John and Hannah Mosley, and family

1912

At about 1885 John & Hannah Mosley left County Durham to make a new life in NZ with their two boys, William and Lancelot. They had a very rough 5 month[week?] journey. Most of it the women & children spent below deck. John as a cabinet maker had work in Wellington but decided to go with friends he'd made on the journey. Hannah gave birth to twins (one died) on arrival in Greymouth. She was a very "strong" lady & made sure her large family were well educated and learnt a trade.
