Our Fawcett Family lived in New Lynn from 1922 until around 2000 and all attended New Lynn Primary School. My father was also involved in Velocette and British motorcycles so I noted Pamela on the Harley in the school grounds. I feel sure that they would have been known to my parents. I will ask my mum when I next talk to her. She is still living in Auckland and is in her 90's. Also remember Lynette's Marching Girls - I think they may have practised in the grounds of the school but they were certainly part of the New Lynn Anzac marches that left from there when I was our family was involved in Girl Guides and marched each Anzac Day. Lovely memories. It was so nice to come across these photos as I'm doing some Ancestry research. So sorry to hear of your family's losses - it's so hard, especially during Covid. Grandparents are so special to children, their stories and time they make for them. My own children have had special connections with theirs and also spent time in New Lynn when my parents lived there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.Kiwigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108397286163171328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326867358384170422.post-63605793621844868462020-05-07T18:58:33.819+12:002020-05-07T18:58:33.819+12:00Hello there,
Did you know the family mentioned in ...Hello there,<br />Did you know the family mentioned in this article? Since ANZAC day was held in lock down this year, it was wonderful to look through old photos of my mothers that I have never seen before. My mother passed away coming up 6 years and so I am trying to paint a picture for my 6 year old who was only 8 months old when Grandpam died. Both my girls have lost the last of their grandparents during this lock down 4 so it has been a difficult time but sliver lining is I get to spend time with them and share stories. Was great to come across this.Nuttykiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946984859951905147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326867358384170422.post-16832710870994071762020-04-11T21:30:21.027+12:002020-04-11T21:30:21.027+12:00Great memories.
