Sister Margaret Mary
Aotearoa
Before
introducing Sister Margaret Mary, and telling of her life, it was necessary to
find out exactly why a Roman Catholic Nun would be included in the family, and
be one of the cousins and aunts of the descendants of Robert and Elizabeth
Jillett.
Traditionally
the family were Church of England, and from England, so to have a Roman Catholic Nun, there must
have been a relationship with an Irish person.
There is no question at all
about how interesting Family History Research is, especially when you uncover
the unexpected.
Convicts from England were
generally of the Anglican faith, convicts from Ireland were generally Catholic
faith. Well actually until King Henry
the VIII came on the throne, most in England were Catholic. In 1534 Henry VIII
made himself head of the Church of England..
So while wondering why a certain
cousin was who they were, further research into the family lineage was
conducted. The story then became one of
two parts, one relating to Sister Margaret Mary
The story began when Robert
Jillett crossed the Tasman Sea and went
shore whaling in New Zealand after leaving the farmlands of New Norfolk in
Tasmania. Why he left, is an unknown.
Robert was a rather clever man,
at the time there were Maori wars and battles between settlers and then the
Military. Robert chose for his partner
the daughter of a Chief, Etera Te Morere. That assured him of
"protection".
They had a family of 5 children
who survived.
1. Charlotte
Jillett m John Whitehouse
2. John Jillett m Ellen Jane Cook
3. Robert Jillett m Emma McPenger
4. Susan Jillett m William Whitehouse
5. William Jillett m Mary Jane Whitehouse.............
John Jillett married Ellen Jane
Cook in 1875
They had a family of four
1. Sabina Mary Ann Jillett 1877
2. John Robert Jillett 1878
3. Charlotte Ellen Jillett 1880
4. Joseph Frederick Jillett 1882
John died in 1883 and Ellen
remarried and had another family.
John's brother William Jillett
was the original settler of the Titahi Bay area.
John Jillett Family
John Jillett was 32 years of age
when he died, and that is rather sad, and also very young. John and Ellen had a family of 4 young
children and after his death she remarried Wilfred George Chrysostom Legonia
Lee. His father was a clergyman.
Perhaps his dedication to the
Church was the reason for naming his son after the Greek patriarch; archbishop
of Constantinople (398–404),
Chrysostom.
They married in Otaki New
Zealand, in 1885, and had another family, of 5 daughters and 2 sons..
But in researching, sometimes the
unexpected turns up, and so often in my case, late at night!
There was an advertisement in the
Sydney newspaper, regarding the death of John Jillett, the beloved son-in-law
of Mrs Robert Hans Cook, of Sydney and her daughter Mrs George William Foster.
A little confusing was the
reference to Gloucester Street Sydney, it almost infers that John Jillett was
living there. If he was, then that would
explain how he met and married Ellen Jane Cook, a girl from Maitland near
Newcastle. But how did Mrs Peter Cook
become Mrs Robert Cook?
John Jillett was born in 1851 and
his mother died in 1863, he was quite young.
The early deaths of many of the parents left so many young children as
orphans.
John moved to Otaki after his mother
Te Kaea (Etara) died 7 May 1863. John moved to Otaki, or more precisely somewhere near Pukekaraka hill, to
live with relatives of his mother's family. He went there with his
youngest brother, Robert, who was just 3 years old. Robert junior was born
three months after his father died in a horse and cart accident in October
1860. Hone and Robert would have spent time at Tainui marae on the other
side of Pukekaraka hill. Hone was a very active in the Otaki Catholic
Church and his grave is at the top of a small Catholic cemetery marked out on
front side of Pukekaraka hill.[1]
John lays buried in a grave on
top of the hill, looking out to Kaputi.

The Otaki Historical Society record the following information about Pukekaraka hill
1860-65
During the New Zealand Wars, Otaki was divided between ‘Kingites’ – who
supported the Maori King – and Queenites, who supported Queen Victoria and the
New Zealand Government. The Kingites raised their flag at Pukekaraka but there
were no hostilities in Otaki.
1860s
Otaki had a few stores and hotels, and a simple court house and gaol.
There were Maori constables, and a few Pakeha settlers.
1862
William and Mary Small and their baby son Alexander arrived in Otaki.
William built a store, house and blacksmith’s forge.
