CENTURY AGO TODAY
MARRIAGE IN ENGLAND
HUTT VALLEY PIONEERS
A hundred years ago today the wedding took place at St. Mary de Loque, Anglican Church, Gloucester, England, of Mr. and. Mrs Henry Collett, who embarked immediately afterwards on the sailing ship London for New Zealand and became prominent among the pioneer settlers in the Hutt Valley.
They landed at Petone beach early in 1840, and lived in the Hutt Valley all the rest of their years. They had seven sons and three daughters, the sole surviving member of that family being Mr. Albert W. Collett, who now resides in Taumarunui.
Grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-greatgrandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Collett are resident in the Hutt Valley, Masterton, Dannevirke, Waipawa, Gisborne, and several other New Zealand towns.
Mr. and Mrs. Collett were two of the foundation members of St. James Anglican Church at Lower Hutt, and they and their family were noted for their hospitality, having always kept open home in those days for travellers. Everyone of Mr. and Mrs. Collett''s sons bore their share of the troubles in the early days of the Maori risings, and always took an active part and a keen interest in the promotion of any of the activities of those early days in this country which is so soon to celebrate its centenary as a British Dominion.
