1. Maud Sophia Ann Gear was born on 18 Nov 1909 in Millerton, West Coast, New Zealand; died on 16 Nov 1990 in Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand. Notes:
In her teens, when Maud's daughter Cathreen asked her grandfather Bert why her mother had been given so many names, he told her they thought she might be an only child (!) so she was given all the family names. They of course went on to have another 14 children. Maud, living with her family in Blackball at that time, also visited Otira. She remembered travelling by horse-drawn coach from Otira to Arthur's Pass, sitting on the knee of a soldier on his way to WW1. Her Aunty Ann (Kidd?) went with her and together they made the return trip to Otira with the coachman. Maud was very young at the time but her memory of her Otira visit was always very vivid and remained with her all her life.
Maud married Robert McGhie on 27 Jun 1928 in Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand. Robert was born on 23 May 1901 in Minto's Land, Blantyre, Lanarkshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