1866
A coach service began, carrying mail and passengers from Wellington to
Wanganui, later to New Plymouth. The route ran along the beach from Paekakariki
to Foxton. It turned off the beach along what is now Old Coach Road, Rangiuru
Road, Te Rauparaha Street, Convent Road and Old Coach Road again to the beach.
Otaki was a major stop.
An accommodation house built by William Davis, opposite Rangiatea, was taken over by postmaster Frederick Martin. Another accommodation house, run by Thomas and Mary Dodds, burnt down.
1869
A telegraph office opened in Rangiuru Road, later becoming a post
office.
1872
The Telegraph Hotel was opened by Frederick Martin, who transferred the
licence from the hotel opposite Rangiatea. A library also opened.
1874
William Small bought land, Waopukatea, south of the river on which he
later built his home, Clifden – now part of Bridge Lodge.
1870s
There were fewer than 200 Pakeha. In addition to stores and
hotels, there were a few bootmakers, blacksmiths, butchers, saddlers and some
settlers leasing land outside the town. A Working Men's Club, Racing Club,
Athletic Club, Rifle Club, Tennis Club and a Harmonic Society had been
established.
1875
The Telegraph Hotel was taken over by Frederic and Mary Ann Bright.
1876
The Government began buying land for a railway line but then ran out of
money.
1878
An Otaki Road Board was established. Two ships wrecked off Otaki beach:
the Felixstowe (four drowned) and the City of Auckland (no loss of life). The
mast of the City of Auckland remained on the beach until 1936.
1880
The first state school was opened in Rangiuru Road.
1881
James Gear and Isabella Ling began acquiring land in Te Horo.
1882
What is now the Family Hotel was built for Frederic Bright, taking over
the licence from Langley’s in Te Rauparaha Street.
1884
The Bank of Australasia opened an agency in Otaki. Possibly timber
milling began for the proposed railway.
The information regarding John
Jillett indicates his love of horses, and horse racing. He was the Secretary of the Otaki Race Club,
until his death in 1883.
The first official racing club at
Otaki was formed in 1880. This was a European one for which John Jillett, who
died three years later, was secretary. They raced on an area of land known as
the Rikiriki which formed the first circular course in the district. It was of
a mile in length, and on one side followed the Rangiuru stream not far from the
mouth of the Otaki River. After functioning for eight or ten years the Club
encountered financial difficulties, and the course became overgrown with dense
variegated thistle which in most places grew so tall that spectators were
unable to view the progress of the horses until they made the home stretch.
Attendances soon decreased until
the club was finally disbanded, being superseded in 1885 by the Otaki Maori
Racing Club. After spending £250 on reforming the course and a further £170 on
the construction of a Stewards stand and grandstand the Otaki Maori Racing Club
became firmly established. In 1896 they claimed to have never had a loss at any
meeting held. They also boasted in the following year that they had achieved a
record in the number of nominations for a hack race meeting anywhere in New
Zealand. Their entries on this occasion totalled 170.
It raises the question was John
working for the wealthy Racehorse owners, and was that the reason he was in
Sydney?
More importantly who were the
parents of Ellen Jane Cook?
Ellen Jane Cook
Ellen Jane Cook was the daughter
of Peter Cook, was the long standing belief.
Peter Cook was a most interesting person, and researching his lineage
had its links back to another lineage of Jilletts.
One niggling point in this is how
did Ellen Jane Cook from Maitland in NSW manage to be in New Zealand in 1875,
in order to marry John Jillett?
What connection could there
possibly be?
However Ellen was not the
daughter of Peter Cook, rather her parents were Robert Cook Hand born 1807 in
Birmingham and Mary Ann Mc Grath.
Robert used the name Robert Han
Cook, and throughout his life as a publican in Sydney, the name was erroneously
spelt and translated. Robert Hanscook
was often used. No doubt someone forgot
to put the "d" in the name, as he was most likely named after his
mother's family.
Robert arrived on the "Edward"
and was in the Military. He married Mary
Ann in 1836, and they had 11 children.
He died in an institution, at around 75.
Mary Ann McGrath was the daughter
of a soldier James McGrath who arrived on the Red Rufus in 1831. He had his wife and three children with
him. Mary Ann died in 1914, and had
lived for 83 years in the Colony.
Of the children only Ellen went
to New Zealand.
But this research proved also
that there were some links back to the Roman Catholic Church, as Ellen had been
baptised Roman Catholic.
The only other remote possibility
of a meeting is that perhaps John Jillett visited Sydney and stayed in one of
Ellen's father's hotels.
