I met an Avis Ramsden sister of Garth, when we baby sat at 101 Blake St Blaketown around very late 1950s. But she would have been younger than the one in this photo

Sharryn Mountford-Gibbs

Avis was my Nana Richards cousin

Pauline Healey
Barb Rodway I have this photo, which I think I got from you. Taken about 1914, it shows Avis as a child. Seated next to her is Avis’s grandmother Mary Elizabeth McEwin (née Griffiths). Standing above Mary Elizabeth is another granddaughter Florence Avis Russell (your grandmother) and on Florence’s right is Mary Elizabeth’s daughter-in-law (and mother of Avis) Mary “Meb” McEwin (née Lawn). Sorry, this all sounds a bit complicated!
May be an image of 3 people, child and people standing

Max Vicki Messenger
Met young Avis through Garth. Worked with Garth and socialised with him in Greymouth and again in Wellington. Both involved with hockey in Greymouth and in Upper Hutt

Remember Avid and Sid Ramsden well. My parents took us to Blackball many a Sunday to visit them. That would be about 70 years ago.
