On arrival in Auckland the family lived in the Vulcan Lane area before moving to Kawau Island in 1845 where Peter was employed in the copper mine. The family remained on Kawau until the copper mine closed, then moved to Great Barrier where Peter was storekeeper for a few years before returning to Kawau circa 1859. In 1872 Sir George Grey reopened the island school and appointed Peter as schoolmaster. Margaret died in Auckland in 1858 and is buried in the Presbyterian section of the Symonds St Cemetery in Auckland. Peter died on Kawau in 1879 and is buried in Boyd’s Hill Cemetery, Kawau Island. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
