SHEEP RETURNS for the EAST COAST DISTRICT…

from Lottin Point to Te Kapu [present-day Frasertown)

 

As reported in Poverty Bay Standard and People’s Advocate 28 June 1876

 

Transcribed by Stephen Donald from microfilm copy held in H.B. Williams Memorial Library, Gisborne

 

Please note:

  1. names appear in original order as reported
  2. use your browser’s find function to locate particular surnames and places
  3. I have transcribed the sheep returns for those properties from Cape Runaway to the Turanganui River at Kaiti for 1879-1920 from the Appendices to the Journals of the House of Representatives (AJHR) and am willing to do lookups.