Ellen's sister was also named
Sabina, and had a daughter she named Sabina as well. No doubt that name was a traditional family
name.
Sabina Jillett
Sabina Mary Ann Jillett was the
eldest daughter of John and Ellen Jillett.
This beautiful lady became a nun, Sister Margaret Mary. She taught at
Otaki.
Sister Margaret Mary - Sabina
Jillett 11 November 1877 died 18 October 1959
Sabina Jillett was born on 11
November 1877. Her father was a descendant of Captain Tom Jillett, who was
married to a cousin of Teraiti Tonohi. Sabina was proud of her dual heritage.
Her family was very musical,
and a nephew was Fr Jillett of the Auckland Diocese, who was a gifted musician
and artist. She became a teacher and taught in Otaki. While there she boarded
with the Crompton family, whose own daughter was Sister Ita of the Sisters of
St Joseph.
Sabina entered the Sisters of
St Joseph on 7 July 1898 and was professed as Sister Margaret Mary on 2 July
1900. Her profession had been delayed on account of her ill-health.
Sister Margaret Mary was a
member of the Foundation community when the Sisters began in Manaia, and was
also a Foundation member of the Patea community in Patea. She also taught in
Ohakune for a short time. However the major years of her life were spent in
Otaki where she ministered from 1929 till 1940.
Margaret Mary is remembered in
the Otaki Jubilee booklet as only pint-sized, but she had a quick brain, a soft
heart, and great devotion to St Joseph. In the lean years she would place
whatever was needed in front of Joseph's statue, such as a piece of wood, or a
potato, and invariably have her faith rewarded by the donation of these much
needed items.
She was much more likely to
forgive than punish misdemeanours, described as one parishioner as a sweet
little thing, not always an asset in managing the bigger boys in the school.
There was a playfulness and creativity in her interactions with the pupils that
contributed to their fondness for her.
She also ran a small shop which
pupils enjoyed browsing, and the hats from there were used on Sundays for girls
who had forgotten theirs.
In her later years Sisters
remember her great love of vocal prayer and constant recitation of litanies.
Sister Margaret Mary died at
Sacred Heart Convent Whanganui, on 18 October 1959. Mass of Requiem was
celebrated in the Parish Church at Otaki. Her final resting place was on
Pukekaraka, the hill behind the Parish Complex.
Records from Otaki Historical
Society reveal the different roles that her family played within the community.
Her brother Robert enjoyed racehorses, not unlike his great uncles and cousins
in Tasmania[3].

Joseph, Sr M Clare left Perthville, NSW Australia to begin the New Zealand
branch of the Sisters of Saint Joseph in Wanganui, in the central North Island.

- 1883 Three
of these Sisters went up the Whanganui River to the Maori settlement of
Hiruharama with Suzanne Aubert. Two remained working there for several
months, returning to their work in Wanganui in 1884. Later, Suzanne Aubert
was to begin the first New Zealand Catholic Sisters – the Daughters of Our
Lady of Compassion.
- 1912 A
new convent and large secondary and day school was built on St John’s
Hill, Wanganui. It carried on the name of the original school, Sacred
Heart Convent. Sisters were now teaching in schools from Taranaki to
Hawkes Bay, and south to Otaki.

While
Sabina followed a tradition in the Church, and was a loved member of the Otaki
Community, her father's interest in horses seemed to be a inherit family trait.
Although Sabina and her nephew
followed her chosen path, her extended
family, in New Zealand and in Australia followed a different one.
John Robert Jillett
The
Trentham Racecourse was the Army Camp in 1915
Trentham Camp
There is
a constructed street in the camp, and within a short space of time buildings
will face it to its full length on both sides. It is called MacChrystall’s
parade, after the genial captain of that name. During the previous camps
photographers were allowed to do business with the men, and in many instances
the visitors, after receiving deposits for photographs, never put m an
appearance again. In order to prevent the men being swindled in future. Colonel
Potter has provided buildings for two recognised photographers, and a
proportion of the rent received for the use of the premises is being added to a
fund, to provide the men with, dainties when at sea.

Jillett's Coach service Porirua to Titahi Bay, c1900.Driver is John Robert Jillett. Sabina's brother
Photo from Pataka Museum Collection, at Porirua Library ref P.2.74.
