Margaret Barton (niece) recalls "During this period (after her father died in 1873) my Grandmother Taylor & Uncle Basil (Mary Caroline FOX & her son, Basil Kirke TAYLOR) had a trap accident at Turakina. Grandmother TAYLOR had her leg broken, and was taken to "Ann Bank" the residence of the Lethbridges? where she was nursed. Uncle Basil was thrown out and a wheel passed over his chest. This subsequently caused his death. He went to Auckland for a change and stayed with Archdeacon Dudley. He became very ill and his wife, Aunty Edith, was sent for. As she was in delicate health, Basil then being only six weeks old, and she had to travel by a very small boat, my mother (Laura) accompanied her -Basil and my mother being particularly devoted to each other."

General Notes: Edith was the 2nd daughter - an older brother had gone to Wanganui and became a friend of Rev. Richard Taylor who took over the Putiki CMS Mission Station in 1843. Later Edith & Basil became engaged.

She sailed from Gravesend leaving 1 August 1863, and Basil met thesailing ship 'Queen of the Mersey' when she reached Auckland on 26 November 1863 and took his betrothed to stay with Sir William & Lady Martin at Judge's Bay, Parnell, and they were married on 3 Dec. 1863 by the Bishop of Waiapu at the nearby little St Stephen's Chapel. Edith wrote a diary of the voyage to NZ.

They had 5 children and an adopted daughter, and for some years she, with very limited help, cared for the Mission folk at Putiki. Basil died aged 45 in 1876. Later she bought a home in Wanganui (9 Campbell St) called 'Cossington' and lived there until she died in 1914. For many years church and
missionary folk stayed with Mrs Taylor at Cossington, and she was much loved by all who knew her.

For a long time she was Scripture Union Secretary for the Wanganui District, and that position was taken over by her younger son, Basil Maples Taylor.

Buried in Heads Rd, Wanganui cemetery.

She was called 'Grannie', always dressed in black, and on her white hair she wore a circle of white lace - the custom for old ladies.

190 F ii. Bertha Cecelia TAYLOR [10364] was born on 11 Nov 1866 in Putiki Wanganui New Zealand. Another name for Bertha was Cissie.

General Notes: Never married. She lived first with her sister, Ethel and, after Ethel's death in 1930, lived alone in "Cossington", 9 Campbell St, Wanganui. This was a 2-storey house painted red and had a large monkey puzzle tree in the front lawn. She fell and broke her hip some time after 1930, and walked with a crutch for the rest of her days. In her last years she was more or less confined to her bed. She was a patient sufferer and, when she died, shel eft the family home and all it contained to Basil Maples Taylor, including many Richard Taylor relics, some of which eventually came to Richard Basil Taylor. (From Richard Basil Taylor's "Family Recollections")

She died in 1946 in Wanganui, and was buried at Heads Rd Cemetery,Wanganui.

General Notes: Never married. Ethel was a trained physiotherapist and operated her practice from a front room at Cossington.

Ethel was a buxom, jolly woman with a great sense of humour. She was always teasing, and called her youngest brother 'Skim', a nickname she had given him because as a little boy he was obliged to have skim rather than whole milk!

In 1893 she was living at Campbell St, Wanganui as a governess.

She once put cotton wool in her mouth to disguise her voice and padded her clothes, and rang her brother Herbert, saying she had violent toothache and could he see her straight away. Apparently Herbert didn't recognise her until she was in the dentist's chair and, being the serious man he was, was not at all amused!

She died in Wanganui on 23 August 1930, and is buried at Heads Rd Cemetery in the Taylor plot.
"In Loving Memory of Ethelred R. A. TAYLOR, daughter of Rev. Basil Kirke and Edith Palmer TAYLOR. Called to her rest 23rd August 1930. 'There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God'."

Lived in Putiki, Wanganui as a girl, and on 19 August 1844 her father wrote "I am afraid Laura is in very delicate health at present, she is so sensitive and yet is rapidly advancing in her studies being very intellectual."

