Bev would like help to identify this Balclutha Borough Council group believed to be from the late 1870’s.
Identified so far are:
William STEWART – back row 2nd from left
Peter MASON - back row 3rd from left
John Hartley JENKINSON – back row 5th from left
Robert HOGG – front row right end

Can you identify the woman’s habit?
As far as is known, there were no Catholic nuns in the family.

These two portraits were found in a family album, once belonging to
Henry and Lydia JONES (nee BREACH), Owaka, South Otago.
The family group in the photos are identified as ‘The Payne Family’
They appear to be entertainers and there is no clue as to their relationship,
if any, with the JONES family.
Do you have any information on ‘The PAYNE Family’?

The names of the other men are unknown.
Can you help identify them?

Can you identify any pupils in this photograph?
It is possibly Kaitangata School and believes to have been taken in the
early 20th century.
