When I was a child, my Grandfather Alan Ernest Howie helped me to complete a pedigree chart, as far back as my Great Grandparents. When I got older, I continued my pursuit of my Ancestors and their history. The first ancestor that I actually "found" myself was my Great Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Annie Unwin. For this reason, she has always been close to my heart. Elizabeth came to New Zealand as a child, with her parents and her younger siblings. She and her generation mark the commencement of life in the Colony. They are an important milestone.
For a time it was believed, and quite wrongly believed I might add that the Unwin name had died out, in terms of the descendants of Thomas Unwin.
This was based on the belief that Frederick Unwin was the only son to survive to adulthood. Wrong again! Not only did son, Hubert Edward Unwin survive to adulthood he also Fathered 4 sons! Thank goodness, Dot Thomas provided Ann Unwin's Death entry, which showed that Hubert Edward Unwin was the informant for the information and that Ann had been living with him in Hastings, which explains why she died and was buried there! Further thanks, of course, must go to Pam Thrupp (nee Howie) who provided me with this photo of Hubert Unwin, his wife Maud, and his four sons and one daughter!

As to the idea that Hubert Edward Carlyon UNWIN was a twin brother of Clara UNWIN and that they both died, I have to say that this theory did not originate with me, and that there is absolutely no proof to verify this claim.
The Unwin line has prevailed, and spin off families like us the descendants of the daughters, or granddaughters, are their relatives ie: Howies, Erskines, Williams, Veales, Haines, and so on. My own personal interest in the Unwin lineage has been renewed since my DNA test results showed shared DNA matches with persons from Newfoundland, the birth place of the 3 eldest Unwin Children, and of course Ann Reid-Unwin.
To Navigate your way through the posts, each of Thomas and Ann Unwins children will be treated as a branch. I will be constructing a tree of their descendants and will hyperlink each name to specific areas of the blog that are relevant to that branch. The intention is to give mention to every branch.
If you are a descendant of Thomas and Anne Unwin, please make yourself known, get in touch with me, via the comments box below.
