    • BIOGRAPHY

      Sarah Spurdle was born 1854 in New Plymouth, the eldest daughter of Oliver Spurdle and Maria Litherland. In 1873 Sarah married Joseph Wallace at Springvale, Wanganui. Joseph was the son of John Alexander McKane Wallace, a farmer at Wanganui, and Esther Maise.

      Joseph and Sarah had a large family of sixteen children, three died in infancy. Morris died at 2 months, Maria at 7 weeks and Emily aged 3 months. Leonard was accidentally drowned in the Wanganui River aged 15 and Agnes died aged 19. Joseph farmed in Wanganui and became well known in the district. Many of the large family of children attended Matarawa School. Sarah died in 1921 and Joseph in 1948, both in Wanganui. Joseph and Sarah were buried in Aramoho Cemetery, Wanganui.

      Source: Janette Howe and Robyn Spurdle published Spurdle Heritage for the 1992 Spurdle family reunion. Much of the above information, by Carrol Crandall, is extracted from that publication. The book contains considerably more detail. Copies of the book are held at many New Zealand libraries.
