the Bloy's of Lawrence...

Finding this photo at the Lawrence Museum sent me 'finding' Bloys.

My 2nd great grand Aunt Eva Rosa DRAPPER married William BLOY, but died in 1876.
She had had a daughter in 1876, Rosa Annie BLOY -
       

William BLOY remarried in 1878, to Mary Julia Wedlake

Marriages shot from BDM website

           
and had the following children -
       William Thomas 1879
        Charles Frederick  1881
        Francis John        1883
        Emma Miriam     1884
        George Arthur      1888
        Evelyn Julia          1893
        Phyllis Catherine Jane   1898

Bloy Births from BDM NZ website

SO this provisionally is a pic of William, Mary Julia and those 7 children, but not Rosa Annie....
She would have been married by then,
(she wed Frederick James Williams in 1896)
   
where did she grow up...
are there school records for Lawrence; "where" did she and James get married, 

so had Wm Bloy moved to Oamaru by 1896 - try registers or Papers Past
James and Rosa died in Dunedin in 1957 and 1961 - Andy Bay Block 224 Plot 16

the photo
Both William Thomas and Emma Miriam got married in 1906 - was this photo taken then
or at an earlier sitting - both older girls are in same dresses, so maybe not Emma's wedding.
Youngest Phyllis would be 8 in 1906, does she look younger here.
