TANNAHILL William
William was engaged to work for 18 months by Clyde Trusty. William married soon after arrival in Wellington to a fellow passenger Elizabeth DUGALD on the 5th April 1840. William and Elizabeth had 11 children, 7 girls and 4 boys. A daughter Helen (sic) Burns was born 16th May 1841. The witness to the birth from the records is given as Alex Yule and spouse. They were on the same ship as William and Elizabeth. William and Elizabeth originally lived in Petoni but later they lived in Taita. William worked as a carpenter and as a pit sawyer and a shingle splitter. Their daughter Helen was married at age 17 in their house at Taita to James William FOX who was farming in Taita. William was on the first jury list in Wellington, in 1848, and he was also a member of the "Hutt Militia" in the 1840’s. He is listed in the Electoral Roll for Hutt in 1865. William died at Wainui-o-mata on the 20th June 1876 and is buried there but the gravesite is unknown. He died of a heart attack after a bout of bronchitis.

Evening Post 29 November 1937
It may not be generally known that the oldest Anglican church in the Wellington Diocese, is the picturesque little Christ Church at Taita, in the Huty Valley. Among the many parishioners and friends gathered at Taita Hall on Saturday afternoon for the bazaar and fancy dress parade arranged by the church members was a family of children, with their mother and grandmother, the last-mentioned being the daughter of Mrs. J. W. Fox, who was born at Taita in 1842, and remembers the building of this church.
The bazaar on Saturday was opened by Mrs. H. E. K. Fry, who thanked all for their attendance, making special reference to those of other denominations, whose friendly support, she said, she would be glad to reciprocate.
Speeches were also made by Mr. Gordon Giesen, and by Mr. A. S. Kempthorne (superintendent of Christ Church Sunday School), who remarked upon the gratifying attendance each Sunday, despite the scattered nature of the district.
The many, varied, and original costumes in the children''s fancy dress parade were judged by Mrs. Gordon Giesen, who presented prizes to Mildred Claughton (sailorman), Waldo Chamberlain (dragon), Margaret Page (knitting), Alan Page (golliwog), and to the little ones Margaret Hamilton (fairy) and lan Mac Arthur (sailor).
The stalls and stall holders were:— Fancy work, Mesdames Cording, Warder, and Burborough; produce, Mesdames Tustin and G. August, Miss August; ice cream and sweets, Mrs. Pudney; cakes, Mesdames Wright and Maycroft; darts, Len Burborough and T. Fuge; Aunt Sally, D. Maycroft and G. Cooper. Afternoon tea, arranged by Mesdames Balls, Rothnie, Gorrie, MacArthur, and Buck, was served on long tables decorated with brilliant yellow flowers, and was particularly enjoyed by the children.
The committee, who were congratulated on a most successful function, comprised Mesdames Buck, L. D. Balls, Austin, MacArthur, F. Gorrie, Maycroft, Wright, G. August, E. Fuge, and Miss Eileen August.
The Rev. H. E. K. Fry and the Rev. T. F. Fagg rendered great assistance.
