Residents 1884

Residents of Kilbirnie - Hataitai - Evans Bay around 1884

These names are taken primarily from the records of Kilbirnie School (opened January 1884) and the 1884 electoral roll for Wellington South, with additional details from other sources. Mostly people just gave their address as "Kilbirnie". Since the whole area between Mt Victoria and Lyall Bay was then known as Kilbirnie some of these families would have been from today's Kilbirnie, rather than what we know as Hataitai.
