FOUNDERS’ SOCIETY
Nth. Auckland Settlers
(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Dec. 22
The Founders’ Society at its final Dominion council meeting for the year decided to grant a request from the Auckland branch that descendants of the Waipu settlers of North Auckland be admitted as associate members of the society, provided that their forbears arrived on the six original ships. These were the Margaret and Highland Lass, 1853, the Gertrude, 1856, the Spray, 1857, the Bredalbane, 1858, and the Ellen Lass. 1860. This is the first occasion on which any pioneering group outside those who arrived on New Zealand Company ships within a 10-year span of settlement in the six original provinces of New Zealand has been permitted to join the ranks of those New Zealanders whose ancestors founded Auckland (including Bay of Plenty), between January, 1840-50: Wellington (including Hawke’s Bay), 1840-50; Taranaki, March, 1841-51; Nelson and Marlborough, February, 184252; Otago and Southland, March, 1848-58; and Canterbury and Westland, December, 185000.
