it goes

Edmund and Emma
12 Children

Edmund m Margaret Shaw
3 Children

Leslie Shaw Fletcher m Ethel Beatrice Bishell
6 Children

Colin Shaw Fletcher m Mabel Frances Tremaine
2 Children
one of which is me.

I have been Interested in Genealogy, but more so now since my dad passed away 4 mths ago.

I have found out heaps. and since I live only 15 minutes from Saltwater Creek / Leithfield where they all settled, is great.

Edmund and Margaret had 3000 ha in Waikari which is only 1 1/2 hours from Rangiora where is live. and farm is still in family but not as big. Farm was taken over by eldest son Edward.

Any information or emailing copies of photos would be most welcome and appreciated. If there is anything i can help you with this end let me know.

Kind Regards
Kim Fletcher-Purdom
