She later married my Grandkoko known as Thomas Wade. I have whanau connecttion's to the Cooper Whanau through Nanny Tiraha Cooper, Te Kiwa's mother was Te Waarani aka Te Arani Koniria, to the best of my knowledge she is buried at Whatapaka Marae Ki Waikato. My nanny Kiwa was sent as a teen to look after an old kaumatua who lived at Te Awamarahi Marae Tekohanga. Since that time Te Awamarahi has been regarded as our Papa Kainga or Home Marae. I am looking for info on my tipuna and heritage. About 14 years ago Carmen Kirkwood o Whatapaka Marae wrote a whakapapa on the Te Whanau o Ted Kirkwood, who is whanui to me. In that script there was an entry of Maruapa and his descendants I have recently come back from Aotearoa, On my visit to our sacred Maunga O Taupiri it became very clear to me that I must have this knowledge basket to pass down to my Tamariki.

Posted by Anne Email:chapman-estate@xtra.co.nz August 28, 2001 We have been told that my late father in law was a descendant of Tamati Waka Nene. We believe his descendancy came through his grandmother Mary Elizabeth Pickering. I am unable at this time to complete the link, does any one know of any other descendants or someone who can help? I am trying to put together a family history and would welcome any help. Thank you, please email me if you can help. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in reply to "Names of Tamati Waka Nene's children? - Pickering?" Posted by Joseph Hakaraia August 28, 2001 Tena koe Anne, RE: "TAMATI WAKA NENE"... Are you referring to the Ngapuhi chief, or is this another person totally different with the same name? If this is the Tamati Waka Nene of Ngapuhi fame, who was also the younger brother of Eruera Maihi Patuone that you refer to, it appears he left no issue according to the family-tree I have in front of me. The family-tree I have is based on the descendants of the "HANLEY" families, who were early settlers in Kororareka-Russell.... but don't let me deter you.... maybe someone else can shed more light on this than me. Good Luck with your quest!! Regards! Mr H J Hakaraia. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in reply to "Re: Names of Tamati Waka Nene's children? - Pickering?" Posted by Carol August 28, 2001 Hiya Last week I found IHAPERA (first christian wife of TW Nene) had been buried up at Mangungu WES Mission Station along with her daughter, Annie BARTON (Patene), who had married Wiremu Patene in 1837 in the Mangungu WES Mission records. Both women married, died and buried in 1837. Whether Annie was TW Nene's child I dont know. Is the book that you have available to the general public or a private study?

I write in anticipation that someone somewhere may be able to help me. I have recently discovered that Ngati Haua had a chief called Ngakuku and that Ngakuku Descends from Hakaraia. My fascination with this is that both these names are in my family and that we also descend from tupuna by these names. Ngakuku had a daughter by the name of Te Aorere, who was killed when he was travelling back from Tauranga over the Kaimai's. I ask if anyone could shed light on this matter I would be most thankful.... I'm wanting to find out the connection between Ngakuku of Ngati Haua and Ngakuku of Ngati Whakaue from whom I descend..... It is to uncanny for the similarity in names and no connection.... We are the Ahomiro Whanau.... So if you can help.... Please do.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in reply to "Re: Ngakuku - Ngati Haua & Ngakuku - Ngati Whakaue" Posted by Joseph Hakaraia August 28, 2001 Kia ora e hoa!
