Reference NumberPhoto 13-250DescriptionA photograph of Rachel Hamilton's House in 1900. Rachel was born in Anglinacloy, County Tyrone, Ireland, in about 1836. On 10 March 1860 she married John Hamilton in Lisburn, County Antrim. John worked for Captain Mervyn Stewart and his wife Frances (née Vesey) on their Irish estate which was named Martray. The Hamilton's arrived in Katikati as part of George Vesey Stewart's 'Ulster Plantation'. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT EMILY SURTEES' PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTION. Emily Surtees (nee Stewart) made a visit to Katikati around 1899-1900 and photographed many of the early settlers living there as well as the local points of interest. She took her plates with her back to England in around 1900. On her way home Emily passed through the tropics and unfortunately, due to the humidity, some of the plates sustained damage. These images courtesy of Elizabeth Smith and Ellen McCormack in 2012.
