Clare Pierson Mary Elizabeth Ann (Mollie) Neads (not Meads) 5th from the left in the 3rd row, was born in 1898 in Hokitika. She was the Matron of Seaview Mental Hospital from 1932 to 1940. She married Ian Anderson. Her brother Joseph William John (Bill) Neads, 3rd from the left in the front row, was born in 1899 in Hokitika. He died when he was 55 years old in 1954. They were first cousins of Alice May (McQuilkin) Pierson, my mother. Their common grandparents were Mary (Sweeney) McQuilkin from Cork, Ireland and John McQuilkin from Torr head County Antrim Northern Ireland, who had a small dairy farm at the top of the first hill along the road from the current dump.

Clare Pierson Given the birth dates of some of these children and their sizes, the photo must have been taken at least after 1905.
