Hi. I am not a descendant of Robert William Smith but am researching the Kawhaiki community on the Whanganui River of which he was a part and am interested in any information about RW Smith, his family and his employment during that period. I understand he managed the farm Te Korito for Charles Smith for a period and it is this relationship I am particulalry interested in. Two of his children William Edgar and Thomas Slavers were executors of Charles Smith's will. Many thanks.

Hi Michelle how nice to hear from you. Sorry for the delay in responding. I have let my cousin Robert Walls know about your posting. He has been researching the Smith family in some detail. He will respond shortly. I look forward to hearing more about your project in due course. Kind regards Andrew

Hi Andrew
Thanks for passing my message on, Robert has since been in touch and clarified a few things for me and I have responded to him. I hope I do find further info of interest to you and your family.
Best wishes
Michelle

Many thanks, Michelle.
