In a letter written probably about 1886 to William R.P. Whittington, Arthur Whittington wrote that George Wriford had deserted his wife in South Africa and gone to Australia.
On October 28, 1888 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Arthur Whittington's wife Ada wrote that the only cousins her children had met were "George Wriford's little sons, George and Alfred, whom we met in East London."
On October 30, 1888 in a letter to his brother William R.P. Whittington, Arthur Whittington wrote, "The only ones of my own family I have played before [acting on stage] was at East London when we were honoured by a visit from a niece-in-law and two grand-nephews (George Wriford's wife and children). The latter went fast asleep before the show was half over, which to the least of it was most rude to their Great-Uncle who was doing his level best to amuse and keep them awake."
In her November 17, 1929 letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote about what she remembered as a small child. "George, a handsome boy, I think died in Africa."
Marriage Notes for George Albert Whittington Wriford and ?
MARRIAGE: In a letter written about 1886 to William R.P. Whittington, brother Arthur Whittington [then living in South Africa] wrote, "I often see George Wriford's wife. I have no doubt Minnie has told you that he has deserted her and gone to Australia leaving her with three youngsters (one since dead). She, poor woman, is awfully hard up. She is living with her sister and takes in dress-making."
In a November 17, 1929 letter to Addie WHITTINGTON, Beatrice Whittington wrote about what she remembered as a small child. "George, a handsome boy, I think died in Africa."
Children from this marriage were:
George WRIFORD.
Alfred WRIFORD.
Unknown WRIFORD died before 1890
274. Adolphius St. John Whittington Wriford
born in Jan 1858 and
died before 1942
Another name for Adolphius was Dolly.On January 29, 1874 her brother Arthur wrote Dolly's half-brother Jack informing him of Dick Whittington's death in South Africa. A note at the top of the letter says, "copy of letter Ma received this morning, Tuesday, March 10th." This copy was signed "Dolly," and he copied not only Arthur's letter but also the newspaper clippings.
On June 29, 1900 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, Arthur Whittington wrote, "I had a letter from Carrie. She seems to be well and happy. She is living with Dolly at Sevenoaks."
On February 23, 1904 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, his brother Arthur wrote, "I hear from Dolly very often. He keeps me posted in all the family news."
On September 16, 1904 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, Arthur wrote complaining that Bill had not answered his previous two letters. "Dolly is the only one who keep me posted up in the family news."
About July, 1906 in a letter to William, Ellen and Addie Whittington, Arthur wrote, "I was expecting Dolly Wriford and Ada (my step-daughter) to pay me a visit. Dolly wrote saying he would like to come out and do a little big game shooting. I saw Khama and made things right for him. Ada also wrote saying she would like to come. So I told her she had better come with Dolly. But now they have put off their trip until next year."
On September 9, 1909 in a letter to Bill Whittington, Arthur wrote that Dolly had seen Arthur's stepdaughter Ada's flat in London and reported on its being beautifully decorated and that she had used her own color scheme in the Drawing Room. "Dolly Wriford tells me that he has never seen any room more artistic."
On September 25, 1923 in a letter to Willie and Ellen, Carrie Sainsbury wrote, "I had a letter from Dolly Wriford a little time ago asking for your address. I sent it to him. He has left the Law Courts. He was 34 years there. He lives in London. He has one daughter, but she went into [illegible], and he does not live with his wife. I am sorry for him."
On February 6, 1924 in a letter to his Uncle Willie, Dolly wrote from 2 Blyn Mansion, Kensington, WIA, "I retired from the Law Courts on August 21 at 64, after 44 1/4 years Government Service.... I took a trip last year to the West Indies, Bahamas, Trinidad, Central America, Costa Rica, Panama Canal, and then a fortnight in Jamaica and home.... I am a bit gouty, but bar occasional visits from the enemy, I am well, and my amusement is golf, of which I play a good deal of that." This is the closest I have to a location for the man
On May 18, 1924 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote that she tried to see Dolly while she was in London to attend Ernest Richardson's wedding, "but he had an engagement that day that could not be put off and was afterwards leaving town; ordered away for his health, I think."
On February 2, 1927 in a letter to his Uncle Willie, Jack Glubb wrote from Farthing Green, Stoke Poges, Bucks, "I saw Dolly a while ago. He came down here. He is a great character and immensely popular and most amusing."
On April 11, 1929 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington who had died March 9th, Beatrice Whittington wrote to thank him for a beautiful magazine. She had forwarded it to Dolly, "who was pleased, as he was then laid up with phlebitis. Later I had a card saying he was better, or well, But I don't know whether he has sent on the magazine yet to Jack."
On April 26, 1929 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, Dolly wrote expressing sympathy for Ellen's death. "I can feel how much you must be suffering yourself, and my heart goes out to you." He then wrote, "I now call myself an old man, 71 in January with a daughter of 38, but I can get about better than I did last year when I suffered from neuritis so much. If you get English papers, you will know what a glorious summer we have had. I can remember nothing like it. I went down to Cornwall for a month in August and September, as I have done in September for the last 25 years, but never had the continuous weather."
On April 30, 1929 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Dolly wrote, "Beatrice has forwarded me your letter with the sad news of the death of my dear Uncle Willie, a truly great man. It is over 60 years ago that he took me over his ship the "Lord Warden" in the London Docks, and I had the best time in my life killing cockroaches. I was only sorry he would not let me take them home to show my mother." Dolly would have been 10 years old at the time.
In her November 17, 1929 letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Dolly is still alive, and I have seen something of him since" growing up.
On November 19, 1935 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Natalie, Dollie's daughter is very happy at the Convent of Mercy, Brecon Road."
On February 15, 1942 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice wrote that she hoped Dolly had left his sister Addie some money after his death.
Noted events in his life were:
He worked as a Govt. Service in Law Courts.

Natalie Wriford was born in 1891.
On February 6, 1924 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, her father Dolly wrote, "My daughter Natalie is a Sister and very happy at it up at Kelham, so I often see her. She is now 32 and been at the job over 10 years."
On April 26, 1929 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, her father wrote, "I now call myself an old man, 71 in January with a daughter of 38."
On November 19, 1935 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Natalie, Dollie's daughter is very happy at the Convent of Mercy, Brecon Road, Welbourne on Trent, Bristol. Her Bishop allowed her to go there as Woodchefton (?) was so damp. The house built on seven wells! and Natalie had begun to have arthritis."
On November 19, 1941 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "That naughty Natalie (Dolly's daughter) has not returned your letter, so I have not got it by me to answer. Natalie, "Sister Mary Campior," is at a branch of her Convent of Mercy, at Clevedon, where she has been convalescing after an operation on her nose. I got Miss Cox, my landlady's daughter, to call and enquire the other day, and Miss Cox quite enjoyed herself, and found Natalie very entertaining and civil. I wish she would write to her Hawaiian cousins, but she always seems so very busy."
On February 15, 1942 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Natalie (Sister Mary Campior) who had had an operation and was convalescing (I may have told you) at Clevedon, is now back again at the Convent of Mercy, Westbury-on Tergun. My landlady, Miss Cox, and a married sister have both been to see her and been much attracted. They found her very entertaining."
She was a Nun.
275. Adelaide Mary Whittington Wriford
DEATH: Name: Adelaide M W Lloyd Death Registration Month/Year: Jan-Mar 1941 Age at death (estimated): 80 Registration district: Battle Inferred County: Sussex Volume: 2b Page: 126
Addie or Adelaide Floyd or Lloyd
She was born in 1859. I have no idea of her husband's name.
On February 6, 1924 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, her brother Dolly (Adolphius) Wriford wrote, "Addie is living at home and is now comfortable, as her boy Jack is a comparatively Rich Man out at India and makes her a substantial allowance."
On May 18, 1924 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote that Jack Glubb had told her Addie "was making her home in Africa with her daughter Mary, or near her."
On February 2, 1927 in a letter to his Uncle Willie, Jack Glubb wrote, "Addie (sister) [half-sister] is just going back to South Africa. Her boy Jack has up till now made her a good allowance. He has had a large income from brokering in Calcutta, but now through illness has lost most of it, and his other (mother?) will be much reduced in income, too."
On April 26, 1929 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, her brother Dolly wrote, "Addy, who is two years younger, is living with her son Jack Lloyd..."
On April 30, 1929 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Dolly wrote, "My sister Adelaide is alive and 70."
On November 19, 1941 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote from Bath, "Addie Floyd, I know, was my senior. I wish I knew that she is all right, with enough to live on, but I feel pretty sure that Jack Glubb would have left her something. I think she is sure to have joined her children in S.Africa after his death. I don't know the children, nor does Natalie."
On February 15, 1942 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "I think Addie Floyd was a year older. I wish I knew how she is getting on. Natalie used to be in touch with her, but I think her last letter was returned. Addie probably went out to S. Africa to join her children after Dolly's death. I hope he left her money."
In a letter dated October 17, 1942 addressed to Addie Whittington, she wrote, "Once on leave from Canada we stayed with Grannie at Brixton [Adelaide Sarah Skrine Whittington' residence in 1867.].... Aunt Minnie was there, and Uncle John, and their boys and Addie. Grannie gave her and us three girls grey woolen dresses flecked with black and trimmed with tabs of black velvet with white buttons. I must have been about 7 [making the date of this stay about 1867]."

Whittington wrote from Codham Hall, St. Warley, Brentwood, "Tippy has been staying with me with her husband.... They want me to go out. I don't feel up to it, but I suppose I must soon go to see Richarson's new vicarage, as I have not been there yet."
On about January 1, 1909 she wrote William R.P. Whittington that they were living in St. Donat's Vicarage, Llantivih Major, Glum, Wales, that she had spent Christmas with her father, and that she had an eight-year old daughter. She wrote that she hoped when Herminie came over that she would stay with them and not spend all her time in Scotland.
On July 19, 1915 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, her father George wrote, "The Richardsons are coming to stay with me this day week for about a fortnight."

On May 27, 1919 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, Adelaide's daughter Kitty wrote from Monmouthshire: "It is frightfully hot, but my mother alone survives in a knitted jersey and actually manages to shiver. She still longs to be with you in Hawaii." She also wrote, "My mother's name is Adelaide, too, but she is usually known as Tippy." The family was planning to move to a new Rectory two miles away. "Mother is thinking of having a farewell village dance on our lawn, and it does seem a lovely idea."
On December 4, 1919 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, Beatrice wrote, "Tippy was ill, in late spring of this year, and I went to Shirenewton, and made myself useful there for some weeks, returning to Oxford in May, and leaving her much better. They are now in another Rectory, Itton [sp?], a mile nearer to Chepstow. It is all very perfect and well arranged, a sweet little place, and the house, so well arranged, a great improvement on the large rambling Rectory at Shirenewton. They have two cows, a calf and three pigs. He has got five pupils, and I think they will be very glad when the holidays come."
On September 25, 1921 (about) in a letter to Willie, Carrie Sainsbury wrote that Beatrice "is the only one left."

