Hello. My name is Christine. When I was a little girl my mum and dad took us to visit uncle Storey and Aunty Jean heaps. I can still remember the movie nights at theirs on the old film projector. We use to watch Charlie Chapman and Laurel and Hardie. Uncle Storey use to have budgies and Canaries out the back of his house. We also used to go camping with them sometimes to Pohara. My mum was Aunty Jeans niece. I still have some photos
John Jacobs
I love these old photos being posted. I see a few of my relatives in this photo from my late mothers side. Mum, Eileen Campbell arrived at in Runanga from Newcastle Upon Tyne in 1926. Grand parents, Alexander & Emma along with Eileen, Frank, John & Alec resided in Runanga for many years. Grandad was a miner most of his life. Keep these photos going.
