The top photograph, (both) is of the group of Hartley and Wallis women. The woman in the middle is "Zoe Wallis," (my Great Grandmother, we found out after her passing) with her sister Mabel Wallis on the left, and her daughter Winifred Hartley, my grandmother who was raised as the sister of Mabel and Zoe Wallis. Winifred married James Douglas Hartley,who served in the first world war and a home guard in the second. He was born in Antrim Ireland not far from Belfast. There was a Ralph Wallis and have data documented of all the family members, It was a large family and one of the next gerenation (I believe) was the owner of Wallis's bookshop, just by the New Plymouth Opera House in Devon Street West. One of the older Wallis sisters owned the Howick buses in Auckland Her name was Emily.
