 | Auchenloaning Cottage in Old Monkland Andrew Mitchell was born in Auchenloaning Cottage in 1821. Image of Auchenloaning Cottage supplied by David Crawford who wrote: “On doing some internet research, I noticed your 3 times great grandfather (Andrew Mitchell) was born at Auchenloaning Cottage, Old Monkland. By coincidence, my 2 times great grandfather (Thomas Crawford b1859, d1934) and Great Grandmother Jane Burley Crawford (b1883, d1926) also lived at one of the Auchenloaning Cottages. My father who is now 78 has a photo of one of the cottages (See attached file) - thought you might be interested. In the picture is my Great Grandmother (Helen Gilbert who married Daniel Crawford) in the black dress. I am not sure who the other two are.” | 24 October 2018 | |

 | Postcard showing Wallace Moffat Carr A postcard showing Wallace Moffat Carr and Silas John Davern. The image was submitted by Wendy Cassimaty who wrote: “I believe the photo postcard I have in my possession is of Wallace Moffatt Carr taken during the First World War. A little background is probably needed here. My Grandfather served in the Royal Australian Navy from 1912 through to 1919. He was attached to a number of different ships and travelled the world. He kept a shoebox full of picture postcards and photo postcards from his time in the navy and just recently my sister Margaret and I have started going through them to see if we can find any with names on them so we can possibly pass them on to family members. We have no idea how or why the photo was with my grandfathers possessions. All I really can say is that the writing on the reverse is not my grandfather's. I have attached the photo and scanned the reverse. As you can see the photo is of 2 gentlemen. The other gentleman appears to be a Silas John Davern and I think I may have found his grandson in the Northern Territory. | 24 October 2018 | |

 | George Moffat and Isabella Paterson Family Scanned from picture by Ewan Caldwell Left to Right: Isabella Moffat, Agness Moffat, George Moffat, Jane Moffat, Elizabeth Moffat, Isabella (Patterson) Moffat, John Moffat, George Moffat. Back of photo indicates it was taken in Dunse, Scotland by "D Davidson, Castle Street, Dunse The Dunse photographic Studio", and handwritten on back says "Moffat Family Scotland". At first it was believed that this was Robert Moffat and Abigail Stoddart and family from New Zealand in Scotland for a visit. But this seems unlikely given what a trip from New Zealand to Scotland and return would have entailed in the 1890s and Dad's belief that the family were never very well off, so couldn't have afforded such a journey, and information from Dad and Uncle Bob both that World War 1 was the first time Grandad had been out of New Zealand. It seems much more likely that it is Robert Moffat's cousin George Moffat and his family in Scotland. | 24 October 2018 | |

Agnes Moffat (513, 1819) and Margaret Moffat (514, born 1821) were born here to George Moffat (32) and Isabella Clark (33), so it is presumed that George and Isabella and their first son Alexander (born 1818 at Coppermine) lived here during this time.

 | Notice of death of Alexander Moffat In Memory of Alexander Moffat Who died on the 5th September, 1888, on board the S. S Tarawera at Russell, Auckland. The angel of death has come again And taken away one. Just in the very bloom of youth, A brother and much loved son. Far away from home, far away from friends. Out upon the lonely sea, Where the billows roar as in anger wild, Thou dids't call him, Oh Lord, to Thee. No mother was there with tender care, To solace or shed a tear; But a father was there to breathe a prayer, And the last fond words to hear. Yonder, now, in that home, once so full of mirth, Father and mother for a son doth mourn; Brothers and sisters grieve for a brother dear, But to them he shall ne'er return. Was he only a brother! Was he only a son! Was he only a friend so true! Ah! methinks I know a maiden who Mourns this day - lov'd dead - for you. Oh ! Father of Love, look down from above, Now comfort such sorrowing one; Say to them he's not lost - only gone on before! My will, not thine, must be done. Written by - M M Kaihiku, Sept 9, 1888 | 24 October 2018 | |

 | Medals awarded to Thomas Wells Harrison Lansberry Photo supplied by David Goble shows the medals that were awarded to Thomas Wells Harrison Lansberry following his service in West Africa during World War One. Dave also supplied a copy of the card detailing the awarding of these medals. They are from left to right 1914/1915 Star. The British War Medal, and the Victory medal.

 | British War Medal awarded to William Ernest Moffat British War Medal 1914-18 This silver medal was awarded to officers and men of the British and Imperial Forces who either entered a theatre of war or served overseas between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918 inclusive. The ribbon has a central band of orange edged with white, black and blue lines and although many other medal ribbons symbolise something, it seems that the colour and pattern of the British War Medal ribbon has no special significance. The recipient's service number, rank, name and unit were inscribed on the rim of the medal. The front depicts King George V with a latin inscription about the King. The back shows the dates of the First World War and St. George on horseback trampling underfoot the eagle shield of the central powers, with a skull and cross-bones. Approximately 6.4 million of these medals were issued, giving some indication of the scale of the First World War. http://www.iwm.org.uk/first-world-war-service-medals | 13 November 2018 | |
 | Allied Victory Medal awarded to William Ernest Moffat The Allied Victory Medal The Allies each issued their own bronze victory medal but with a similar design, equivalent wording and identical ribbon. The colours represent the combined colours of the Allied nations, with the rainbow additionally representing the calm after the storm. The ribbon consists of a double rainbow with red at the centre. The British version depicts the winged figure of Victory on the front of the medal and on the back, it says 'The Great War for Civilisation 1914-1919’. To qualify, an individual had to have entered a theatre of war (an area of active fighting), not just served overseas. Their service number, rank, name and unit were impressed on the rim. Approximately 5.7 million Victory Medals were issued. http://www.iwm.org.uk/first-world-war-service-medals | 13 November 2018 |

Includes mention of William Bringans who was mentioned as Band Master and Chairman of the current School Committee. | 13 November 2018 | |
| Article from the "Otago Witness" about the Alexandra District High School Celebrations This article is from the Otago Witness of 16 March 1926, describing the celebrations that took place over several days for the Jubilee Celebrations. This article is in addition to the main article featured elsewhere in the same newspaper. Both Bethia Breingans and William Bringans are mentioned (with the name spelled as Brignans). | 13 November 2018 | |

| Article from "The Clutha Leader" describing the Jubilee Concert held at the Oddfellows' Hall This from a single column of newspaper which is headed "AY 28, 1929".
