Tena koe LillianI came across this post while looking for my Uncle.It is very interesting indeed to come across your Dad. Does he by chance have whanau in the Waikato? I am of the Manihera, Te Uira, Tuteao whanau from Taharoa Waikato. Ngakete is also a Waikato-Taharoa name. Could it be that we are whanaunga? I would love to catch up.Naku iti nei, hurihia

I am the only daughter of Lillian and Jack Maunsell. My brother is Michael Maunsell who is now residing in Australia. There were two other boys Allan and Geddes. Sadly those two have both since passed away. My father's sister was Hilda Shelford who was married to George Shelford, and they lived next door to us on the farm in Poroti. I remember my Uncle Cazz used to live with us, he was my mother's brother. I also remember there was an Aunty Mama we used to call her who also lived in Poroti. My father is buried at the Manu RSA cemetery up there in Whangarei.
I have posted a pic on the following website of Uncle Jacks sister Alicia Maunsell. She was in the NZ airforce and died at the age of 20. She is buried up in Pakotai next to her mother Amiria Wahine Tapu.
