  14. this being presumed to have been derived from her age as given on her marriage cert, but this is 3 yrs prior to Honor's baptism. Perhaps she advanced her age in order to wed without parental permission? It is assumed that she was baptised soon after birth as the 1831 year that implies agrees with the age given in the 1851 census
  15. Certified copy reads: On 6 June 1897 at Huirangi, Honor Rowe, 66 years, of rhematic arthritis and senile decay, exhaustion 14 days. Father ..Dow, miller, Mother's names unknown. NB Father's name should read Daw. Buried 9 Jun 1897 Huirangi. Born England, in New Zealand 45 years. Married at unknown age in England to William Rowe. Survived by M 44,40,34,30,25,22 (assumed to be Matt, William Henry, Alfred, Albert and John resp.) F 36,32,27 (assumed to be Helen (Turnbull), Elizabeth and Sarah)
    Dth notice read: Rowe On June 6th at her residence Huirangi, Honnor (sic), the wife of W Rowe. The funeral of the late Mrs Honnor Rowe will leave her late residence for the Huirangi Cemetery at 2pm on Wed Jun 9th Friends kindly accept this intimation
  16. Plot 66 h/stone reads:ILMO Honnour the beloved wife of William Rowe died Jun 6th 1897 aged 66 years; Also William Rowe died 25th Apr 1915 aged 88 years. Sarah Rowe died 26 Sep 1901 aged 31 yrs. (Honnour was buried 9 Jun 1897, Sarah (their dtr who died in a fire) on 29 Sep 1901 and William on 27 Apr 1915, William is between his wife an ddtr)
  17. (mar. cert implies 1828, 1851 cens. implies 1831 and provides place of Tavistock (from Marion M), Lois provides the place detail of Newton Mill and a day of 27th, although this is seems to be the baptism, not birth, date)
  18. from Devon, England. "In New Zealand 45 years" on Honor's 1897 death cert, which implies 1852, son Matthias had supposedly been in New Zealand 46 yrs in 1901, which implies 1855 (assumes Matt came to New Zealand with his mother as he would only be about 3 in 1855) An obituary held by Marian M says "4 years after husband" and their next son was born Jul 1857, so Honor has to have arrived prior to Nov 1856. Husband William's 1915 dth cert says he had been in New Zealand 61 yrs, which implies he emigrated c 1854, which makes the 4 yr gap hard to fit in
  19. Family lore (Eric) has it that Harry (Matt's son, Honor's grdson) "called on Honor Daw's people in London in WWI". Who exactly they were we do not know, although several of the Rowe/Dawe relations did indeed live in London. One descendant (Alice) recalls being told they had a lot of clocks!
