Stephanie Keen Can anyone tell me the name of Dolly's parents so that I can work out how she fits into my family tree. Thanks.

Ron Hibbs Dolly was my aunt, she was my fathers sister. Her parents were Alice and Arthur Hibbs. The house was my great grandmothers ( who I never knew) my grandmother Alice divorced my grandfather and married twice more. Her husbands names were Rouse and Goulding. Alice lived to about 93 and died in 1976, she is buried with her parents at Karoro cemetery. My grandfather Arthur is also buried at Karoro, with his eldest son who was accidentally killed at about the age of 11.

Jean Boniface Ron Hibbs - you a ball of knowledge. Never knew Aunty Dolly's name was Alice too.

Ron Hibbs Jean Boniface I didn’t know that either, always thought her name Was Dorothy/ Dolly

Eileen O'Neil Sandra Loveday I remember her well

Les Connor Alice was my great grandmother-her daughter Phylis was my Grandmother and her father was Arthur Hibbs

Geoffrey Bell I remember Mick and Dolly Johnson. Dolly used to place Euchre with my parents in the Camerons Hall. They had a yummy quince tree behind their house. Great jam. We lived at 991 Main South Road. Colour corrected in the photo.

Linda King My Mum Bub Kelly was good friends with Dolly. They use to go for a bike ride after tea and always pushed their bike back. Lots of laughter. Dolly and Micks grand children went to Cameron's school for a while. Diane and I were great friends. Great memories of them both.

Elaine Rainey Our family lived next door to Dolly and Mick for years. Remember them both really well. My mum was Shirley Holmes née Hibbs. Her father was Joe Hibbs..We are related somehow to Dolly through Joes brother. Can anyone enlighten me further. I remember Alice getting around Camerons.

Carole Williams I remember Alice and Dolly really and am in touch with one of the Hibbs kids, Merle Brown nee Hibbs, who lives in Paeroa of the famous drink bottle. I’ve been too see her a few times until I got sick. She was Jean Hibbs cousin and talked a lot about Mi…See More

Linda King Carole Williams I remember Mrs Maher made a lot of the 21st cakes and wedding cakes for most of the people in Camerons and Gladstone and Mum iced them. Wish I had some photos. I remember watching her ice them.

Elaine Rainey Didnt realise your mum iced them Linda. She must have iced mine too as Mrs Maher made it.

Elaine Rainey Carole Williams We certainly were cheeky kids. I remember being cheeky to people but most of all Billy Jones when he was riding that bike with the box on the front.

Pam Eddy Mrs Maher made my wedding cake 50 years ago still remember how beautiful it was .Bill Maher taught me at school .Great memories of school and swimming in the Cameron's school pool with the brown water and the frogs often swimming in with us

Carole Williams Linda King she definitely made mine