547. Adelaide Katherine Whittington Richardson
Kitty Richardson was born about 1900.
Another name for Katherine is Kitty.On September 24, 1907 in a letter to Willie Whittington, her grandfather George J.C. Whittington wrote from Codham Hall, St. Warley, Brentwood, "Kitty, my youngest grandchild (a second Kitty Richardson only in name), is rather a wonderful child, but a handful. The only one, besides myself, she obeys is her mother, and that in a small measure. She told her father, when he mildly corrected her, 'I suppose you think you are my mother.' She is pretty and very sharp, but quite spoilt."
On December 2, 1917 in a letter to Uncle Willie, her Aunt Beatrice wrote, "Kitty was thinking of becoming a Girl Guide. She is very musical, playing both piano and organ."
On May 27, 1919 Kitty wrote to her great uncle William R.P. Whittington from Chepstow, Monmouthshire. "I was delighted with the snaps. I had no idea I actually owned a little cousin named Dick Whittington and feel as if I had been suddenly presented with a stupendous gift!" She described the move the family would soon be making to a new Rectory two miles away, and then said about herself, "I am going in solely for music and at present am working for an exam, only I don't get much practice time, and the boys [four of her father's pupils living at the house] have brought a gramophone, which seems to be rather a formidable rival."
On May 18, 1924 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote that at Kitty's father's marriage to his second wife, "Kitty Richardson, of course, looking very pretty. She has been very nice about it."
In a letter to Addie dated Easter Day, 1926, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "I have been here all winter, but suppose I shall be visiting Kitty and her father at Peppard later on."
On April 11, 1929 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington who had died March 9th, Beatrice Whittington wrote that Kitty's father had finally taken a much needed holiday, but that "Kitty is staying behind for the present with a girl-friend working up her Choir for a competiton in the Diocese."
On November 17, 1929 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote: "Kitty, who is her father's organist near Henley-on-Thames, was very proud when her diocese won the oak and silver shield in a diocesan competition at Oxford. More recently she has been acting for the Women's Institute, also at Oxford. Ruth gave a very favorable report. Kitty looked pretty and spoke well without selfconsciousness."
On November 30, 1930 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote about Kitty's father's car accident and then losing his arm in another accident. "Well, he made a wonderful recovery, and they have all been very plucky about it, Blanche, the second wife, and Kitty, who thought she was running the Parish."
On May 14, 1939 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote from Bath that Ernest Richardson's wife, Blanche, "had got on with Kitty." After Blanche died, Ernest got sick and had to resign his position at the Rectory of Peppard. "He and Kitty took that pretty cheerfully and arranged to live at Hereford, a most interesting neighbourhood." However, he got worse and "finally ended up at a nursing home in Reading, and Kitty was left to arrange for the sale and storage of furniture," and then he died. "Kitty is now paying some visits and doesn't yet know her plans. She will always have her music and could write, but I hope she will have a little and not be dependent on that."
On November 19, 1941 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "It is long since I saw either Ruth or Kitty. Letters also are rare. Who wants to write letters in these days? But they and their goodmen are, I hope, [illegible] well in their Kensington and Yorkshire Vicarages, well and busy. And I am thankful that Kitty has come comfortably to anchor after all her troubles. But I miss her father, Ernest Richardson."
On October 17, 1942 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice wrote: "Kitty, my other niece, writing from Yorkshire, says they have been offered and have accepted another living in the North Riding and move in next month. For my [sic] remember that she married Mathers Dean, an old friend of her Father's, who had proposed and been refused then! I wish, if they moved, it had been southwards."
On September 30, 1943 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Ruth and Kitty in their several parishes always seem very busy and happy. But one does not travel about much in these days."
Katherine married Mathers DEAN.
born in 1864 and
died about 1923 about age 59.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Whittington Maud Elizabeth Islington 1b 270
On September 24, 1907 in a letter to Willie Whittington, her father George J.C. Whittington wrote from Codham Hall, St. Warley, Brentwood, "Toppy went to Maud's for a change.... Maud has not been very well. She does too much and will not take care of herself."On April 5, 1910 in a letter to Willie Whittington, he father wrote that, per Willie's request, she and her sister Beatrice were trying to find the will of Sir M.M. Lopes to see if the family was entitled to anything.
On February 17, 1915 at Codham Hall, Great Warley, Essex, in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Maud's son Clifford who was at the front has been sent to Nice, to a convalescent Home with a 'French cough.' Maud and Ruth went over to see him, in much alarm. An expensive and tiring journey. They left him better and in good hands, but he is a bad corresondent, and it is an anxious time for them."
On July 19, 1915 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, George Whittington wrote from Codham Hall that his grandson Clifford had died on a battlefield on June 27th. "Poor Maud has borne up most wonderfully well."
On October 3, 1915 in a letter to his brother Willie, George Whittington wrote, "We [meaning he and daughter Beatrice] haven't seen Maud yet. She has been laid up twice since poor Clifford's death."
About August, 1917 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, her sister Beatrice wrote that after their father's death, she spent some time visiting sister Tippy in Wales and Uncle Charlie and his wife. "I am now with Maud and Ernest Green. I have taken one of their lodges (there are two) and am busy furnishing it."
On December 2, 1917 in a letter to Uncle Willie, her sister Beatrice wrote, "Maud has been working hard, sending off Christmas parcels to the different fronts. Her daughter Ruth is at home, and makes a very good understudy to her Mother."
On December 4, 1919 in a letter to Uncle Willie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Maud and Ernest, and Ruth motored down there [to visit Tippy at their new Rectory at Itton] about two months ago, a surprise visit, putting up at the Beaufort Arms for the night."
On September 25, 1921 (about) in a letter to Willie, Carrie Sainsbury wrote that Beatrice was feeling Maud's death very much. "She is the only one left."

The cause of his death was Shot.On February 17, 1915 at Codham Hall, Great Warley, Essex, in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Maud's son Clifford who was at the front has been sent to Nice, to a convalescent Home with a 'French cough.' Maud and Ruth went over to see him, in much alarm. An expensive and tiring journey. They left him better and in good hands, but he is a bad corresondent, and it is an anxious time for them."
On July 19, 1915 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, his brother George wrote from Codham Hall, Great Warley, Essex, "My grandson was wounded on the 26th June and died on the 27th. The same shot killed his colonel and a young subaltern. He was considered an excellent officer, beloved by officers and men. He died a glorious death, fighting for King and country. Poor Maud has borne up most wonderfully well. I give you a little instance how much he cared for his men. This little story was was told by a wounded soldier in Oxford. He said that Clifford was going round to see that all his men were right, when he saw one of his men posted as sentry in a dangerous and lonely spot. He stayed with him on the parapet for an hour to keep him company.
He was buried out there, but his body will be moved after the war to England."

On February 17, 1915 at Codham Hall, Great Warley, Essex, in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Maud's son Clifford who was at the front has been sent to Nice, to a convalescent Home with a 'French cough.' Maud and Ruth went over to see him, in much alarm. An expensive and tiring journey. They left him better and in good hands, but he is a bad corresondent, and it is an anxious time for them." He died on June 27th.
About August, 1917 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington, her Aunt Beatrice wrote, "Maud's daughter Ruth is engaged to a big soldier boy, Gordon Nicholson, artillery and anti-aircraft. He has been here on a visit, invalided, but has now gone to light duty at Shoburyness."
On December 2, 1917 in a letter to Uncle Willie, her Aunt Beatrice wrote, "Maud has been working hard, sending off Christmas parcels to the different fronts. Her daughter Ruth is at home, and makes a very good understudy to her Mother."
On May 18, 1924 in a letter to Uncle Willie, her Aunt Beatrice wrote that she had spent Christmas at Bagworth Manor, where Ernest Richardson and Blanche Lewis were visiting for the weekend. "Ruth and her husband Tom Liddiard were also there. The latter has now been preferred to the Living of Radly, and as it is in the same neighbourhood as her home, that will be very nice for her." Ernest Green, Ruth and Tom Liddiard all attended Ernest Richardson's wedding to Blanche on April 23, 1924 in London.
On April 29, 1927 in a letter to Uncle Willie, her Aunt Beatrice wrote, "Ruth leads a very busy life and still occasionally does Mission work outside the Parish (of Radley).
On November 24, 1928 in a ltter to Uncle Willie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Ruth is comforably settled at Bagworth now with her Father, which is very nice for her and him, and her husband has his new work in the diocese."
On April 11, 1929 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington who had died March 9th, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Ruth, as you know, is now at Bagworth but is able to take flights on Bishop's Messenger work again, not having parochial duties, and Tom, her husband, does mission work in the Diocese, which just suits his restless disposition."
On November 17, 1929 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote about Ernest Green's visit to Bath and his being taken care of by Ruth. Ruth and her husband Tom Liddiard "gave up the Vicarage of Rudly for diocesan work and they all now three live now at Bagworth, which is very nice for Ernest, and Ruth too likes being in her old home with her mother's things about her. She has undertaken work at Cowley where a large population has sprung up round the motor works. She is a Bishop's messenger, though for a time after her marriage, this work rather lapsed."
On November 30, 1930 in a letter to Addie Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote that Ruth's father was getting healthier, thereby relieving her of some of her daughterly duties. "Ruth is able to get about for speaking engagements at Mothers' Union Meetings, etc. Tom gets about the Diocese as Assistant Diocesan Missionary, unpaid. They have just been off together to Boscome, Bowmemonth, for a little rest and [looks like nociely], and Ruth feels every confidence in leaving home."
On November 19, 1935 in a letter to Adelaide Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "I heard from Ernest Green this morning. Ruth is deep, still, in the Oxford Group Movement, & always very busy with music & speaking engagements."
On May 14, 1939 in a letter to Adelaide Whittington, Beatrice Whittington in Bath wrote that Ruth no longer lives with Ernest Green. "Her husband has the little new living of Kennington near Oxford."
On November 19, 1941 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "It is long since I saw either Ruth or Kitty. Letters also are rare. Who wants to write letters in these days? But they and their goodmen are, I hope, [illegible] well in their Kensington and Yorkshire Vicarages, well and busy."
In a letter to Addie dated Easter Day, 1926, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "I have been here all winter, but suppose I shall be visiting ... Ernest Green, when I shall also see Ruth, now installed at Radley Vicarage."
In a letter dated October 17, 1942 addressed to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote from 11 Belmont, Bath, that to avoid the blitz she had stayed with Ruth and her husband Tom at "their dear little Vicarage of Kensington, near Oxford." She had stayed with them for at least a couple of months, but she returned to Bath in June, because "she waited on me hand and foot, and at my age I have no wish to be a burden on the younger generation."
On September 30, 1943 in a letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "Ruth and Kitty in their several parishes always seem very busy and happy. But one does not travel about much in these days."
On January 3, 1944 Ruth wrote Addie that her Aunt Beatrice "died at Bath after a short illness on November 30, 1943. Thank you for your letters to her, which came after her death. She was a wonderful old lady, most independent and brave."

