Book: Poukawa Station Ledger 1903-1938. My grandfather Wallace Henson (Wally) was the carpenter on Poukawa Station. He met my grandmother Jane Elizabeth Ray (Ginny) a domestic servant at Poukawa Station in 1913, they left to get married in the Masterton Registry Office in 1914. They had six children and lived near Pirinoa, Wairarapa. Would it please be possible to check the book for their names and get photocopies of the relevent pages? I will gladly pay any expenses.