In 1859 she married Thomas Henry HARPER, lived and farmed at Wai Ora, Westmere, Wanganui. One of her bridesmaids was her god-daughter, Edith Emma TYLEE, daughter of John Thomas TYLEE, her brother). Henry & Laura had 6 children - Lucy, Henry (Harry), Annie, Margaret (Maggie), Thomas & George. Laura was stricken by the loss of Lucy in 1868 at the age of 7, and by the death of her husband in 1873.

Even though considered to be of delicate health and suffering from frequent headaches, Laura managed the family, including her in-laws, and the farm at Wai Ora (500 acres) by herself.

(Written by Maggie (Laura's daughter) in her diaries - My mother had to work very hard as there was no help in those days. We employed 6 men, and my mother had to cook for them as well as doing all the house work and looking after us 6 children. She was not strong and suffered from very bad headaches. She made all our clothes and had no sewing machine, made all the bread - about 50 loaves a week - and 100 pounds of butter besides jam, bottled fruit, home made wine, soaps, candles and cured all the bacon and hams. My further hurt his back lifting a heavy weight when he was 34 and paralysis set in and he was an invalid for 4 years. She also had to teach us as there was no school anywhere near.

The house was 2-storied with 10 rooms (a large house) with gables and dormer windows so that the 4 bedrooms upstairs had sloping walls from the ceilings. It had a verandah and 1 steep staircase ascended from the hall. Round the house was a large garden. A short distance away was an orchard with all kinds of fruit trees.

Writing poetry, particularly of a religious character, was a favourite relaxation of my mother (Laura). She also used to have very vivid dreams- also of a religious import."

In 1877 Laura moved in to Wanganui to a new house in Ingestre St, but later moved to 'Sandown' in Campbell St to look after her mother. After her mother's death in 1884, Laura remained at 'Sandown', later taking a brief holiday in Australia with her daughters Annie & Maggie. Laura became ill on this trip and returned to Wanganui, where she remained until her death in May 1887.

Died in her mother's home at Sandown, Wanganui, from typhoid on 25 May1887. Will filed 8 June 1887 at Wellington Ct. Probate No. 2805. Wellington Archives.

General Notes: Henry was the only son of Thomas & Sarah HARPER.

Henry's daughter, Maggie, wrote "I think my father's parents came out from England before my father, the only child, who was left in England studying medicine. He never finished his course and came out to join his parents. The arrangement when my father married was that he should have the farm, and the old people should move into town and build on a section of land they had on the river bank. My mother made them so comfortable that they stayed on at Wai Ora.

I can never remember either of them doing anything to help, and it was a very unhappy state of affairs for my over-worked mother who was not the mistress of her own home.

My grandmother was a martinet and very critical of the wife of her only son, even when my father was ill for so long. I can remember my grandfather as a short stout man with a moustache and clean shaven chin but a fringe of beard surrounding it. My grandmother wore very stiff silk dresses."

Henry injured his spine at the age of 34 when lifting a heavy weight on the farm. He went to Sydney for treatment to no avail. Paralysis set in and he was bed-ridden. He suffered intensely for 4 years before his death at age 38 in 1873. He was interred in a private burial ground on the Wai Ora farm.

In her later years Mary was involved in the suffragette and temperance movements in the interests of Maori women.
Mary Catherine Taylor Medley collected a book of the signatures of some notable political figures of her day covering the period 1860-1922 (including Winston Churchill, Lloyd George, and the then Prince of Wales, Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII), and of her extended family members. She enjoyed a full social life with many distinguished friends, including the occupants for the time being of Govt. House, or Bishops Court, and various politicians, and she always entertained officers of visiting Naval vessels, and was entertained by them. By all accounts she had a charming personality, and "endeared herself to a very wide circle of friends". Her nephew Cranleigh Barton recalled "Aunt Mary was always poised and gracious and very good company."
She ended her days in Wellington, living with her unmarried daughter Adela at 15 Upland Road, Kelburn. She was invalid for some time before she died.

