> GREGOR) was born on 19 August 1880 in Kereta,
Notes from Beverley Wenzlick (youngest
daughter): Gregory had to leave home at age
eleven to stay and work at Ohaupo. Learnt all about farming, horses, orchard
work and bee-keeping. Gregory became a bullock driver and bushman later. He
tried to go to the Boer War but was too short, although he had a 17 hand
horse. He survived many accidents and illnesses including typhoid fever and
blood poisoning. Gregory was a very good dancer and won many competitions. We loved our Dad, he had such a fun
personality, strong, kind and understanding. Greg was a devoted husband and
doting father. We couldn't play up - not because he'd growl at us but it
would just be letting him down. Gregory's sister Annie was
Emma's great friend and introduced her to the Wenzlick family. Emma had
"gone out" with Frank - his sandshoes put her off she said! Greg
noticed her rich auburn hair and neat ankles (naughty boy!) He told her he
had no money but she said "You are not afraid of work and neither am I"
or words to that effect. Emma was Methodist and Gregory was Catholic so they
decided to marry in the Anglican Church and bring up any children as
Anglicans. They had a big wedding - bridesmaids dressed in pastel rainbow
colours, white horses to pull their carriage etc. Emma's brother Robert was
her groomsman. After they married they lived at Manganai
where Greg worked in the bush bullocking - a big change for a fashionable
lady. Their first born, Gregory Alexander, was born in |
