The death is announced of William Tandy, aged 96. He came to the colony in 1841 and was probably the oldest resident of the Hutt District
William Tandy was born in Gloucester, England. On 18 Nov 1828, at the age of 24 years, he married 22 year old Mary Butler at Ashchurch, Gloucester, England and settled in Pamington, Gloucester. Before emigrating to New Zealand on the barque "Lord William Bentinck" in 1841, William and Mary had two children, Charles born just a few months after their marriage in 1829 and Charlotte, born in 1832.
William was a 'farm labourer' on the ship's passenger list.
On the family's arrival in NZ, they settled in the Hutt Valley.
In the 1844 Jury List William was recorded as a labourer of River Hutt.
Tragedy struck the family the following year, with the death of their only son, Charles (read his notes)
The Jury List for 1848 shows William as a labourer of Wainui-o-mata. Life in the Hutt Valley was very hard for the settlers in the 1840's and many moved around to find work where they could. It seems likely that William's presence in Wainuiomata was work related, as the following year he was back in the Hutt working and obviously saving for a farm of his own. By the mid 1850's he is recorded as a freehold farmer living at Lower Hutt Road, River Hutt and as the valley developed and suburbs were formed and named, he was recorded as farming in Taita in the late 1870's.
Around 1879 William was back in Wainuiomata and for the rest of his life, was recorded on the Electoral Rolls and Jury lists as residing both in Taita and Wainuiomata. It can only be assumed that whilst continuing his land ownership interests in Taita, he actually worked and resided in Wainuiomata, but apparently never owning land there.
In 1895 he was recorded as a shareholder of the Colonial Bank of New Zealand.
While living in Wainuiomata, he formed a bond with the Dick family, with a grandchild of David Dick being named John Tandy Dick. David Dick was also recorded as the undertaker and informant on William's death certificate.
On 24 July 1896 his wife Mary died and was buried in Christ Churchyard in Taita.
William died two years later, 21 July 1898 of senile decay. For some reason he was not buried with Mary in Taita, but instead, close to the graves of the Dick family in the Coast Road Church, Wainuiomata
He married Mary Butler (1806-1896) in 1852 at Ashchurch, Gloucester
