There is no one still around who knew Charles or Taraipine personally. Therefore, we can only surmise as to what they may have been like, through the information that we have been lucky enough to find. Much of this information has been sourced through the marvel of the internet. Over the coming years, it is possible that more information will come to light, and more stories could yet be told.
Taraipine, gave us the gift of life, and a new home - Aotearoa.
This chapter is dedicated to Charles Priestley and his wife Taraipine Tatua. It was Charles who brought the family name and our common English blood to New Zealand.
