood marks on the<br />

wall! They moved to Runanga and<br />

had coloured pictures of Royalty<br />

hanging on bedroom walls. I never<br />

knew why; maybe coming from<br />

Cumberland, it was the custom to<br />

display one’s loyalty!” 21<br />

The death occurred, last evening at the<br />

Grey River Hospital, of Eliza <strong>Manderson</strong>,<br />

wife of Peter <strong>Manderson</strong>, of<br />

Runanga. Deceased had been in illhealth<br />

during the past twelve months.<br />

1902 in Kiripaka, NZL. Buried in Ngunguru, NZL. Occupation Miner.<br />

Aged 48 Years.<br />

John was working at Shag Point when they married. From there they moved<br />

to Denniston, a busy coal town, high in the misty hills behind Westport.<br />

There was no road in, and all goods and people had to ride a coal truck up<br />

or down the famous incline which near the top rises in a gradient of 1 to 1.<br />

Their first 11 children were all born up that mountain and it must have<br />

been around 1897 that they moved north to the coal mine at Kiripaka, out<br />

of Whangarei. Their cottage was at the foot of the hill and perched on 7<br />

foot blocks to be safe from the floods. In the village were 3 stores, a Post<br />

Office, a butcher and Fyfe’s Boarding house which frequently flooded.<br />

Four years later Georgina died of heart disease and less than a year later,<br />

John was drowned<br />

whilst rowing home<br />

after tending her<br />

grave. John and<br />

Georgina are buried<br />

together in Section<br />

1 Plot 15 of the<br />

Cape Horn Cemetery<br />

at Ngunguru.<br />

This cemetery is on<br />

the Cape Horn<br />

29 October 1894 in Great Barrier Island, NZL. Miner. Aged 37 Years.<br />

He married Agnes McEwin, 1880.<br />

Drowned when the steamship “Wairarapa” was wrecked on the rocks of<br />

Great Barrier Island. Excerpts from newspapers of the day told the<br />

story:<br />

It now seems certain that a man named William <strong>Manderson</strong> and his brother’s wife<br />

were drowned in the Wairarapa. <strong>Manderson</strong> was for five or six years a deputy in<br />

the Westport Coal Company’s mine at Denniston. He went to Coolgardie three or<br />

four months ago, leaving his wife at Denniston, and was returning, bringing the<br />

wife of his brother, who resides in Sydney, on a visit to a friend in the district.<br />

The Evening Post, 8 November 1894<br />

The Union Steamship Company has received from the Sydney office a list of the<br />

passengers who left Sydney by the Wairarapa, about as correct as is possible to<br />

make it. The following is the list of those lost: Amongst those listed is Mrs<br />

<strong>Manderson</strong>,in the Saloon area, and Mr <strong>Manderson</strong> in Steerage.<br />

The Evening Post, 13th November, 1894<br />

In all 74 bodies have been recovered up to date. A body recovered some days ago,<br />

and identified as Bird, has now been pretty conclusively proved to be that of<br />

M.Anderson, a Westport miner, while another body has been identified as that of<br />

Bird. The Evening Post, 15th November, 1894<br />

Suffered terrible headaches, believed to have been caused by a brain<br />

tumour. Decison of the Coroner’s Court was that Charles <strong>Manderson</strong><br />

died at Mosgiel Junction on the 8th day of September 1903. The cause of<br />

death was given as a self inflicted gunshot wound.<br />

Page 5<br />

For the family there was a sequel reported in a newspaper article as:<br />

A FRIENDLY SUIT.<br />

A REMINISCENCE OF THE WAIRARAPA WRECK.<br />

A singular case was heard in Chambers at Wellington on the 31st ult. before<br />

the Chief Justice. When the Wairarapa was wrecked on the Great Barrier<br />

Island in October 1894, there were on board two New Zealand miners<br />

named George Bird (of Petone) and Angus <strong>Manderson</strong>, who were returning<br />

from Coolgardie. Each was supposed to have left Sydney with money<br />

in his possession. Both were drowned, and subsequently their bodies were<br />

washed ashore, and buried in the same grave. Among the effects taken off<br />

the bodies were two belts, in one of which was £133 in gold. Somehow the<br />

effects got mixed up, and no one was afterwards able to say from which<br />

body the gold was taken. The money was in due course deposited with the<br />

Public Trustee, and recently Messers Menteath and Beere on behalf of the<br />

representatives of <strong>Manderson</strong> made claim to it. Under the singular circumstances<br />

the Public Trustee declined to pay over the money, which was subsequently<br />

claimed by Mr T Young on behalf of the representatives of Bird.<br />

Ultimately it was agreed by the parties to divide the money, with the consent<br />

of the Trustee and the sanction of the Supreme Court. A friendly suit was<br />

accordingly instituted, which came before the Chief Justice to-day in the<br />

form of a motion to an order directing the Public Trustee to make an equal<br />

division of the money. His Honor after reserving his decision, gave judgement<br />

