Dear Anne,

Thank you for your response! Apologies that it has been so long!
It was great news to receive your message with regard to the Hathaways - because I haven't been able to get much info.
I will give you a brief history on our Isaac P Hathaway.
(I am pretty sure that he would have to have been related to your Hathaway's in Fiji.)
Isaac P Hathaway was dear friends and also son in law of David Whippy who was married to Tokasa Delau. Isaac P Hathaway was married to David Whippy's daughter Kezia Whippy. And he was witness to David Whippy's will.

Isaac P Hathaway's children were:
Almeda Potter Hathaway (people get her confused as being one of David Whippy's daughters.) (Married John Dods)
Caroline Binner Hathaway (married Mark Thomas Dods)
Ephraim Hathaway.

Ephraim's children were:
George Hathaway
Almeda (Alla) Hathaway
Pearl Hathaway

Apparantley there were Hathaway's in Kasavu on Vanua Levu.
But I would just love to hear more info about what you have on the Hathaway's in Fiji and how they got there.
I can't seem to trace how they arrived in Fiji. Isaac was born in Fiji. There was a Captain Richard W Hathaway who was sailing around the South Pacific previously....

I have a photo of who might be Isaac P Hathaway.
I have heard that our Hathaways went to NZ. Another interesting point, is that there are now existing 'Athaways' (without the H) living in the Whippy settlement as Wainunu. (expalin later about that).

Do you know where abouts in Fiji, your Hathaway's are from?

If you would like more info, as I am running out of room here. I am most happy to email you.....

Many Thanks!
Samantha