283. Adelaide Mary Francis Sainsbury
Adelaide Mary Francis SAINSBURY was born about 1 Dec 1861 in Coventry, Warwickshire, England died on 3 Jan 1958 in Upper Montclair, NJ about age 96, and was buried in Not St. James.
Adelaide married Robert Frederick BANKS (d. Abt 1917).
[Based on Research notes, findings 11 September, 2008 the above birtn date is changed from 1861 to 1860] ADPAnother name for Adelaide was Addy.
Margaret McGregor wrote, "From what you say Adelaide Mary Francis must be the second child i.e. born 1861." At the time of the 1881 census Adelaide Mary Francis was "20 years old, born Coventry, Warwicks."
On November 14, 1921 [the year is a guesstimate based on the contents of this letter and others] in a letter to Addie Whittington, Carrie Sainsbury wrote that she last remembered seeing Addie when she was about 3. "Addy thinks you must have been about three. I have an Adelaide. She was at your Father and Mother's wedding. She must have been about 6. She is now 60, and I have one daughter Emmy 57, and son Robert 54, and son Richard 50." If 1921 is the correct year of this letter, then the age of her daughter Addy at the time of Willie's and Ellen's wedding is 3 years off and should be about 9. Meanwhile in December of maybe 1955 she wrote that she was 93 years old. And in December, 1957 she wrote that her birthday was December 1st.
On August 24, 1924 Carrie Sainsbury wrote Willie, "Guy, Addy's eldest boy, is having a house built.... Rent in the town in fearful. The boys will be able to come in by car, and it will not cost them no more than it does now, and he will have a new home for his Mother."
On December 24, 1925 in a letter to Willie and Ellen, Addie Banks added a postscript to her mother's letter, "It only seems a few years ago I was your bridesmaid, and now I have 3 sons, the eldest 31 and the Baby 24." In every letter in which ages are mentioned, Guy always seems to be 31 or nearly 31.
On February 20, 1926 in a letter to Willie and Ellen, Addie wrote rom 3712 Brookside Road, Forest Hill, Richmond, Virginia, "I have 3 fine boys, and I really believe some of the best in the world." She went on to describe them, and then said, "So you will see they are well fixed, although they are none of them rich. Guy built this place about 18 months ago. We have 8 rooms heated, electric lights and all modern conveniences. The garden slopes down to a brook, which tonight is a rushing torrent owing to a bad storm of rain and sleet we had all day yesterday. I have every inch of ground planted with bulbs and flowers of every kind, so I am hoping for a good showing this year. Last week I noticed all the tulips were showing. I have been afraid to look at them today after the sleet, but Ihope they are not damaged as some of them are quite valuable."
On August 7, 1927 she wrote to Willie and Ellen to tell them her mother was very sick. She also wrote, "I can so well remember your wedding, and now I have a son 31 years old."
On August 26, 1927 she wrote to Ellen to tell her and Willie that her mother had died August 16th. "I surely do miss her. She was my constant companion for the last 25 years. Everyone has been so kind. We have hosts of friends."
On December 11, 1928 she wrote Uncle Willie, "I have just heard through Beatrice Whittington of your great loss and want you to know how much I sympathize with you. I hope you are in good health and will be able to enjoy your new life with the girls. My boys live with me and they are a great comfort. Neither of them married, although they all have special girls."
In her November 17, 1929 letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "I wrote the other day to Aunt Carrie's daughter, Addie. I used to keep Aunt Carrie and Uncle Willie in touch, but I suppose it would be difficult for you and her to keep up."In November, 1942, she transferred from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, along with Guy F. Banks and Helen Stryker Banks, her son and daughter-in-law, to the Church of St. James in Upper Montclair, NJ. Their new address was 304 North Mountain Avenue, Upper Montclair, NJ.
On December 15, about 1954, she wrote Addie Whittington from 304 N. Mountain Ave., Upper Montclair, New Jersey, on a Christmas card with a picture of St. James Church of Upper Montclair, "I was so glad to hear from you again, and many thanks for the beautiful hand-painted card. Someday when you have time, I should so like to know how all of you (my cousins) are.... I am sending this picture of our church and your second cousin sings in a quite unually good boy choir. His name is Robert Frederick, after my husband."
On July 19, 1955 she wrote Addie Whittington wrote that the day after Addie's letter arrived "Mrs. Judd, our rector's wife, came to call and was much delighted to ead yours, and the 'phone number pleased her so much, so I really think you may hear from her!!... I hope our mutual friend (Mrs. Judd) will be able to have a chat with you." She also wrote that her granddaughter was planning a trip to Europe with 14 girls.
In December, about 1955 she wrote Addie Whittington that she had "spent the summer in Virginia with my youngest son and wife and am now back in J. Jersey with the oldest one. This is more lively as their daughter Margaret lives at home, as she works for a Doctor nearby. They have a son, but he is now at college in Virginia, so we only see him in holidays. We certainly miss him, as for the last 4 years he went to school in Montclair. I have just celebrated my 93 birthday and am doing pretty well, but eyesight is not so good, and I am getting deaf, but what can I expect!!"
Between Christmas and New Years, 1956 she wrote Addie Whittington that she had had a nice birthday on the first, "but by this shaky writing begin to think age is creeping up on me!!.... I've had a nice Xmas. I was able to get to church Xmas Eve at midnight! and our little church was filled!!. My one and only grandson is home for a few days from college. He grows every time I see him and is now 6 ft.-2, and as I am only 5 ft., I have to look up. I see Mrs. Judd every Sunday and she tells me to send her regards. I think she enjoyed her trip very much."
On November 8, about 1957 she wrote Addie Whittington, "My arm is healing and I can use it, but it gets tired and looks very red at times, but the Dr. says it is getting along very well!! I am very thankful no bones were broken.... After Xmas I may go to visit my youngest boy and wife in Richmond.... I played the organ at our church at Forest Hill. I am getting deaf so can hear very little of the service but try to go each Sunday."
She wrote that her grandchildren were nice and good to her and that they all hoped to get together for Christmas. "I am trying to make some Xmas gifts, too. Fine crochet has been my specialty!! but my eyesight is not as good as it was. I was showing to a friend today a table cloth I made for Helen (Guy's wife) 6 ft. long and 4 wide in 100 thread!! I like to mend. Everyone thinks I am silly!"
According to records at the Church of St. James, Upper Montclair, NJ, she died on January 3, 1958. "It appears the service was not at St. James, as it is not recorded in our burial book."

On December 12, 1924 his grandmother Carrie Sainsbury wrote her brother Willie and his wife Ellen that she had just moved into a new house her grandson Guy had built so that she and his mother, Carrie's daughter, would be comfortable. Carrie wrote "he has the 2 other boys living with us."
On December 24, 1925 in a letter to Willie and Ellen, his grandmother Carrie wrote that their new house was very pretty. "The boys all work in it as much as they can, but they have not much time for they work in town all day. They are good boys and take care of the mother and Granny." Addie Banks added a postscript to her mother's letter, "Now I have 3 sons, the eldest 31 and the Baby 24." In every letter in which ages are mentioned, Guy always seems to be 31 or nearly 31.
On February 20, 1926 in a letter to her Uncle Willie and Aunt Ellen, Addie Banks wrote, "Guy, the eldest (nearly 31), is in business for himself, the grain and corn meal business. About 2 months ago his boss, and president of the firm, died, and Guy was elected President. If this proceeds to be a good year, it will encourage him to do better next. He has to work hard and has very long hours.... Guy built this house about 18 months ago. We have 8 rooms heated, electric lights and all modern conveniences."

According to the records of the Church of St. James, Upper Montclair, New Jersey, he died December 7, 1966. "He was 70 years old. His residence at that time was 192 Bellevue Avenue (I believe that that is an apartment building)."