ordering the money to be equally divided between the representatives<br />

of the two men. 7<br />

Charles Elizabeth Jane Dickson<br />

He married Elizabeth Jane Dickson, 1882. Born 1859. Died June 1932 in<br />

Dunedin, NZL. Aged 73 Years.<br />

Family members with her daughter, Margaret, when she died, came to<br />

Elizabeth’s house to tell her the news. Elizabeth sat up with her face<br />

glowing, smiled and began speaking to someone across the room. Those<br />

gathered around her bedside say she seemed to be having a conversation<br />

with her husband Charles just before she too died. Faye Nicholson says<br />

she remembers Elizabeth smoking a clay pipe and roasting potatoes and<br />

onions in the ash pan, of the coal range, at night after tea. 14<br />

They had the following children:<br />

55 i. Mary Jane MANDERSON<br />

9. Archibald MANDERSON. Born 30 June 1864 in Saddle Hill, NZL. Died<br />

30 August 1940 in Green Island, NZL. Occupation Miner. Aged 76 Years.<br />

Archie <strong>Manderson</strong> was bald and wore a hat in bed. He stayed at our house<br />

once ... used to drink a bit. One night he went out and got confused about<br />

the houses. He went next door, thinking it was our place, got the window<br />

open and was trying to get in. “Are you there George, are you there Mag?”<br />

He yelled out. The neighbour, Mr Crawford’s name was George too but<br />

his wife’s name was Vera, so he knew it was our place that Archie thought<br />

he was at. Mr Crawford was an amputee and had been going to give<br />

Archie a crack on the head with his walking stick. Archie’s life was probably<br />

saved by his saying, “are you there Mag.” Mum and Mr Crawford<br />

had a laugh over that!


I remember him telling me once about a Salvation Army lass coming<br />

to his door at Saddle Hill. He was a miner too and had been sleeping<br />

late. His wife wasn’t home so he had to get up and answer the door.<br />

The Salvation Army lass standing there asked him if he had found<br />

Jesus. “Christ, I didn’t know he was lost!” Archie said. He laughed<br />

so much when he told me this that tears were rolling down his cheeks.<br />

1894 in Great Barrier Island, NZL.<br />

Recorded as Mrs <strong>Manderson</strong>, a saloon passenger, on the ill fated<br />

Wairarapa which ran aground on Great Barrier Island. Was accompanying<br />

her brother in law William, to visit a friend in New Zealand.<br />

Archibald travelled out on the next available boat and is said not to<br />

have known of Rebecca’s death until he reached New Zealand some<br />

six weeks later. Rebecca’s entry on the Death Register is: (F) <strong>Manderson</strong><br />

because the authorities apparently had no details to her identity, other<br />

than the passenger list.<br />

After Percy left school he trained as a butcher at Ohaupo. He joined the<br />

Europe with the New Zealand Rifle Brigade, embarking on the 30th of<br />

July 1916. Early in the war he was a runner, and had to relay messages<br />

back and forward between the front and back lines, on foot. As a rifleman<br />

he earned the Distinguished Conduct Medal, which was pinned on him at<br />

Buckingham Palace by Edward the VIII. His citation in the London Gazette<br />

dated 18th February 1919 reads: "For conspicuous gallantry near<br />

Crevecoeor, 5th October 1918, during a minor operation in establishing<br />

bridgeheads across a canal at de L'Escort when his platoon came suddenly<br />

under heavy machine gunfire he immediately with a complete disregard<br />

of danger engaged two enemy machine guns with such effect that his<br />

platoon was able to reach the trench unsequently when the platoon was<br />

heavily counter-attacked and had to withdraw; he remained behind and<br />

covered the withdrawal."<br />

From the official history of the New Zealand Rifle Brigade 2 states: "Their<br />

advance had been greatly aided by the bold action of a Lewis gunner, Rifleman<br />

P. <strong>Manderson</strong>, who, working in the open, engaged the enemy machine<br />

guns firing within 100 yards. <strong>Manderson</strong> now remained behind to cover<br />

their retirement, and, through heavily fired upon, he succeeded both in this<br />

and later rejoining them later on with his gun." He was wounded on the<br />

13th of October 1918, returned on the 28th February 1919 and was discharged<br />

due to wounds on the 28th of March of the same year. His discharge<br />

papers indicate he received an extra pension of 6d a day for life<br />

from the Imperial Government, for being the holder of the D.C.M.

110. Hubert John Hart. Occupation School Teacher.<br />

I struck the Depression years with my education at college. After skipping<br />

a class at High School and being runner-up for Dux, I was out of work ‘til<br />

age 25 years. Teachers’ Training College were closed and five year olds<br />

were excluded until six years, etc. While teaching at Cross Creek I was<br />

drafted into Fort Dorset at age 30. When the invasion scare was over we<br />

were asked to “volunteer” for mines, forestry, or railway to keep up production,<br />

but not discharged. That meant another four years on seven shillings<br />

a day, and keep. When released I went back to Varsity and finished<br />

a B.A. and Diploma of Teaching, retiring at 65 years.” 21<br />

Charlie, the eldest of three boys, left school to work for his father in the<br />

was made to dairying, he milked cows and delivered milk on the milk round.<br />

He moved with his young wife and child to a run down 200 acre dairy<br />

farm in Hamua. With his brother Arthur they improved it to a point where<br />

it became one of the most productive farms in the northern Wairarapa.<br />

puchased, another 252 acre dairy farm, and this, together with the home<br />

she went to work at the Epuni Nurseries<br />

where she met Charlie. They<br />

married and lived in Lower Hutt<br />

until Marlene, their second born,<br />

was just three weeks old. Then with<br />

their few belongings, they moved to<br />

was their second trip to the farm<br />

having spent three months in a<br />

batch that had been part of an early<br />

creamery. The batch had no electricity,<br />

no toilet and no cooking or<br />

washing facilities. The water was<br />

drawn from a well, and a hot plate<br />

over an open fire was her only<br />

means of cooking.<br />
