Note on Child 1: Alice Ann BOOTH (2)

 

ALICE ANN BOOTH was born at Kohekohe, Waiuku on the 20th of May 1872. She was the only

daughter of Richard James Booth and Sarah Booth who were married in 1870. Sarah was widowed

and previously married to Joseph GILLOTT of Te Toro.

Alice attended the Kohekohe primary school from 1877 to1887 and attained her standard 6 level.

Very little is known of her early life living on the Manukau Peninsula, or association with her peers in

Franklin, but times must have been very interesting and provocative. Alice met and married George

CUNNOLD on June 20th 1901 at Kohekohe.

The Cunnold family had emigrated from Suffolk, England on the ship “Oxford” in 1874 when George

was only 2 years old. They eventually moved to Onewhero over the Waikato River on to an

undeveloped 100 acre farm. The farming venture milking only 30 Jersey cows was able to support

their young family of four: William, Alice, Mary, and Eva. They all attended Onewhero Primary

School that was some 2 miles away cross country or by horseback. Farming was hard work and

access to the outside world was via a river barge to Tuakau and Pukekohe.

The family matured and left home and went their own way and after 24 years of farming George and

Alice sold the farm and moved to Auckland city. Their final address was 25 Volcanic St, Balmoral.

They purchased a small 3 Brm bungalow and spent the rest of their days in peace and quiet in this

small no exit street.

George Cunnold died in1950 and Alice Ann Cunnold [nee Booth] died 3rd Aug 1955 and they are both

buried in Waikumete cemetery. It would be easy to imagine granny advocating her rights and

principles. She was certainly very positive and upright; most things were black and white!