290. Hermine Ellen Whittington
born on 23 Sep 1874 in Dixon, Solano County, California,
died on 7 Feb 1959 in Maunalani Hospital, Honolulu, Hawaii at age 84, and was
buried in Ashes Scattered At Sea, Honolulu, Hawaii.
The cause of her death was Alzheimer's Disease.
Another name for Hermine was Minnie.Her name might also have been spelled "Herminie."
According to a newspaper clipping from an English newspaper headed "No. 28,235:" "On the 23d Sept., 1874, at Dixon, Solano, California, the wife of W.R.P. Whittington -- a daughter."In an email from Valleri Kelley, a volunteer with the Solano County Archives: "Have a birth Register that lists the following: Whittington, Girl, born: 23 Sep 1874 to a B.P. [sic] Whittington, and Ellen A.Whittington."
According to Addie's "Family's Arrival in Ookala," Hermine (Minnie) arrived in Honolulu accompanied by Granny and her sister Adelaide (Addie) on board the "D. C. Murray," a sailing vessel, in 1881. They spent a few days at Mrs. Thrum's boarding house, then boarded the "Likelike" for the trip to Laupahoehoe on the Big Island. They were met there by William R. P. who had arrived there in late 1879 or early 1880. They traveled from Laupahoehoe to Ookala on horse and donkey along a dangerous trail. Hermine's mother Ellen Amelia and her two sisters, Hellen Emlie (Nellie) and Joyce, had arrived earlier, in 1880.
While in Ookala, the children played with Johnnie and Willie Soper, whose parents lived about a mile away.
In 1886 the family was back in California raising cattle. On July 18, 1886 Minnie Glubb wrote her brother Willie and Ellen, "What a dear jolly little maid your Minnie must be. I think her letter wonderful, and tell her with my love that I will answer it very soon, and I hope she will write to me again very soon."
Marjorie Greig Abel, in a conversation probably in 1976-7, told us that Hermanie [my spelling at that time] trained as a kindergarten teacher in San Francisco and came to Kauai and taught at Waimea or Kekaha.
[Her parents had immigrated about January, 1900.] Gregor met her when he was working as a bookkeeper for Gay's. They moved to Makaweli, and Aunt Addie moved in with them shortly after Meggy was born (2 years).She does not appear in either the 1900 Hawaii Census Soundex or the 1900 California Census Soundex.
According to daughter Meggy's Birthday Book, she and Gregor were married August 14, 1901 in Kekaha, Kauai.
According to their Marriage Certificate, Hermine Whittington and Gregor T. Greig were married August 15, 1901 in Kekaha, Kauai, Hawaii. Hermine was 26 years old, a maid [meaning never married], and resided in Kekaha. The name of her father was W.R. Whittington. Her mother was Ellen. Her race was American.
In a letter written about January 1, 1909 to Herminie's father, Adelaide Richardson wrote, "I hope when Herminie does come she will come and stay with us. She mustn't spend all her time in Scotland."
In the 1910 census her name was spelled "Hermany.". Her age was listed as 33, the same as her husband's, and this is not quite accurate. At the time of the census, she would have been 35. She and Gregor stated that they had been married 9 years. She and Gregor lived at Camp 1 in Makaweli very near her brother Bob and his new wife Mathilda.
On May 30, 1911 she gave birth to son David Rodger Greig in Makaweli, Kauai. On his birth certificate she is listed as "Anglo Saxon," 36 years old, born in "Salino Co., Cal.," and a housewife. David was her fourth child, all of whom were living.
On September 12, 1912 she became the godmother of her brother Richard H. Whittington's daughter Ellen Herminie. On the handwritten note that is the source of this information, Hermine Greig is spelled "Herminie." Her co-godmother was Helen Hansen (Nellie).
On February 17, 1915 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "I am so glad Minnie has recovered. I feel a faithless thing in not continuing to write to her. But it is so difficult! And she must feel it too, with her increased ties. I can sympathize with Robert, as I am also a sufferer from bronchial asthma."
In a letter to Linda Greig Powers received December 25,1996, Deborah Greig wrote that Gregor had been the "business manager at Makaweli" and that his wife Hermine was not happy living on Kauai, one of the reasons being that the roof leaked over her piano.
The family moved to Palo Alto, California, where Bob went to school and "Meggy went to some girls' school."
On February 12, 1917, Hermine's mother's cousin Ellen A. Lee wrote and asked, "What part of California have your daughters gone to? They must find it very gay after Hawaii."
Deborah Greig wrote, "Every Thursday was visiting day, and the ladies would go to tea with calling cards."
Maggie Whittington Carmichael recalled at least one happy summer with her favorite Aunt Minnie and her family in Manoa. She said that Aunt Minnie was wonderful. She also recalled that Shrimp (David) and Skinny (Robert) had spent at least one summer with her family at Honuapo.
Neither Herminie, Gregor, nor any of the children appear in the 1920 Hawaii Census Soundex.
On January 25, 1921 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Annie Pont wrote, "I thought the Greigs had already gone to San Francisco. You must be glad to have them near you for a little longer. You will miss them when they go."
On October 24, 1928 in a letter to Addie, her father wrote that they had ordered curtains for 12 windows. "Minnie gave the blinds."
On January 20, 1929 in a letter to Addie, her father wrote that he was going to dinner at Minnie's tonight.
He also said that he had arranged to buy something [possibly some sort of plumbing] that Addie was to pay for. "Minnie says pay how you can."On February 16, 1929 in a letter to Addie, her father wrote, "Nellie and Minnie will look up the Humane Society and ask them to save you [a dog]."
When Hermine and Gregor moved to Honolulu from Kauai, according to Dorothy Beardmore Greig, they lived on Poki Street. Later they moved to 2376 Oahu Avenue. In 1943 they moved to a house at 4302 Kahala Avenue. In 1953 they later moved to an apartment on Pau Street in Waikiki downstairs from their daughter Meggy. (According to Dorothy Greig, it was when they made this move that Addie moved to the King's Daughters Home.)
Dorothy Beardmore Greig recalled that their house on Oahu Avenue was large yet sparsely furnished.
She explained that there was some kind of competition going on between the Greigs and the Hansens, Hermine's sister's family. Because of this competition, the Greigs were in a bigger house than they could really afford; hence the lack of furniture.After Hermine's son David married Dorothy Beardmore Greig in 1941, they were expected to attend Christmas dinner at the Greig's house every Sunday night. When World War II broke out, gas was rationed. This meant that David and Dorothy had to use a considerable portion of their small allotment of gas to make these weekly visits, which meant Dorothy was not able to visit her family in Waialua. During one of those weekly visits, Hermine reported that since she was not able to consume all of her ration of gas, she gave her ration coupons to the fellow at the gas station.
In a phone conversation on 26 Sept 1999, Dorothy Greig explained that Herminie had liked to sew and had often made little dresses for Lorna and Margie. Dorothy said that Herminie was a firm believer in her single-needle, bobbin-less, chainstitch machine (now called a serger) and did not like Dorothy's Singer.
On November 19, 1941 in a letter to her cousin Addie, Beatrice Whittington acknowledged receiving a photograph of the family and wrote, "I am puzzled by that photograph. Herminie is surely of the younger generation, not the one you used to call Minnie, and to whom I used to write after Uncle Willie had sent us a group in which she, probably then about 16, looked very much like me!"
Granddaughter Jean Kemble Taylor said that they often visited her grandparents in Kahala, and that it was a simple matter to take the bus from Lunalilo Home Road in what is now Hawaii Kai. She said that the children were attracted to Aunt Addie, and that she was a lot of fun. She remembered Herminie as "a cold woman." She recalled that Herminie's reasoning was that she had raised four children, and that the family would tease her about it, saying that it was she and five servants who had raised the children.
In a letter to Linda Powers received January 7, 1997, Maggie Whittington Carmichael wrote, "My father felt as though he was the black sheep of the family since he married a part Hawaiian. The only aunty that was good to us was your grandmother, Aunt Minnie."
On March 1, 1945 her brother Richard Whittington wrote to Addie saying, "I hope this finds you and Min up and running around."
In her letter to Addie dated December 10, 1945, Aimée Pont wrote that she was sorry to hear that Herminie's health was not good.
Jean Kemble Taylor said that Herminie had always had Japanese servants. At the Manoa house there were as many as five; at the Kahala house one who worked full time. It was only after they moved to Pau Street that they were on their own.
Dorothy Beardmore Greig remembered that Herminie was deaf by 1953. It was also in that year, when Gregor and Herminie moved to Pau Street, that they sent David and Dorothy a large grandfather clock via Hawaiian Airlines COD to Hilo. Dorothy said this came as quite a surprise, as no one notified them ahead of time, and it was quite expensive. (They later sold the clock when they moved from Iiwi Street to Hunakai Street.)
At some point after 1956 daughter Meggy took her mother to the Volcano House, according to Dorothy Greig's retelling of a story often told to her by Meggy. During the stay, Meggy went off during the day to explore and left her mother in the room at the hotel. In those days the rooms were very drab. When Meggy returned she found her mother sitting in the room staring out the window at the crater. When Meggy asked what she was doing, she replied that she was debating whether to jump into it or not. This is the same kind of behavior her son David later displayed when Alzheimer's struck him, except that he would make his hand into a gun and point it at his forehead. She knew she was losing her mind, didn't understand the cause, and was completely helpless. Her daughter Meggy of course didn't understand either, and instead of comforting her, lectured her on what such an act would do to the family.
Hermine spent the last few years of her life at Maunalani Hospital. She died of Alzheimer's Disease in Honolulu on February 7, 1959, and her ashes were scattered at sea.
Her will was Probate No. 20818. Her account number with Bishop Trust was 20-0051-0. Bishop Trust was her personal representative, and "the First and Final Account" of her estate was sent to David Greig on November 26, 1980 (yes, that's right) for approval before being filed with Probate Court. At the time of her death, Herminie had an estate of about $95,000, about $10,000 from the proceeds of life insurance policies on Gregor, but most from CDs and Treasury Bills. The beneficiaries of her estate, with what appear to be equal shares, were Marjorie Abel, Edith Kemble, Robert Greig, and David Greig. Why these assets were left in trust for 21 years is mind-boggling. That they were invested so conservatively during the 60's when the country experienced tremendous growth, or the 70's throughout a period of extremely high inflation is even more shocking. The assets were worth a lot less in 1980 than they were in 1959.
Gregor immigrated to the U.S. through Ellis Island in September 1897. Previously he had traveled to Trinidad, but this time he made his way across country and settled in Hawaii. Gregor worked as a bookkeeper, first at Makaweli Plantation on Kauai and later at Bishop Bank in Honolulu.