Robert Cecil TAYLOR [10373] (Mary Caroline FOX⁸⁸, Frances MAPLES⁴⁷, Gervase²⁹, Gervase¹⁸, Thomas³, Thomas², George¹) was born on 24 May 1837 in Liverpool Colony of New South Wales, died on 10 Jan 1909 in Auckland Auckland New Zealand at age 71, and was buried on 12 Jan 1909 in Purewa Cemetery Auckland New Zealand.

General Notes: Cecil was born at Liverpool, NSW, Australia. Youngest son of Richard & Mary TAYLOR.
Baptised 5 July 1837 by Rev Y Gunther, missionary. His sponsors were the Rev H Bobart, M.A., Church missionary to NZ, John Betts Esq of Parramatta and Mrs Allan of Moonbank near Liverpool.

He spent a short interlude at a school in Sydney with his brother, Basil.
After his return to Putiki, Wanganui, his time was spent mainly in helping about the mission property tending to stock. He later commenced farming at Kaitoke, near Wanganui.

In 1860 Cecil was required to serve in the militia, and in 1862 Octavius Had field appointed him to the superintendency of the mission farm at Otaki at a salary of 140 p.a., but it did not last.

In 1865 he was appointed as assistant superintendent in the local military transport service under James Booth at 10/- a day plus rations, but this did not last either.

Cecil married Elizabeth Paul DUFFUS at Mangonui, Northland in 1866. They had 6 children, and the first 3 children were born in Wanganui. About 1870 they shifted north and farmed at Orua Rangi near Auckland. Elizabeth's father, John DUFFUS, died in 1870, so they possibly took over his land.

His father suggested Cecil make use of the land he had purchased in the Far North, so went to visit it. "Much worthless land is included, but all the land near the sea is good and well grassed". His father thought it was a good place for growing banana, guava, oranges, lemons, sugarcane, coffee, tea and yams. The land proved to be not a viable farm for that period. Different ideas were tried but Cecil was left to struggle.

He died on 10 January 1909 in Auckland. Buried in Purewa Cemetery Auckland. Block D, Row 032, Plot 059. Aged 72, and lived at Sarsfield St.
Occupation - Settler in Ponsonby on his Probate records (Will BBAE 15697014/09). Cemetery fiche states he was retired, and possible cause of death - senile decay.

Headstone in Purewa: "In fond remembrance of Robert Cecil TAYLOR, son of the late Rev. Richard TAYLOR, M.A.; born May 21 1833, d. Jan 10 1909."

Robert married Elizabeth Paul DUFFUS [10472] [MRIN: 4766], daughter of Rev. John DUFFUS M.A. [10473] and Maria Harriette PAUL [10474], on 18 Dec 1866 in Mangonui Northland New Zealand. Elizabeth was born on 28 Feb 1832 in Tetbury Gloucestershire England, died on 20 May 1908 in Auckland Auckland New Zealand at age 76, and was buried on 22 May 1908 in Purewa Cemetery Auckland New Zealand.

General Notes: Born in Gloucester, England.

On 16 May 1838, Elizabeth sailed for Australia with her parents from England by the sailing ship "Eden", a little girl who was destined later to become one of New Zealand's early pioneers. She was Elizabeth Paul DUFFUS, the eldest daughter of the Rev'd John DUFFUS, M.A., Oxon., who was under appointment to the Australian Anglican Church.

In 1848, after 10 years spent in NSW, the family came to NZ in search of a more congenial climate.
For some time they lived in Auckland, later moving to the North, where a permanent home was made at Mangonui.

There Elizabeth met and later was married to Robert Cecil TAYLOR, youngest son of the Rev'd Richard TAYLOR, M.A., Cambridge, one of the best known of the C.M.S. Missionaries to N.Z.

Richly endowed with personal gifts of heart and mind, including a rarely keen sense of humour, Elizabeth Paul Duffus TAYLOR buoyantly faced all the limitations and hardships of early NZ life.

She passed away on 20 May 1908 leaving to those who knew her a priceless memory of love and light-hearted courage based upon an intense faith in an over-ruling Power.

(From the preface of "Twilight Musings" by Elizabeth P D Taylor)
