Possible location of John McIlvride in Russell Terrace

Shared note	Possible location of John McIlvride in Russell Terrace BUS: Archives Archives@wcc.govt.nz Hi Nick, Thanks again for you request for information regarding John Mcllvride and where he may have lived. The Te Aro Rate Book of 1900-01 records a John Mcllvride owing a property in Town Acre 1030 on Russell Terrace. That year it appears the rate collectors were on that (even) side of Russell Terrace working south and his name is the first recorded under Town Acre 1030. Following that logic, I think John was living at what is now 68 Russell Terrace as it is the first property in that Town Acre. Town Acres 1030 and 1032 were subdivided in 1885 and Angus Avenue was created. I have attached an image of the plan of the subdivision. The property that become 68 is considered Lot 6. It was built between 1886 and 1892 as it appears on the Thomas Ward map of that year. I have also viewed the letter written by John to the Council. It is dated March 1900 and he is complaining about the water being off in his part of the street for 13 days! I hope this helps answer some of your questions around this man. If you are ever in Wellington, you are welcome to come into our Archives and view the Council Rate Books. All you have to do is contact in advance of your arrival and we will get material ready for you. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask us.
