Just discovered this great album on eBay recently.
It shows a house and the Clabburn family - the house was in Kinross Street - just off Bolton Street in Wellington, New Zealand.
The
house was built about 1869 for Sir James Prendergast, (he moved to
Wellington in 1867) Chief Justice of New Zealand, he died in 27 Feb.
1921, then at a later date about 1925 to 1938, it was owned by the
Clabburn family. It was demolished about 1939.
The
Clabburn family came out from Norwich and lived in Karori, at Kinross Street, and
then Kelburn.