553. Marjorie Isabella Whittington Greig
Marjorie Isabella Whittington GREIG was born on 5 Mar 1903 in Kakapua House, Makaweli, Kauai and died on 14 Dec 1995 in Hale Ho Aloha Nursing Home, Honolulu, Hawaii at age 92.
The cause of her death was Cardiac arrest brought about by advanced end-stage dementia. Another name for Marjorie was Meg Or Meggie.She was born in Makaweli, Kauai on 5 March 1903. Her social security number was 576-34-3027.
She was married, but she and her husband divorced after about 7 years some time before 1940.
According to Juliet Tong, a long-time associate, her husband was a teacher at the University of Hawaii. His mother lived with them, and they did nothing without her accompanying them. Meggy told Juliet she couldn't even have her hair done without her mother-in-law's going along.
Long ago Meg told Juliet that her mother would not allow the Greig children to play with the local children at Makaweli. (I remember her telling us this, too.) Juliet remembered that Meg then made the made the comment: "Look at them now, way up there, and all the haole kids, way down here, and I'm still in the middle."
Meggy loved her father, but she didn't like her mother. It was difficult getting her to talk about her mother. Apparently, Meggy was a victim of favoritism with her sister Edith's being her mother's favorite. Meggy would illustrate this by telling a story of how Edith once stole a doll of hers and got away with it.
Juliet remembered that Meg had had light brown hair with "beautiful reddish highlights."
Meggy attended Punahou from 1917 until she graduated in 1920 at the age of 17. However, she does not appear in the 1920 Hawaii census.
Meg had wanted to become a librarian while she was attending the University of Hawaii; however, she was encouraged to enroll in the brand-new Home Economics program. As a result she was the first nutritionist to graduate from the UH. She then went on to obtain her masters degree in nutrition.
On January 20, 1929 in a letter to Addie, William R.P. Whittington wrote, "Gregor and Robert have bought a very good looking 2nd hand Chevrolet for $300.00. 1926. Gregor gave David his half. Robert, his girl, Minnie and Marjorie have been here in it. It looks almost new."
She began working for the Dept. of Health of the Territory of Hawaii on June 7, 1940 as their first and only nutritionist. Her primary duty was education. When war broke out, her job was to teach people how to conserve food and how to properly use foods grown in Victory Gardens. This meant a lot of travel throughout the islands.
In 1945, Nutrition became a separate branch of the Health Department. Meg, still the only staff member, was named as Chief and was given a budget by the legislature. From here, she built the Nutrition Branch at the Health Department from the ground up. She made it the Bureau of Nutrition in 1951. She was Branch Chief up until she retired in the 1973.
Claire Hughes, current Branch Chief of Nutrition, remembers that Meg did not particularly want to retire.
According to State Law she was supposed to retire on her 70th birthday, March 5, 1973. But Meg insisted on finishing out the month, so she worked the entire month of March.
Claire stated that everyone remembers her as a "positive dynamo of action." Meggy fostered a team approach to managing employees long before it became fashionable to do so. She nurtured and mentored her people, and "they loved and adored her." Juliet said that "it was an honor to work for her." For Claire, Meg saw to it that she obtained a stipend to pursue her masters degree. Juliet remembers one piece of advice: "There are many way of doing things. Just keep trying different things until you get what you want." And Meggy said and firmly believed: "There's always enough credit to go around."
Before the advent of TV, she had a radio cooking show on KGU. For a couple of years in the 1950's she had a TV program on KGMB. Besides providing tasty recipes, the show's focus was on good nutrition and proper food handling. She also wrote a weekly newspaper column in the Star Bulletin from 1966 to 1973 and wrote all the nutrition publications for the Dept. of Health.
Claire and Juliet gave different stories on how her TV career got started. Claire stated that Meg had asked for a raise, and when she didn't get it, took a leave of absence and promptly got the TV job. Juliet remembers that Meggy was offered more money to do the TV show than her current job was paying and thus took 2 years off to do the show. Juliet was there at the time, so her story is probably more accurate.
Claire Hughes described how Meggy was extremely generous with her time and money. She would visit schools and PTA's in her off hours.She learned enough about the foods of the many cultures here to be able to talk nutrition to people within their own cultural context. She was a committed lobbyist for her cause both in Hawaii and in Washington. She paid for books and materials out of her own pocket.
At the same time, she was extremely frugal with her branch's budget.
And she was feisty. She had to be to convince governors and legislatures to give her what she needed. But Juliet also remembered another instance. "At one time, somebody pitched a $200 machine for mixing powdered milk. Meggy wrote in an article that a fork was just as good. Well, the company threatened to sue, and they made her life difficult for a while, but later they dropped it."
At various times, Meggy was President of the Dietitic Association, Chairman of the Governor's Committee on Nutrition, Outstanding Employee of the Health Department (1969), President of the Waikiki Business and Professional Women's Association, a Fellow of the American Public Health Association, and honored as a member of the Royal Society of Health in England.
In an article Claire Hughes wrote for the Hawaii Dietetic Association Newsletter and sent to Linda Powers May 24, 1996, she outlined the following highlights of Meggy's career:
. 1946 Developed market orders and costs for therapeutic diets for the department of Public Welfare, establishing criteria for dietary support
. 1946-47 Appointed by the Governor and chaired a committee to set nutritional standards for institutions
. 1947 Recommended hiring the first "qualified" Registered Dietitians for the State Hospital and other government institutions
. 1947-48 Elected 8th President of the Hawai'i Dietetic Association
. 1953 Presented "Teaching Nutrition in the Melting Pot of the Pacific" at the American Dietetic Association Convention and published in JADA in February 1954
. 1958 Co-chaired with Mary Murai the first HDA and DOH, Institute on Nutrition, a 3-day conference with 243 dietitians and teachers in attendance
. 1967 Appointed Assistant Clinical Professor at the School of Public Health, University of Hawai'i
. 1967-73 Provided summer training for students of the East-West Center.
. 1968 Served as a member of the Food Stamp Advisory Committee
. 1969 Elected Treasurer for the League of Nursing
. 1969 Invited by the President of the United States to participate in the "White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health" as one of three health professionals from Hawai'i
. 1969 Given the "Sustained Superior Performance Award" by the Department of Health for "Exceptional Service to the Public"In her spare time she like to sew, knit and crochet. Juliet says that she learned to sew because she couldn't get things to fit.
Meggy donated a lot of time to the Honolulu Community Theater at Fort Ruger, including her vacations from the Health Department. She was head of the costume department. In those days the HCT always operated on a lean budget, and costumes were continuously recycled to fit new actors and new roles. Remaking them was a major undertaking, because they had to be extremely well-made to tolerate the abuse of stage life. Juliet said with a giggle that Meggy sometimes got their whole branch involved. When things got tight, time-wise, Meggy would sometimes bring in costumes for them to hem during their lunch hours.
Both Claire and Juliet recall that she often talked of her brother David and his children to her friends and associates at the Health Department. Yet, when she visited David's and Dorothy's house, she rarely spoke of her work, and she often spoke of her nephews, Gregor and Peter. I did not know anything of her career accomplishments. Growing up, I saw a woman who came to the house and sagged. Now I know that she must have been just plain tired.
Meggy also had a thing about submariners, which she said was her primary reason for voting for Jimmy Carter for President in 1976. During World War II, Meggy said she made friends with many of them, and that her apartment in Waikiki became a kind of a home away from home for them. Nephew-in-law Tom Powers teased her about these "platonic" relationships. Meggy would just smile with a wicked twinkle in her eye.
At some point Meg took a trip to visit the Greig's plantation in Trinidad. "She said strangers asked her if she was a Greig. Apparently it was enough of a dynasty for people to recognize the family resemblance."
Meggy told Juliet that her French grandmother taught her to cook. Meggy was famous, at least among her family and friends, for her mango chutney. She would spend days up to her elbows in mangoes preparing countless jars of it to give away.
She took charge of carving the Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys and did so for many years. She often cut herself doing so, and I took over the job after she got one too many cuts on one bird. It was also getting hard to hide these goings on from the other relatives.
Meggy suffered a fall in her aparment on the corner of Piikoi and Kinau St. about 1980. She was moved into the Laniolu Retirement Home in Waikiki and lived there until it closed in about 1993. She was then moved to Hale Ho Aloha.
She was not the same after her fall. She suffered from chronic dizziness, and her personality changed.
Where before she really enjoyed a good argument, afterward she became very mellow. The feistiness was gone.
On March 17, 1996 a little before sunset, Meg's ashes were scattered off Diamond Head. On the Golden Eagle were sister-in-law Dorothy Greig; niece Lorna Greig; niece Linda Greig Powers with her husband Tom and daughter Samantha; nephew Jim Greig with his wife Rhodette and son Joshua; Claire Hughes, current chief of the Nutrition Branch and the State Health Department; Juliet Tong, a fellow co-worker; and Jim Armstrong who knew her through their volunteer work at the Honolulu Community Theater. Jim Greig scattered her ashes, and we threw flowers. It was a very nice send-off.
Noted events in her life were:
• She worked as a Chief Nutritionist for Territory and State of Hawaii.
• She was educated at Punahou 1920; Univ. of Hawaii.
Marjorie married Francis ABEL. The marriage ended in divorce Bef 1940.
Edith Herminie Greig was born on 20 Jun 1906 in Hawaii died on 19 Jun 1981 in Honolulu, Hawaii at age 74, and was buried in Ashes Interred At Diamond Head Cemetary.
According to the Social Security Death Index, she was born on 20 June 1906. Her Social Security Number was 571-07-2817, and it was issued in California.
According to the Punahou Alumni Office, Edith attended Punahou from 1917 until she graduated in 1924. However, she does not appear in the 1920 Hawaii census.
According to her sister-in-law Dorothy Greig, Edith first worked as a school teacher. When she married Ringer they initially lived at her parents' house and later moved to a farm on Lunalilo Home Road. When Hawaii Kai was developed, they moved to Waimanalo.
Daughter Jean wrote: "We spent most of the summer of 1945 with Robert [Richard?] and Kalei. My memories of them are scarce (I was only 5), but I remember it as a great summer."
In 1949 they moved to the mainland and then moved back. Because she had left the territory and because the school system frowns on anyone's leaving, Edith could not return to her teaching job with the Dept. of Education.
Dorothy Greig recounted the following story: One day she received a phone call from Edith. Edith asked her if it would be okay to cook and eat some dead chickens. Dorothy asked how they died. Edith replied, "Arsenic." Dorothy told her, "NO!!!"
When asked about her parents marriage and divorce, Jean Kemble Taylor replied that her parents waited until the children were grown, but that "there had been a lot of tension in the house for a long time."
According to Dorothy Greig, when Ringer divorced Edith, he insisted that they use his attorney. Despite advice from Dorothy and David Greig to the contrary, Edith went along with it. As a result, she got little or nothing. Edith's rationale was that if she was nice to Ringer, he might come back. She ended up living in a small rental apartment on Ena Road in Waikiki and worked as a librarian at the University of Hawaii Library.
She had breast cancer at some point and had at least one mastectomy.
Edith had many chances to take custody of her only granddaughter Rhoda when she was young, but except for one brief stay of about 3 months when Rhoda was about 15 or 16, she did not.
According to the Social Security Death Index, she died in June 1981, and her last residence was at zip code 96815 (Honolulu, Honolulu County, Hawaii).
Noted events in her life were:
• She worked as a Teacher; housewife; librarian.
• She was educated at Punahou 1924.
Robert was born on 31 Aug 1905 in San Francisco, CA and died on 23 Sep 1997 in Hospice, Kailua, Oahu, HI at age 92. The cause of his death was Lung cancer.
Another name for Robert was Ringer.Ringer Kemble Obituary, The Honolulu Advertiser, Honolulu, Hawaii, 22 Oct 1997, p. B-2, clipping

