I have just been looking at your family tree on Rootsweb site.
I am not sure if I have the right family I have a Lucy Parkes who married James Robinson I know she came from Motueka. I am unsure of her parents. She married in 1874.
I am thinking her parents are Benjamin Parkes and Elizabeth Hadley. I am wondering if you could tell me if I am correct in thinking this?
