 Early Tauranga, Bay of Plenty |
Tauranga is the 5th most populous city in NZ, and the now the busiest port located on the Bay of Plenty. 1st. Tauranga Generation From Charles Hensley Mably :-
After the Land Wars with the Maoris (1845 - 1872, many settlers had abandoned the region around Tauranga,
but the flow of settlers migrating to NZ caused the population to increase rapidly on the North Island. As a
result, there was strong demand for teachers, who were recruited from England.
Tauranga area was represented by the Ohinemuri electorate (1891-1908). George and Mary Ellen settled in
in the area after emigrating from England. 1902-1905 they moved to Auckland, leaving Charles and his wife
Louisa Emily (nee De Silva). Charles died in 1910, Louisa stayed locally in the Tauranga/Bay of Plenty area.
