Matilda D’Orly Bayfeild (number 40) was my great-great grandmother. She, her husband Arthur Bayfeild and their first baby, also named Arthur) were on the Randolph. Arthur set up the first apothecary shop in Lyttelton. They had 6 more children before Athur died, aged just 40. Matilda kept the business running for a number of years, including through two bankruptcies (according to family oral history) She died in 1909, aged 92.
