"Mr John Clunie BISHOP was a son of William BISHOP, one of NZ's earliest settlers who took up land under the NZ Company's system who came out from Bath, England, to the new settlement in the Nelson district. Subsequently Mr Wm BISHOP and his family moved to Wellington where in time they came to be well known in society circles in those early days of the city.

Mr J C BISHOP was born at 4 a.m. on 22 June 1856 in Wellington and was educated at Wellington Boys College (on the opening roll). He began his business career with the old-established firm of Turnbull & Co. His experience was afterwards enlarged by travel in Australia, mainly in Queensland. On his return to Wellington he set up as an indent agent. He later joined the staff of the Mutual Life and Citizens Assurance Co.

Mr BISHOP in his younger days was a well-known sportsman. He was a keen yachtsman, a member of the Star Boating Club, and a representative player for Wellington Rugby football. He was, too, a foundation member of the Wellington Chess Club, and for some time its secretary. For many years he had taken an active part in Christian work.

In his mother's will dated 1894, he is Storekeeper of Marton.

In 1896 Mr BISHOP married Miss Edith Mary DAVEY, daughter of the late Mr H M DAVEY, C.E., Dunedin. He was 29 yrs older than his bride whom he had carried ashore as a baby when her parents first landed at Petone Beach in 1877. He tried to be a business man, a farmer in the Wairarapa but he was best as a scholarly man and priest to the Catholic Apostolic Church in Webb St, Wellington.

In 1907 he tried his hand at farming in Konini, a small town north of Pahiatua but returned to Wellington in 1908.

He lived with his daughter, Peggy & Winston TAYLOR at Plimmerton in his last years, and died at 85 years just a month before Peggy's twins were born in 1942. He was buried in Karori Cemetery, Wellington with his wife, Edith Mary DAVEY.

"Was born in Glamorgan, Cardiff, Wales. Came out to NZ as a 3 yr old in the ship 'Leicester' in 1877 and landed at Petone Beach.

Was a loving grandmother and very artistic. Her home was 'home' to many, and the dining table was enormous and often full.

She was a handsome woman, always well dressed in tailor-made suits, and had a lovely fresh comlexion and pretty curly hair. She liked "red" colour, and she had quite a lot of red china, cups, saucers, plates and vases. She had cream curtains with quaint Dutch figures embroidered on the hems. She and John were no gardeners but the flower beds produced perennials, roses bloomed on the verandah rails, and sweetpeas climbed up the wall towards the upstairs bedrooms. Nasturtiums and blackberries rambled over an old wooden wall.

Edith Mary DAVEY died after a gall bladder operation, and is buried in Karori Cemetery, Wellington. (Area 01, Block A, Row 08, Plot 013)"

General Notes:In an attachment to an email, dated February 19, 2003, Sylvia Robertson said:

Born in Waipukurau. Attended the local school.

In 2001 Helen talked about her family attending the local Anglican Church, but as her mother had attended the Catholic Apostolic Church in Wellington in her youth, they still 'belonged' to it. They valued the visits and information coming from Wellington very highly, and found it much more valuable than church attendance with the Anglican church.
Her mother, Maude, was John Clunie BISHOP's youngest sister.

Attended Napier Anglican Girls boarding school, Woodford House, for a year. Then had a year taking art lessons, and enjoyed many years of sketching.

Never married, and helped look after her parents and family of brothers on the farm.

In Woburn Home, 7 Holyrood Tce, Waipukurau - in Sept. 93 (aged 89)
Visited April 2000 and Oct. 2001. Now aged 97. Has difficulty walking now, and with carpel tunnel affecting herhands, is unable to write and sketch.
