Birth Notes: Husband - Stewart "Roy" Morris
packer, Pt. Chevalier, Ak
General Notes: Wife - Alice May Gibbins
Alice grew up helping on the farm. When her mother died she went to Auckland to work
Auckland City was only visited twice by Alice Gibbins when she was a child, as transport was very different then. In 1912, when Alice was 7 years old, she had her first big trip. The Gibbins family traveled overnight on a steamer down the Northern Wairoa River and across the Kaipara Harbour to land at Helensville. Then they bearded a train for Auckland where the travelers were made most welcome at the home of Mary's eldest sister, Sarah, her husband John Davis and their family. Next day they journeyed on again by boat and finally reached their holiday destination at the home of John's sister, Sarah and her husband Fred Busch, where the family were farming at Pt. Fitzroy on Great Barrier Island. Alice still remembers the wonderful fishing, and how the cases of fresh fruit they took to the island were really appreciated.
The second trip to Auckland that Alice remembers came about when a young Schoolteacher named Ray Fletcher was boarding at the Gibbins household. He was a very popular member of the family and each school holiday Ray took a few of his pupils to stay with his parents in Auckland and see the sights. Ray took Alice and Mary to the zoo (then situated in Onehunga), to a concert at the Town Hall and many other sights. Ray Fletcher was sadly missed when the Great War claimed his life a few years later.
