  • Notes 
    • BIOGRAPHY

      Charlotte Walker was born in Essendon, Victoria, Australia (now a suburb of Melbourne) in 1860. She migrated to New Zealand with her parents in 1861 and grew up in Milton, Otago. Charlotte married George Redpath in 1886. George and Charlotte farmed at Tuapeka West until 1893 when the family moved to Gisborne in the North Island. Charlotte had 5 children while living at Tuapeka West.

      The family initially lived at Matawhero near Gisborne. George worked on his farm at Rakauroa and had to build a house before the family could move there. In 1897 the house was completed and the family moved to Rakauroa (near the present township of Matawai). George and Charlotte's last daughter, Charlotte, was born in 1902 in Gisborne. Charlotte Redpath (nee Walker) lived at Rakauroa until 1921, when she moved to Gisborne with her daughter Charlotte, but died soon after on 11 August 1921 aged 61. She was buried at Rakauroa Cemetery with George.

      OBITUARY

      An old resident of the district, Mrs George Redpath, passed away at her residence, Whitaker Street, last night, at the age of 51 years. Mrs Redpath and her husband, who predeceased her by some years, were pioneers of the Rakauroa district, and the death of Mrs Redpath will be deeply regretted by many friends. She leaves a grown-up family of three sons and two daughters, and all were able to be present in town except Dr. Redpath, who has been out of the Dominion.