Their uncle William Jillett was one of the earliest European farmers in the area, arriving in 1864, and he has often been called the ‘true pioneer’ of Titahi Bay. Jillett started up a horse-drawn ‘bus’ service from the Bay to Porirua and became the first postmaster in 1902. His nephew John Robert Jillett drove the coach.
From the 1920s real estate and holiday brochures promoted Titahi Bay's 'broad, deep sweep of sandy beach' as a natural and healthy destination. Most of these early holiday-makers would catch the train to Porirua and then the horse bus to the Bay. It is believed that the first bach was built in Christmas of 1900 by the Sievers family.
They were soon followed by
businessmen from Wellington and Manawatu. Mrs Thornley, who from 1903 ran the
Titahi Bay Club Hotel for thirty years, had a couple of cottages to let. The
Titahi Bay Club Hotel provided accommodation and tearoom facilities throughout
the twenties. Mrs Thornley’s son continued the business along with a little
‘sly-grogging’. After the Second World War, it was run as a nightclub. The Club
was finally demolished in 1953.
William Jillett was 21 when he bought some land in 1887 and established a
resort for wealthy Wellintonians and the development of the Bay as a holiday
place continued until World War 2. It is a spectacular setting for the beach,
peninsular, cliffs, rocks, Mana Island, harbour and the sea.
You could say that Horse Racing
to the sons of Robert and Elizabeth Jillett was, to the Whaling Industry of
their daughters!
Each were seeking a prize, one
was called "black oil" the other was entirely different.
If they were not writing about
it, they were riding in it, and they were being officials in it.
In fact a comparison can be made
within the Jillett family, all the Jillett/Bradshaw daughters were involved in
the surfing industry, and all the Jillett boys were involved in the turfing
industry!
Gives Surf and Turf a new
meaning!!!
Robert Jillett married Dinah Maud McIlvride and
they had three sons.

TRIBUTE TO
TRAIL-BLAZERS Pioneers of Trans-Tasman Flying
AUSTRALIA and
New Zealand, brought together in a bond of friendship, mutual co-operation and
' understanding, since the same pioneers colonised the two countries in the
early 1800's, have never had a stronger link than today.
THEY have,
much in common; and now, there is an almost daily air link between the two
countries. This air link is comparatively recent. "Wings Across the
Tasman" (Angus and Robertson, price 18/6; published to-today) puts the
calendar back a quarter of a century to the days when a handful of carefree men
and one woman, dared all to fly the Tasman.
Christchurch's
early spring sun shone brightly on Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith's "old
bus," the Southern Cross, 25 years ago yesterday as it circled the city
thrice and landed on its outskirts. The Tasman Sea had been flown for the .
first time.
This famous airman and his
co-pilot Charles Ulm, fresh from their conquest of the Pacific, four months
earlier. H. A. Litchfield, navigator and New Zealander, T. H. Mc William, radio
operator, had earned for themselves a niche in the hall of flying fame for this
"hop," full of unknown hazards and more than normal share of thrills
and danger. Leslie Jillett, New Zealand born journalist who has worked on
newspapers in both countries, recalls these days — and many others just as exciting
— in his ' Wings Across the Tasman with a down-to-earth, fact-packed account of
the hundred and one experiences and thrills earned by those who chose to fly
the Tasman, described by one as "a dirty stretch of water, - breeding a
vicious type of young storm that rampages up and down for days before the
meteorologists get wind of it.
Mr. Jillett, remembered for his
"Moresby's Few," the story of No. 32 Squad-fn, R.A.A.F., and its
"whispering death'? Beau-fighters, is well equipped to tell the Tasman
tale. Former officer in charge of the R.A.A.F. War History Section, he has a
fascinating flair for browsing through old flying records. To the new
generation, who missed the days of the Tasman air pioneers or their parents who
recall them hesitantly, here is a story of adventure, courage and endeavour, a
story which typifies the fine spirit of the early airmen. Most of their names,
on everybody's lips in the late 20's have been forgotten today ; In this book
they fly again. Names like John Moncrieff and George Hood, first to attempt the
crossing/ who failed and lost their lives; Kingsford-ford Smith and Ulm, Guy
Menzies, first to fly the 1000-odd mile stretch solo; bearded Francis
Chichester, with his Moth seaplane and island-hopping flight. .
No. 32 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force unit based at RAAF
East Sale in Victoria. It currently flies training and transport operations.
The squadron was raised in February 1942 for service during World War II.