Another name for Robert was Skinny.The Social Security Death Benefits Index gives his date of birth as August 21, 1908.
Debbie Greig formerly Deborah Howard is wife of son Peter Augustus Greig
Debbie Greig wrote that Robert Greig was born on August 20 or 21st, 1908, but as he "was born at midnight the family was never sure if it was the 20th or the 21st of August."
His Social Security Number was 575-03-9008 and was issued in Hawaii.
On February 17, 1915 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, her niece Beatrice, in a paragraph talking mainly about her lack of writing to Minnie, wrote, "I can sympathize with Robert, as I am also a sufferer of bronchial asthma."
Debbie Greig wrote, "Bob suffered from asthma as a child. There were no medications then."
Maggie Whittington Carmichael recalled that Skinny and Shrimp (brother David) spent a summer with her family at Honuapo when they were all children.
Debbie Greig wrote, "Unsure how long Bob lived on Kauai. Moved to Oahu and went to Punahou High School.... When Bob was 5 or 6 years old he was sent to a military school on Oahu because his parents couldn't do anything with him."
According to the Punahou Alumni Office, he attended Punahou from 1918 until he graduated in 1928.
His siblings were enrolled in Punahou a year earlier, in 1917.
Debbie Greig wrote, "Bob was good in track. He also ran the mile. He wanted to be on the football team but ended up being the water boy instead. He was a sloppy dresser and didn't do too well in school."
Neither he nor his family appears in the 1920 Hawaii census.
On January 20, 1929 in a letter to Addie, William R.P. Whittington wrote, "Gregor and Robert have bought a very good looking 2nd hand Chevrolet for $300.00. 1926. Gregor gave David his half. Robert, his girl, Minnie and Marjorie have been here in it. It looks almost new."
Debbie Greig wrote, "About 1929 Bob graduated from the University of Hawaii with a Bachelor's Degree in Business. He worked in downtown Honolulu for more than one company near the Kamehameha statue. Peter recalls that he had to make collections. Bob loved to party. He had a girlfriend named Mary Ann Nobel. The Greig family really wanted Bob to marry her."
Robert (Skinny) was pretty handsome when he was young, and according to Dorothy Greig, he thought "the world was wrapped around him." David (Davey) Silva was his best friend, and his sister Meg thought Skinny could do no wrong. Dorothy recalled David Greig's stories of Skinny's exploits: Skinny had an old jalopy, and sometimes he would drive through the streets of Manoa throwing rocks at people's tin roofs. One of the roofs he pelted more than once was that of cousin Dorothy Beardmore's family on Beckwith Street. When he drove home late at night, he would pass by neighbors' houses and yell out, "GOOD NIGHT, so-and-so!" as he drove past their homes. He sometimes placed things on the tracks that would stop the streetcars.
Debbie Greig wrote, " Bob and a friend named Al Giles belonged to the SSS Club near Wymea [Waimea] across the street from some friends. It was a good place to surf. He never told Grace [his wife] what 'SSS' stood for."
Debbie Greig wrote that in 1941 Bob was delivering supplies to a leper colony. "During this time Bob was in a car accident with Davie Silva. There was a lot of drinking. Grace thinks they ran into a wall. (Bob didn't talk about this much.) He ruptured his spleen in this accident. Peter remembers the scar on his stomach."
Dorothy Greig remembered that when World War II broke out, he tried to enlist but couldn't because he had high blood pressure. Instead he joined the Canadian Army and spent the war in Montreal.
Debbie Greig wrote, "When the war broke out on December 7th [1941] at Pearl Harbor, Bob was awakened by the noise of the bombing. He watched the whole event.... Bob always wanted to go to war.
The United States armed services wouldn't take him because he had high blood pressure. He went to Canada to enlist.... Bob got a job on a freighter and came to San Francisco. Then he went up to British Columbia to enlist. Aunt Adele [Greig] knew a Colonel in the Canadian Army who helped Bob get enlisted. We worked his way up to Corporal. He instructed people in guns. He spent most of the war in Three Rivers." During this time he married Grace in Nenah, Wisconsin. "When Bob was transferred to Nova Scotia, Grace went up there to get pregnant."
Debbie wrote, "Bob left the Army after serving 2 years. He and Grace and Gregor lived in an apartment in Nenah. Bob got a job in one of the paper companies. When the second son Peter was born, they took an airplane to San Francisco and then took the Lurline (the first boat out after the war) to Hawaii. They stayed with Bob's mother on Oahu (Kahala) while Bob was looking for work. He got a job on Kauai."
Debbie wrote, "While Bob worked down in Lihue, Grace and the two boys lived in the cabin in Kokee with Meggie and one of her girl friends. Grace remembers washing diapers by hand in the stream by the cabin. She became very worried when Peter got diarrhea. They moved to a house in Lihue and stayed in the same house until they moved back to the mainland in 1956."
Debbie wrote, " While Grace was unhappy living on Kauai, Bob liked to go up to Kokee and hack at the bushes. He used to fish for barracuda. He liked to go swimming. He loved to read. He loved to party, especially with his friend Giles."
Dorothy Greig related that after the war he and Grace moved back to Kauai where he worked for either Grove Farm or Lihue Plantation. They lived next door to Dorothy Greig's friends, Dick and Gloria Davis, and Dick Davis worked for Grove Farm. In 1956 they left Kauai, stayed with David and Dorothy Greig on Maui for a month, and then moved to the mainland.
Debbie wrote, "They traveled to California, Oregon and Washington, lived in San Francisco and finally settled in Oakland, California. Bob worked for insurance companies. He owned a gas station in Mountain View for a couple of years before going bankrupt. He and Grace then moved back to Oakland.
Bob was a courier for Morgan Stanley, a stock brockerage firm, until he died from an obstruction in his bowels."
Debbie wrote that Bob smoked cigars most of his life, but Grace wouldn't let him smoke in the house after the boys were born.
Noted events in his life were:

