Clipper "Shalimar"
Hello Everyone,
With a view to celebrating my maternal grandfather's paternal grandparents' arrival in Auckland from Ireland via Liverpool on 23rd December 1859, I'm trying to trace descendents of some of the other passengers (my ancestors were Dromgools - misspelt Drongool on the passenger list). I'm hoping to put together a series of memoirs (not complete family trees) to publish a non-fiction work in December 2019 (160 years). If any of you are descended from Shalimar passengers on that date and are interested in contributing or have any hints, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Carolyn
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
