Cashmere Bay has a real history for our family; for the Kemps (well, from Leslie Robert Kemp and down) for the Hills (from Albert Victor and down) for the Abbotts – moved there from Manakau way back in 1910 (ish) and for some of the Colvilles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Colvilles and the Abbotts must have had connections before Grandad Abbott moved down to Te Kinga with his wife and young children back in 1910.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interestingly enough, his Mum was on the census for 1890-something for the Levin area. Also the Colvilles were from Manakau (not far from Levin) and William and his wife are both buried in the Manakau cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an aside….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William Harrison Hill and his wife and a few kids came out from England back in the day from a place called Cachoe (Coxhoe) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ive been there. I dont know what it was like back in the late 1800s, but it isnt flash now. I can understand why they left. What I havent been able to establish, is which ship they arrived on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any clues anyone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
