Last Meeting
June Stratton - Guest Speaker 
Posted by David Gledhill
The New Zealand Company
Never has the truism that many of our best addresses have come from our own members been more applicable.  June gave us a fascinating account of Wellington's founding by the New Zealand Company and corrected many of the inacuracies still perpetuated in current history books. While in UK recently June and Gary undertook original research in museums, churches and cemeteries in London, Somerset and Edinburgh as well as their own family records.  From these sources June gave some illuminating details not only of Gary's family but also of the conditions in England in the 1830s.  Gary's family history goes back six generations from when one Thomas Stratton came out on a NZC emigrant ship landing in Wellington in 15 March, 1841.