Equipped with Lockheed Hudsons, the squadron was tasked with anti-submarine,
anti-shipping operations, bombing and reconnaissance missions in New Guinea. In
late 1942, the squadron was withdrawn to Sydney and re-equipped with Bristol
Beauforts, which it operated along the east coast of Australia until the war
ended. The squadron was disbanded in November 1945, but was re-formed in 1989
and currently operates King Air 350s.
Leslie and Eve had two children
Neil
Barton Jillett 1933 who married Joan Bull
Valerie Clare Jillett 1935 who
married Noel Garnet Dodd.
Neil Jillett became a newspaper
writer, playwright, and acclaimed critic, with the Age in Melbourne.
Valerie studied at Royal Prince
Alfred Hospital.
John lived at Foxton in New Zealand before his
death.
John
died in 1950 and Dinah died in 1945.
Their final resting place, Te Henui Cemetery in Plymouth is stunning and
cared for. Beautiful gardens, a fitting
tribute to the lives of ancestors.
McIlvride Jillett
Their
second son was Douglas McIlvride Jillett who married Phyllis Blackburn. Douglas was born at Tihati Bay
She
was the daughter of Thomas Blackburn from England, who was a carpenter
according to the census and Annie Dalkins.
Douglas
was a teacher with Maori Education. It
was his death in 1965 that began the Jillett Family History.

NZ Maoris v the British Lions
1959. What sticks in my mind as a kid just absorbing the aftermatch atmosphere
is seeing this Maori All Black coming over to my late father and shaking his
hand warmly. Man! A Maori All Black chatting to my Father. Wow! And just after
an all important British Lions tour match. Evidently my father, Grant Holms had
taught at Te Karaka District High School where Sonny Rutene had attended as a
pupil. The Headmaster at the time was a Mr Doug Jillett who later became the
Senior School Inspector for Maori Schools.
Doug Jillett was responsible for
acquiring a scholarship for Kiri Te Kanawa to come to Auckland so that she
could further her singing career. And also at Te Karaka DHS was John Jillett
who later as a professor at Otago University would become synonymous with the
handling of beached whales in NZ and world-wide.[5]
What’s interesting about the 1959 shirt is who made them. Rather than take their shirts with them, the Lions ordered shirts from local manufacturers – in this case, a knitwear company by the name of Canterbury… 58 years later, Canterbury ended Adidas 18-year run as jersey sponsor when the Lions signed the New Zealand
The 1959 British & Irish
Lions won legions of admirers all over New Zealand with their attacking brand
of rugby.
As
diverse from Rugby is Opera and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa
' One of the
greatest sopranos of the modern age has officially announced her retirement at
the age of 73. New Zealand opera
singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, has not performed publicly for about a year but
told the BBC she did not intend to perform in front of an audience again.
2012
I don't want to hear
my voice, it is in the past,' she said. 'When I'm teaching young singers
and hearing beautiful young fresh voices, I don't want to put my voice next to
theirs.'
Te Kanawa's career
spanned more than five decades and included performances at the world's top
opera houses, although she is best known as the diva who sang at Prince Charles
and Lady Diana's wedding in 1981.
Over half a billion
people heard her singing 'Let the Bright Seraphim' by Handel during the
ceremony - but after Diana's death in 1997 she refused to ever sing - or even
listen to - the song again.[6]
She
said: 'When she died, I felt that I should put that song away forever.
Te Kanawa was born Claire Mary
Teresa Rawstron in Gisborne, New Zealand. She has Māori
and European ancestry, but little is known about her birth parents—she was
adopted as an infant by Thomas Te Kanawa and his wife, Nell. She was educated
at St Mary's College,
Auckland, and
formally trained in operatic singing by Sister Mary Leo. Te Kanawa began her singing career as a mezzo-soprano but developed into a soprano.
Her recording of the "Nuns' Chorus" from the Strauss
operetta Casanova was the first gold record produced in New Zealand
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa was to
feature also with another Jillett cousin.
Sergeant Pilot Gordon Grant

Gordon served in World War II
and was killed on a bombing mission in 1941.
Gordon Jillett and his crew
were tasked with bombing the Tirpitz, in 1941. Many sorties' were flown trying
to bomb this huge ship. Later movies were also made. The Sinking of the
Bismark, is what they were attempting to carry out.
He flew a Wellington Bomber.
This mission would be his last. He and the crew were not found.
