Emma-Jane Pascoe and Elizabeth Chinn, at Crushington near Reefton

About this image

DescriptionPictured here is Emma-Jane and her Mother In Law, Elizabeth (Nee Higgins, MacDonald) Chinn, with twins William & Lillan and sister Elise at their house in Crushington.

When Emma Jane PASCOE was born on 2 September 1875 in Macetown, Otago, her father, Simon, was 32, and her mother, Caroline, was 27. She married William Hill Chinn on 17 April 1901. They had six children during their marriage. Her last baby was my husband's Nana, Alice Louisa Chinn. Emma died on 13 October 1958 in Christchurch, Canterbury, at the age of 83, and was buried in Bromley, Canterbury.
Macetown was a mining community in the goldrush. Hubby and I have visited this place, which is basically just the remains of a bakery now. We have the autobiography of Emma's husband, Tyler's great grandfather. They went on to become pioneers in the flax industry and faced great tragedy and rewards many times.

I didn't realise there were so many Pascoe families on the Coast. I've just been helping a lady with Jobn Pascoe and his wife Elizabeth Hartshorne from Brunnerton. There were at least three other John's around at the same time

My grandmother was Elizabeth Chinn, nee Trembath. Her husband was Fred who died in an accident a few months before my mother was born. My mother mentioned Hillchinns. Contributed by Les Linklater.

I've lived in a house just like that .I had to climb on the roof when it rains to loosen a ball cocktail that would jam sending water down into the lounge .it eventually caught fire.
