  BIOGRAPHY Mary Ann Spurdle was born 1856 in New Plymouth, the second daughter of Oliver Spurdle and Maria Litherland. In 1879 Mary married Charles Astley in Wanganui. Charles and Mary lived in Whangarei 1886-1888 (based on school admission records), then moved to Australia where their younger children were born, and later returned to New Zealand. When Charles died aged 51 in Rotorua in 1908 he was a boarding house keeper. Charles and Mary had at least eight children, of whom six survived into adulthood. Mary died in 1928. Charles and Mary were both buried in Rotorua Cemetery. 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.