Marriage Notes for Robert Gregor Greig and Grace A.
MARRIAGE: Robert married Grace A. about 1942 in Nenah, Wisconsin.
Children from this marriage were:
Gregor Robert GREIG was born in 1944 in Nenah, Wisconsin.
Gregor married Mary Lou JACOBS (Gregor Robert Greig, 191 Circle Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94595).Peter Augustus GREIG was born in 1945 in Nenah, Wisconsin.
Peter married Debbie HOWARD (Peter Augustus & Debbie Greig, P.O. Box 505, Willits, CA 95490).
born 30 May 1911 in Waimea, Kauai, Hawaii died 9 Nov 1989 in Maluhia Hospital, Honolulu, Hawaii at age 78, and was buried 13 Nov 1989 in Church Of The Holy Nativity Columbarium, Honolulu.
The cause of his death was Alzheimer's Disease.
Another name for David was Shrimp.
David was born at 11:00 am on May 10, 1911 in Makaweli, Kauai.
His middle name "Rodger" was misspelled as "Roger" on his daughter Linda's marriage certificate of December 22, 1973.In 1916, when David was 5, the family spent the summer in California. One of the places they visited was The Geysers in Sonoma County. On July 11, Edith wrote a letter to her Aunt Addie on their stationery. On August 12, Meggy wrote Addie, also using The Geyser's stationery.
When the family returned to Hawaii, David was left behind to stay with an aunt, probably his Aunt Dorrie. It's probably impossible to determine if it was in fact her, but it couldn't have been Addie as she was working as postmistress on Kauai until 1917. In a letter to David's grandmother Ellen Whittington, Ellen Lee, a cousin from England wrote: "How unfortunate that Minnie's boy has bronchial asthma, as young as he is. I suppose you are enveloped in fogs and tremendous gales which are bad for him. I hope the change to California is doing him good."
Dorothy Greig confirmed that David had suffered from bronchial asthma as a child and said that he had outgrown it. She said that he never knew this was the reason he was left behind in California.
Dorothy Greig also reported that during the year he was there, he attended Castilleja School, a Catholic girls school in Palo Alto. It was during this time that whoever took care of him switched him from being left-handed to right-handed. Thus began his problem with stuttering.
David used to joke about how he must have flunked sandbox, because he repeated kindergarten.
According to the Punahou Alumni Office, David attended Punahou from 1917 until he graduated in 1930.
However, he does not appear in the 1920 Hawaii census.Over the years he tried many things to stop stuttering. In the early 1960's he saw a psychiatrist, and that idiot gave him a dose of LSD, the powerful hallucinogen that later helped to spawn the hippie era of the late 1960's. That was the end of that.
He spent a lively childhood in Manoa Valley. At one point he recounted a story of how he and his friends once threw overrip mangoes at passing buses. The mangoes would hit the people inside the open windows and splatter everywhere. He and his friend Bull Haines would also grease the tracks of the street cars.
During prohibition, he and his brother and sisters brewed okolehau (a fermented concoction from pineapple) in their basement and delivered it around town in a wagon. The beach boys and firemen would come over for the parties. He told stories of brewing root beer and having the bottles explode.
His family seemed to thrive on loud and noisy dinnertable discussions.
During his school years it was common at the time for children to acquire strange nicknames: his was Shrimp.
While at Punahou, he ran track as a miler. He also gained the singular distinction of blowing up the chemistry lab with some friends. Apparently they were roasting hot dogs or something over a bunsen burner, and things got out of hand.
On January 20, 1929 in a letter to Addie, William R.P. Whittington wrote, "Gregor and Robert have bought a very good looking 2nd hand Chevrolet for $300.00. 1926. Gregor gave David his half. Robert, his girl, Minnie and Marjorie have been here in it. It looks almost new."
He attended the University of Hawaii with the intention of getting an engineering degree, but he did not finish. However, David completed a Civil Engineer Refresher Course in 1962 at the University of Hawaii.
After he was all grown up, he and his brother and sisters like to hang out in the bar at Lau Yee Chai's in Waikiki.
At some point he and his two sisters, Meggy and Edith, bought a piece of beachfront property on Mokapu on the island of Oahu. It did not have a house; it had a bench and maybe a lean-to. When World War II started, the U.S. government condemned it and made it a part of Kaneohe Marine Base.
During World War II, he and Dorothy spent most of their time on Maui, Molokai and Hawaii as he worked building roads and airports.
In 1945, the family settled in Hilo, where he worked for Jimmy Glover at Glover Construction. During this time he bid the job for building the highway from Waipio Valley to Hilo. According the Peggy Jaegar, an old family friend in Hilo, this was an incredible feat.
During this same period, David bought a double lot on Waianuenue Avenue and they built a house.
Soon David built a huge workshop on the adjoining lot.On March 1, 1945, Richard Whittington wrote his sister Addie from Naalehu on the Big Island that he hadn't seen David [Greig?] yet, but that he expected to one of these days.
David and Dorothy bought a beach house at Ho'okena on the Big Island. (It is now a state park.) They, the children and friends used to spend many fun weekends there. The house was primitive; the bathroom was a halelili (house of lilies), a 2-holer painted pink.In the late 1940's David bought a piece of land in Puna from an old Hawaiian lady. Before closing the sale, she explained to David that he must never, ever sell the land to a pake (Chinese) because Madame Pele did not like Chinese. Over the years, David forgot. When it came time to sell, a Chinese family bought it. During the next eruption lava flowed right through the property and completely within its boundaries.
An article in the Hilo Tribune-Herald on August 23, 1956 stated that the family had lived in Hilo for 9 years. "They have lived in Honolulu (home), on Molokai, Maui, and in Honomu and Honokaa besides.
The family will be moving to Maui the last of August to make their home where Mr. Greig will be superintendent of the heavy construction department of Kahului Development Co. While in Hilo, he has been construction superintendent for James W. Glover Ltd."
In 1956 the family moved to Puunene, Maui, where David worked on the Honoapiilani Highway for Glover. (?)
In 1957 the family moved to 49 Akilolo Street in Honolulu.
For a year beginning in 1958, he worked on Guam. He spent a few months working in Nome, Alaska a few years later. According to daughter Lorna this was relatively soon after her own summer in Alaska in 1960. She remembered talking with him about walking through tunnels in the snow. In 1967, he was back on Guam for a year where he worked on Apra Harbor. While on Guam the second time, he made friends with Doc and Betty England and other people there. They would include him for get-togethers and have him for dinner, but he was not invited anywhere for Thanksgiving, and he later talked to Dorothy about it, expressing hurt and confusion. She asked him if he ever invited anyone out. He said, "No." And she replied that he needed to return invitations if he expected to receive them.
Son Jim said that David was licenced to handle dynamite, and he remembers attaching blasting caps to sticks of dynamite at the dining room table of our house on Guam during the summer of 1967. He said that after the dynamite went off, the Filipino workers would jump in the water to collect the fish. After they had finished that, David would send them back to look for interesting shells.
Until the early symptoms of Alzheimers began to appear, David was a fine numbers and detail man. He was also terrific with his hands and loved to build things. In the kitchen in house in Hilo, David designed a tall pantry with a lazy-susan device to foil bugs. Several shelves were built so as to rotate on a pole, and the pole was set in a pan of water. Because it was vitually impossible to dry diapers in Hilo's damp climate, David devised a Rube Goldbert device in a small room where hot air was blown around and through the diapers. When Jim and Linda were little and the family was living on Maui, he built and gave each for Christmas a horse with the body made from a nail barrel attached to a 4-legged stand with a lip to keep the barrel from rolling off. Each horse had a cavalry saddle, the kind with a hole down the middle. For more pretend play, the children were also given an army surplus pup tent.
When he and Dorothy lived in Hilo, he took a woodcarving course and carved a head with the likeness of a Hawaiian man. An article in the Hilo Tribune-Herald mentioned, "A handsome coffee table and numerous furnishings in the house have been made by Mr. Greig, who does all kinds of carpentry, masonry and building. He also made the attractive patio which adds so much charm to the home...." He built the garage at 49 Akilolo Street (purchased in 1957), the garden room off the dining room at 927 Noio St. (purchased in 1964), a 3'x3'x3' birdcage with a double-hipped roof for his daughter Linda's canaries, huge speakers for his stereo system and a trestle dining table out of goldwood.
David was a collector. At one time he collected stamps. Another time at a job site, he saw a special rock and brought it back to Noio St. as his amakua. While on Guam the second time, he collected shells.
David liked to buy things without informing or consulting Dorothy, which drove her nuts. He built and stocked a workshop in Hilo, bought more tools whenever he felt like it, bought a stereo system, bought family cars, etc.
David had a barometer to keep track of the weather. He never missed any astronomical events. Anytime there was a lunar eclipse, out we were in the backyard gazing at it through his old telescope or binoculars. He loved to chase sirens. There was never a dirt road that didn't call to him to come and explore it to its end. A great example of his enthusiasm for the rare and unusual is his account of the Mauna Loa eruption in 1950, which he sent as a letter to his Aunt Addie.
Just after Hurricane Dot in 1960, he piled the family in the car to go look. Driving mauka up Piikoi, the water was deeper than the bottom of the doors. Other cars were stalled, but the family pretty much floated along [a real credit to the 1960 Plymouth Valiant].
David and Dorothy had some pretty interesting friends at one point. On one New Years Eve afternoon, they, their friends and all the children drove up to where the homes on Waialae Iki Ridge were just beginning to be built (early 60's). They took bags of fireworks and bottles of champagne. One of the men lit the first rocket. It took off, turned and landed smack dab in the middle of one of the fireworks bags. It was quite spectacular, but no one saw much because everyone was too busy running back to the cars.
As the group raced down the hill, they saw fire trucks racing up the hill. (I know it was a serious thing, but it sure was funny at the time, and those were much simpler days.)David played the ukulele and he had taught himself to play the piano by ear. He often liked to play "Yellow Bird" after dinner. He also played a mean gut bucket [an old wash tub with a laundry cord strung through a hole in the middle and attached to a broom handle. The broom handle would complete the last leg of a triangle by being placed on the rim of the overturned tub.] One of his favorite ditties was the following:
When my father was a boy,
When my father was a boy,
He used to go a'swimming
Down by the crick
Down by the crick
Where there were no wimmin.
One day
A jay
Made off with his apparel
[I can't remember exactly what follows but it ends with]
Went home in a barrel.In the 70's David worked for the City & County of Honolulu at a city park on River Street (the one next to A'ala Park). He was already having difficulty with his memory, and the routine of taking care of a park and making friends with the people who gathered there suited him perfectly. While there he came up with an idea to make watering close to the ground easier. On September 7, 1976 his patent application number 721324 for a "Garden Watering Device" was filed. On May 16, 1978 he received patent number 4,089,469.
David smoked a pipe and loved Granger's tobacco. In his prime he was about 5'11" and 200 - 220 lbs.
He loved to eat, but he wasn't very picky. One of his favorite sayings, "I'll eat anything," irritated Dorothy because she loved to cook. But when he said it, it was always with a twinkle in his eye, which meant that he took great delight in getting her goat.David and Dorothy loved to play poker with friends. Small stakes, penny ante. Someone gave him a visor as a joke. On it were a rabbits foot, a pair of dice and other assorted good luck charms and gambling icons. He loved that hat and wore it until he couldn't play cards anymore.
David also some interesting phrases he liked to use. One he used to describe women of sullied reputations. They were "enthusiastic amateurs." Another was when something took a turn for the worse, "Now that's a revolting development." Still another was, "It's pitiful," with lots of emphasis on the sounds of the letters.
He was a good and gentle and funny man. He taught his children to be observant and to explore new ideas and new things. He taught his children frugality, making do with what they had, and inventiveness, making something new out of something old. He taught his children how to laugh at themselves because he often poked fun at himself. No one could do a funnier cannonball or watermelon dive (squatting at the end of the diving board, placing arms tightly around legs and falling forward into the pool).
David died of Alzheimers Disease on 9 Nov 1989. He had spent about 10 years in Maluhia Hospital, a nursing home in lower Nuuanu on the Ewa side of the valley. He was buried on Monday, 13 Nov 1989, in the columbarium at Holy Nativity Church in Honolulu.
Noted events in his life were:
He worked as an Estimator; construction superintendent.
He was educated at Punahou 1930; Univ. of Hawaii.
born 13 Jul 1917 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Another name for Amy is Dorothy.
Noted events in her life were:
" She worked as a Pre-school teacher; Realtor-Associate.
" She was educated at Punahou 1936; Dominican College; Univ. of Hawaii.
" She was Episcopalian.
Marriage Notes for David Roger Greig and Amy Dorothy Beardmore
MARRIAGE: David married Amy Dorothy BEARDMORE, daughter of Stanley BEARDMORE and Florence Shakeshaft MILLER, on 4 Apr 1940 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Children from this marriage were:
Lorna Jean GREIG was born in 1942 in Wailuku, Maui.
Lorna married Donald Crawford BOOTH on 21 Sep 1963 in Holy Nativity Church, Honolulu, Hawaii (Lorna Greig, 5950 Buckingham Pkwy. #509, Culver City, CA 90230).Marjorie GREIG was born on 17 Dec 1944 in Maui and died on 15 Dec 1948 in Hilo, Hawaii at age 3.
Linda Gay GREIG was born on 19 Sep 1950 in Rural North Hilo (Laupahoehoe), Hawaii.
Linda married Thomas Oakes POWERS (b. 31 Aug 1941) on 22 Dec 1973 in 927 Noio St., Honolulu, Hawaii.James David GREIG M.D. was born in 1951 in Laupahoehoe, Hawaii.
James married Rhodette MATTOS (b. 1964) on 29 Oct 1994 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
born on 25 Dec 1876 in Middletown, Lake County,California, died on 7 May 1962 in Honolulu, Hawaii at age 85, and was buried in Foreign Missions Cemetary, Waimea U.C. Of C., Kauai.
She was known as "Nell" or "Nellie."
She was born in California. Her middle name "Emlie" is from the entry containing a newspaper clipping noting her death in Addie's Date Book. However, in the February 23, 1996 letter from the Reverend Dale Vallejo-Sanderson, her middle name is spelled "Emilie."
According to Addie's "Family's Arrival in Ookala," in late 1879 or early 1880, her father William R. P. arrived in Ookala on the Big Island of Hawaii. Ellen Amelia followed with Helen Emlie (Nellie) and Joyce. They went by steamer (Alameda) as William R. P. was ill.
While in Ookala the children played with Johnnie and Willie Soper.
The family had returned to Middletown by September 28, 1885, as this was where her brother Richard was born.
Marjorie Greig Abel, in a conversation probably in 1976-7, told us "Nell came here [to Hawaii] as governess for the Glade family and met and married Gustaph Hansen. He became head luna [field supervisor] at Kekaha [Sugar Plantation]."
In the 1900 Census, she was living with Joseph and Alice MacIntosh in Honolulu. She was single, her relationship to the MacIntoshes was "guest," and she worked as a governess. The census stated that she had immigrated to Hawaii in 1898, 2 years before the census. He birth year was entered as 1880 and her age as 20, which were not correct. If the immigration date is correct, she arrived in Hawaii about 2 years before her parents.
According to Auntie Meg's Birthday Book she was married in Waimea, Kauai on February 2, 1901. However, her marriage does not appear in the Hawaii Marriage Index for the island of Kauai.
According to the 1910 Census, taken on 15 April, she was 34 years old, had been married 9 years, had given birth to 3 children, all of whom survived, was born in California, did not work and lived in a rented house. They had 3 Japanese servants: a cook, a gardener and a servant. She gave her father's birthplace as England and her mother's as India.
Her husband died in 1915 when their oldest child was 14 and the youngest was 5.
On February 17, 1915 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, and in response to a letter sent to George from Willie on January 18th, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "I am so sorry for poor Nellie's loss and the trouble it has been to you all."
Neither she nor her children appear in the 1920 Hawaii Census Soundex. They don't appear in the 1920 California Soundex either.
On September 9, 1921 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Annie Pont wrote, "I expect you are glad to have Nellie back again in Hawaii."
On October 30, 1928 her father wrote from Honolulu to Addie on Kauai that he had had dinner the previous Sunday with "Hans, Nellie and the boy," and that Hans would be going to Kauai very soon to "settle everything, then will be satisfactory to all hands."
On February 16, 1929 in a letter to Addie, her father wrote, "Nellie and Minnie will look up the Humane Society and ask them to save you [a dog]."
On April 11, 1929 in a letter to William R.P. Whittington who had died before she wrote it, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "I hope you and Dorothy still like your new little home, and Nellie, too? . And that Addie and Joyce are getting on all right at the old home."
On March 25, 1933, cousin Aimée Pont wrote to tell Addie of her mother Annie Pont's death on March 18, 1833. "I have sent a card to Nellie Hanson." She asked that Addie tell Bob and Dick. "Mother was so pleased to hear from you all."
Aimée Pont wrote Addie on May 11, 1938 and mentioned Nell's having to nurse Dorrie night and day.
In a letter to Addie dated February 15, 1942, Beatrice Whittington wrote that she hoped Addie had had a nice rest in the hospital. "I hope Nell came back well, too."
Marjorie Greig Abel, in a conversation probably in 1976-7, told us "Nell came to care for Dorothy."
In her letter to Addie dated December 10, 1945, Aimée Pont wrote that she was sorry to hear that Dorrie had died and that Nell's health was not good.
On October 26, 1957, her sister Addie wrote a letter to Beryl Whittington in England describing her trip with Nell to visit Nell's son Hans who was plantation manager at Olaa on the Big Island.
In 1958 she and her sister Addie (Adelaide Mary) attended their brother William Robert's funeral at Punchbowl Cemetery. He had died on November 11, 1958.
She was living at 2926 Nanihala Place on Oahu at her death. Her remains were interred in plot #228 in the Foreign Missions Cemetary at what is now the Waimea United Church of Christ in Waimea on Kauai.

