George Sinclair was born about 1810 in SCT.1,2 He and Matire Matiaha were married.
Email contact from Lyle HUNT dec 2019 seeking info.
I have a ggggrandfather George Sinclair who had 3 daughters with the same names in ur post. I oral history states Matire Matiaha was his wife and the mother of Heni, Riripeti and Ruiha (Jane, Elizabeth and Lucy).
Both Matire and George were from outside of Northland. Matire was from Ngati Raukawa and George came from Scotland.
From the birth info of the children it appears Matire came into Northland with George but so far our whaau have not found and documentation including her name.
George left the girls at the Waimate North Mission house and carried on travelling further north. He owns land then sells it. Again, no metion of the mother of his child. I am going yo start searching via the mission house.
The 3 sisters married into families from the north, and some of the first early european settlers.
Heni and Ruiha are buried in the same whanau cemetery. They married cousins. While Riripeti is buried in another cemetery.
We have found a George Sinclair who is buried in Russell cemetery which is managed by Far North Distric council. So far we haven't been able to verify if he is our tupuna.
If you can suggest any sites or physical places we might find info please let me know.ANNA
