Dawn, you say he was born in Geraldine, there was a Maslin family (Caleb and Charlotte and children) arriving at the port of Lyttleton in 1858. This would be the arrival point for people going to Geraldine, it is where some of my lot arrived and they all lived in the Geraldine area. There are not many Maori in that part of the country, he may be Maori but he could just as easily be olive skinned European. My grandfather was described as Dark complexion on his WW1 documents and there was no Maori in him. Christine in NZ |

Christine, Thank you for that, have been given a couple of addresses for Maslins in the area and all I have to do now is pluck up the courage to write, just don't want to upset anyone. Dawn |

Christine The ones I have are for Timaru. What I know of Henry he was a plumber in Hawera before he joined up and he died in the public hospital; there so presume he went back there. Knowing my luck after all this it wont be him but what the heck wont know unless I try will I . His sister lived in Hawera with the surname Brown? If you find anymore is worth a try. Thanks Dawn |

Dawn, I have a couple more addresses which I will message direct to you. None still in Hawera, but some not far away, and for a small place there are a heap of Browns! Christine in NZ |
