This branch is based around the ancestors and descendants William Henry Beazley (1820-1910), An Englishman who arrived in New Zealand in 1836, he married twice. First to Elizabeth Faulkner (1837-1869) of Ngaitukairangi, and then Elizabeth Boyce (1844-1921). These marriages produced 24 children.
Inside you will find the Beazley whanau whakapapa, charts, family history, photos, stories and much more. And although this is one of the most comprehensive Beazley whakapapa ever assembled, it is very much a work in progress.
It is a place where you can not only learn from the knowledge of other whanau, but more importantly, it is a pkace where you can share your knowledge with them within the confines of a closed whanau forum.

First and foremost, to Marion Wellington (Waitara) for initiating, driving and carrying the Beazley whakapapa project in its early days, from its inception 1982 till the the production of the Beazley whakapapa booklet in 1990, and your ongoing efforts to this day. Your foresight was the catalyst that brought many of our whanau together and for this we are forever grateful.
The 1990 booklet provides much of the material you will find in this database of over 5000 individuals. This required help of some outside expertise. Lewese Davis-Hicks and Pat George of the
New Plymouth Genealogy Group. Bruce Ralston, a professional researcher of Wellington.
Some of the earlier whanau to get involved where Sheryl and Arthur Beazley (Hokianga), Fanny and Sid Beazley (Rawene), Mac Morunga (Rawene), Joe Beazley (Te Kopuru), Bev and Fred Beazley (Omanaia), and Sam Beazley (Omanaia).
There were numerous meetings chaired by Tuck Nathan and attended by numerous whanau members who also helped finance the project. Laurel and Gordon Miller who provided tramsport and who made endless phone calls.
To all the spouses, families and friends that put up with the continued diet of "Beazley" over the years. Marion's husband Keith and friends Robyn (Otahuhu) and Rene (Waitara) just to mention a few.
The list goes on and on and names have become to numerous to mention you all, To everyone else who have helped in any way, THANK YOU.

If you have any questions or comments about the information on this site, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
Most of us know our grandparents, parents, siblings and children, we know their birthdays and have pictures of them. However, most the whanau whanui don't know this information and we don't know theirs.
What we ask is that each of us please share this basic information with the rest of the whanau. If we were to do this, then our whakapapa would be that much more rewarding, and the wairua of the whanau whanui would be that much more complete.
We also ask that burial details of our tupuna be provided as many whanau have no idea where many of them are buried. Providing this information and a photo will allow whanau to visit them (either physically or virtually) to pay their respects.
Our tipuna deserve this as do our future generations. It is a gift that can so easily be given, if only we were each to take a little time to help, with which is essentially "Our whanau legacy"
