August, George Hornby
S FOR CHCH WEB SITE 2012
GEORGE HORNBY AUGUST arrived in 1855 on The Marchioness from Melbourne as a Shepherd, aged 24, accompanied by his wife LUCY MARY, aged 27. He registered as an elector in the Hutt District in 1865, and died at age 53 at Ngahauranga (sic) "after a long and painful illness" on 28 December 1881. He was buried from the Johnsonville Church. His wife lived to be 87 and died at Alicetown on 22 September 1913 (presumably at the home of her son in law C. HOBBS who lived in Victoria Street Alicetown), and was buried at "The English Churchyard Johnsonville". She was described by the Evening Post of 24 December that year as an old resident of Petone, going there three years after her husband''s death, and as leaving a family of 8 children, 51 grandchildren, 33 great grand children and 1 great great grandchild.
The August Farm at Taita was operated successfully for Town Supply to Petone by sons of the marriage Robert and George who also ran the successful trotting stallion BLACKCHILD on the property. They built up a dairy herd of at least 80 cows and Robert served for a time on the Taita School Board.
Their descendants were an adventuresome lot, as the children of immigrants are inclined to be. One riding a bike came into collision with a car in the Taita Gorge in the 40s and the car went over the bank while young Avery finished up in hospital.
But Robert survived to tell the tale, and the family farm prospered, as did their string of horses. He later came before the magistrate for watering down the milk, but didn''t try to dodge the charge and was let off with a warning.
