Lyn N Moe It certainly looks different to how I remember it. A lot of the houses have gone.

Lyn N Moe
Eleanor Morel I was surprised too, they had mostly been altered but the middle one left was a bit like it.

Michelle Gaultier

Heather Newby the name was changed to O'Donnell Street, its off Tainui street

Eleanor Morel
Karen Potter It is the next little street going south after Murray Street. My Grandparents lived there from the early 1900’s till 1963. In fact from the little I can make out from the photo in was in a house very similar to this. They lived opposite the Roberts and beside the Corcorans.

Eleanor Morel just curious but you would not be related a norman morel.he is on grandma's side that would be in the 1800s.weare coasters from 1859.

Eleanor Morel
Ralph Jonathan Croawell David doesn’t think so but it is possible, especially if the name Morel is spelt the right way. Two brothers came out from Switzerland, Gustave and Charles. David is descended from Gustave. Charles had no children. So he could be descended from one of Gustaves children. David’s grandfather was Alphonse. Who was your Grandmother?

Brick Street changed its name to O'Donnell Street. We grew up in that street until about 1975. I wonder what number this house was as there were not many houses in the small no exit street

Les Holmes Germanicus
The name of Brick St came about because my great great grandfather Betts established a small brickmaking works there. This must have been in the early 1870s.

Does anyone know if Emilie Hahn was related to the Hahn family in Ahaura? In all my times looking at the family history with Aunty May Martin, nee Hahn, I don't recall seeing an Emilie.
