	William (Bill) James Forrest was born in Auckland on 15 July 1911 - one of twins, the other being Lily. Their parents, John William Forrest and Lily Silcock married on 31 December 1909 and the twins were their first children. The birth took place specifically at "Paeroa Cottage", Brighton Road, Remuera. One week later, (22 July 1911) Mrs Forrest died at the age of 26, no doubt as a consequence of the double birth, and was interred at Purewa. https://mail.ohinemuri.org.nz/journals/journal-39-september-1995/william-james-forrest-music-teacher

Note on Marriage

He worked in a timber mill at Dargaville until they came to Paeroa in 1880. At one stage he was County Foreman. He purchased 27 acres of freehold land in Rye Lane, 25 acres of which he leased out. This 25 acres is now part of Kennedy Street, Millar Avenue and Quarry Hill.

 

The original home on Prospect Terrace was at the top end (or west end). He later built (Greendale) at the bottom end (east end) of Prospect Terrace where the family lived for many years. I have very fond memories of it. When Gran Silcock passed away we, the Forrest Family, moved to 4 Prospect Terrace. The old property was then sold to Mr Denton, later Mr Allan, then to the present owner, Mr Stevens.
