Hello everybody,

Since I subscribed to this list all seems very quiet,so I hope someone is out there.

I am endeavouring to find out more about my Great Aunts Margaret and Bertha Biggs who left England between 1914-15 and lived for a long period in Rapaure Road,Hastings and in fact where they both died. Neither married. My father told me they had at one time a pea farm but his info hasn't always been reliable.

Bertha Jane died 10th September 1966 and Margaret Maude died 24th March 1973.

Apart from their life in New Zealand I woiuld be most interested to learn the Ship the travelled in and where they docked.

Any information or advice as to where I can get it will be most appreciated.

Regards from John Biggs in miserable,windy freezing cold England
