    George Robert Hart, eldest son of Michael Brannon Hart (early Mayor of Christchurch), had two sons and 8 daughters. I have a photo of the family group with his wife. He worked for the Press for 40 years, and the book of the Centennary of the Press shows a picture of him and a little about him. He has a long geneaology.

The 1900 Photos

In December 1900 photographs of surviving passengers of the First Four Ships were taken. Is your ancestor in one of the photos?