According to the 1910 census, he was born in Hawaii.
He attended Punahou from 1910-1914.
On October 30, 1928 his grandfather wrote from Honolulu to Addie on Kauai that he had had dinner the previous Sunday with "Hans, Nellie and the boy [3-month-old Basil]," and that Hans would be going to Kauai very soon to "settle everything, then will be satisfactory to all hands."In a letter to his daughter Addie on February 6, 1929 from Honolulu, his grandfather wrote, "You do not say whether you received the contract from Hans." This may have been a contract for the house William was soon planning to buy in Honolulu.
At the time of his son Basil's wedding about 1953, he and his wife were living in Waipahu on Oahu.
In 1957 he was manager of the Olaa Plantation on the Big Island of Hawaii. In October of that year he hosted his mother and Aunt Adelaide Whittington (Addie) and showed them the sights of the island.
His remains are interred in the Foreign Missions Cemetary at what is now the Waimea United Church of Christ, Waimea, Kauai.
According to Maggie Whittington Carmichael David Greig always liked Hanny Hansen, but then again David liked everyone. She also as much as said that Hanny stole the Whittington place in Kalaheo from the rest of the family, and that her mother, Kalei Whittington, had provided the money for Willie and Ellen to build the house in Kalaheo.
Hans married Anna Josephine NETTLETON (b. 1904) on 13 Oct 1925 in Catholic Cathedral Church, Honolulu, Hawaii.

He attended Punahou beginning 1917 and graduating 1927. He obtained his BS from the University of Hawaii.
He and Mary were married before Judge F. M. Brooks. This might have been because Kathleen was born about 5 months before the marriage. (Kathleen's birthdate might have been 1948, but it sure doesn't look like it.) But this was 1943, the country was in the middle of World War II, and if he was a soldier, this could have been one of those war-time things.

293. William Robert Victor Whittington
Family's Arrival in Ookala, 17 Jul 1881, Adelaide M. Whittington [from marriage notes of parents]
born on 11 Nov 1881 in Ookala, Hamakua, Big Island, Hawaii, died on 8 Nov 1958 in Honolulu, Hawaii at age 76, and was buried in Ashes Interred In Oahu Cemetery, Honolulu, HI.
Another name for William was Bob.According to Addie's "Family's Arrival in Ookala," William Robert Whittington was born in 1881 in Ookala, on the Big Island of Hawaii. His father William R. P. Whittington had arrived in Ookala in 1879 or early 1880. Ellen Amelia Boxley Whittington followed with Helen Emlie (Nellie) and Joyce. Granny, Herminie (Minnie) and Adelaide joined them in 1881, and William Robert was born shortly thereafter. Mrs. Soper, a neighbor, assisted in the delivery.
On October 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 1883, Adelaide Whittington wrote a letter to Marie Louise Herminie Caffarel (Granny). The letter is written from Ookala. Addie was about 12 at the time; Bob was less than 2. In the letter, on the 3rd, she reports that "Mamma has made a nice brown holland dress for Bob to have his photograph taken in by Mr. Chase who has come up here to take Ookala & Mamma thinks she will have Joyce taken." She also says, "Bob squeezed two of them (chickens) and made them lame but now they are better."
Marjorie Greig Abel, in a conversation probably in 1976-7, told us that Bob went to San Francisco as an iron apprentice at 12. He "later was certified first engineer of all seas, etc."
The 1900 CA Census Soundex shows a Robert Whittington, born Nov. 1884 in California, age 16. He was enumerated with The Church Home For Boys, 606 Folsom, San Francisco, CA and described as a lodger.
When his brother Sterling was sent home from the first hospital after his accident in March, 1903, "a man from the Car Company tried to see him, but Bob threw him out." Sterling later died as a result of that accident.
On July 5, 1908 in a letter to Minnie Boxley, Annie Pont wrote, "Has Bob got work again? Tell him to keep up his spirits, and it would be better to get a permanent job than temporary ones, unless each temporary one leads to a better paid one."
On August 3, 1909 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Annie Pont wrote, "How are Bob and Dick getting on?"
According to his marriage certificate, he married Matilda Helfers on Dec. 22, 1909 at the German Lutheran Church in Lihue, Kauai. However, the "Index to Marriages-All Islands" states that he was married on Dec. 18, 1909 in Waimea, Kauai. [Could the index be tracking when and where they got their licence?]
In 1910 he and Mathilda were living very near the Greigs at Camp 1 in Makaweli on Kauai. He was employed as a machinist at the sugar mill. His age at this census is 28. They also lived next door to a Helfers family, which was probably his wife's family.
In 1913 he became godfather to Richard H. Whittington's son, William Richard. In the handwritten baptism note he is referred to as Uncle Bob.
On March 23, 1918 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Annie Pont wrote that she didn't understand about Bob's family. "How was it the boy was taken from his mother and given to you? You had not written for a long time, and I had not heard of him being with you.... I am glad you have Addie to help you with Richard. Sometimes it needs younger people to look after and train children, who all try to take advantage of Grandpapa and Grandmama."
He does not appear in the 1920 Census Soundex for Hawaii. This is because he was probably still in the military.
On November 3, 1922 in a letter to Ellen Whittington, Annie Pont wrote, "I wish Bob got a ship that would bring him to France, so that he might come to see us. It would be a pleasure. Nor does he ever go to India. If he went to Calcutta, Charlie would expect him to stay with him all the time he was in port."
On January 12, 1929, in a letter to Addie, Annie Pont wrote, "Bob must be sad at having been absent and unable to see his Mother again."
In his letter of February 6, 1929 to Addie, father William R.P. wrote, "Got to write to Bob. He left N.Y. Feb. 4. He will be in San Francisco 20th. Will be able to put him up here [in Honolulu], and then I suppose he will want to pay you a visit [at the Homestead on Kauai]."
In her November 17, 1929 letter to Addie, Beatrice Whittington wrote, "What is your brother doing? He was a Sailor in the war, and Uncle Willie wrote that he might come to see me, but he never came. His name was Bob."
Addie makes quite a few references to "Bob" and "Richard" in her diaries of 1929-1931 and 1932-1934. In the latter diary, it appears that Bob and Richard moved in with her.
On October 31, 1930 in a letter to Addie, Annie Pont wrote that she had just received "a letter from Bob from Marseille, but he can't come to see us as his boat only stopped from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. And as we are 4 hours train from Marseille, it's not possible for him to come even if he got leave, which from what he says, is not possible. It's a great pity and disappointment. He wants us to meet him at Marseille Feb. 18th/31. We will see if we can manage it."On February 2, 1931 in a letter to Addie, Annie Pont wrote, "Here is February and in a fortnight Bob's boat will be at Marseille. I am sorry Victor and I shall not see him. Bob writes he can't get away at Marseille, the boat only stops 6 to 7 hours, and we are 4 hours distance from Marseille by train. So even if he had leave, he could not get here and back again in that time, even if the trains were at convenient times.... I am very disappointed I shall not see Bob and Richard. But if Victor keeps well, Aimée will go to Marseilles on February 17th to see Bob and Richard on the 18th."
On February 16, 1931 in a letter to Addie, Annie Pont wrote that daughter Aimée would be going to Marseilles on February 18th to meet with Bob and Richard when their boat, the President Harrison, docked for a few hours. Annie's husband Victor was too sick to make the trip, and she had to stay with him. "It is such a pity that it stays so few hours in Marseille, or else they might come and see us here."
On March 25, 1933, cousin Aimée Pont wrote to tell Addie of her mother Annie Pont's death on March 18, 1833. She asked that Addie tell Bob and Dick. "Mother was so pleased to hear from you all."
On December 11, 1935 in a letter to Addie, Aimée Pont wrote, "I'm glad Bob has got a job. Does he likeit?"
In her letter to Addie dated December 10, 1945, Aimée Pont wrote: "I'm glad you've got Bob near you working at Pearl Harbor."
In Addie's "William Robert Whittington's Funeral," she writes the following: "Bob being a Veteran of World War I, he had a military funeral. Bob died the evening of November 9th 1958 at Richard's home, three days before his 77 birthday Nov. 11. The family met at Punchbowl Cemetary at 10 A.M., or I should say at 9.30. The Family -- Son, Richard, wife Doris, sons Keith & Warren, daughter Alice & husband Alexander Brown. Sisters Addie & Nell."
However, in notes from his probate (#020663), he was cremated and his ashes interred at Oahu Cemetary.
In his will he mentioned Richard Sterling, son, and Richard's two sons, Warren and Keith; Alice Brown, daughter; Helen Kunze aka Helen McClellan, daughter; and Violet E. Whittington, "deserted in 9/26/1951." According to Loraine Puaoi, the two daughters are from the marriage to Violet. He left almost all of his assets to his son Richard, and if Richard were to die, to his heirs. Only minimal amounts were left to his two daughters. Nothing was left to Violet. According to Loraine Puaoi, Richard, as executor, took the cash bequest of $4,215.01 and gave 1/3 of that to his stepmother, Violet.
Noted events in his life were:
He worked as a Machinist.
