About Me
I am the only daughter of Lillian and Haki Ngakete Manihera (Jack Maunsell). We lived on the farm my parents had in Poroti/Maungatapere. I remember my father used to tell my brother (Michael)some of the stories of his time away in the Army, but he always protected us from the horror stories of the realities of the war. They also had two other boys Geddes and Alan. He was married to Lillian Maunsell nee Tuari. Aunty Hilda (dads sister) was married to George Shelford and they lived next door to us on the farm. Sadly both parents have passed away and their final resting place is at the Manu RSA Cemetery in Whangarei.
