Emily Surtees, a Snapshot of Katikati

Emily Charlotte Sophia Surtees (née Stewart) (1857-1957) was born at Moneymore in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland on 1 August 1857. She was the eldest of what would become 11 children to the ‘Father of Katikati’ George Vesey Stewart. Emily was a rare breed, a woman photographer in a male-dominated profession, and the Emily Surtees’ Photograph Album is undeniably the most important discovery in recent times about the history of the European settlers at Katikati in New Zealand’s North Island. Story researched, written and published by Debbie McCauley.

George Vesey Stewart and Margaret Torrens Miller married in St John’s Desertlynn Church of Ireland at Moneymore on 17 April 1856. Moneymore (Muine Mór meaning large thicket / hill) is a village in County Londonderry in Northern Ireland.

The birth of eldest daughter Emily on 1 August 1857 was announced in the Londonderry Sentinel: STEWART – On the 1st inst., at Moneymore, the wife of George Vesey Stewart, Esq., of a daughter (7 August 1857).

The first European settlers to Katikati from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland were known as the No. 1 Party and arrived in Auckland on board the Carisbrooke Castle on 8 September 1875. These were mainly tenant farmers with limited financial resources, but they had paid their own way and were accustomed to hard work. Three years later the settlers of the No. 2 Party arrived on board the Lady Jocelyn on 17 August 1878. This second party brought settlers with more capital into the community, and as George Vesey Stewart’s sister-in-law Adela wrote in 1908, included “two Generals, a Major, two or three Captains and Lieutenants, a Canon, a Doctor, no end of pretty girls and fine young men” (My Simple Life in New Zealand, p. 15).

Emily was on board the Lady Jocelyn with her father George Vesey Stewart, elderly grandparents Capt. Mervyn and Frances Stewart (née Vesey), aunt and uncle Adela and Hugh Stewart, their son Mervyn and various other family members. That voyage was to be life-changing for Emily. There was a sizeable party on board to celebrate her 21st birthday, and she met her future husband, fellow passenger Richard Villiers Surtees. Richard’s sister Louisa was also on board, travelling as companion to Adela.

Emily and Richard were married a year later, on 12 June 1879, by Rev. Cannon Johnston at ‘Mount Stewart’, the home of her parent’s George and Margaret at Tahawai. Two days later, on 14 June 1879, an extensive article on page two of the Bay of Plenty Times described the setting, wedding, and guests in both poetic and minute detail:

The bright waters of the Bay of Plenty sparkling under the rays of the midday sun stretching away in the distance, the dark green of the trees and foliage skirting the beach, the Katikati mountain ranges with their well-defined summits appearing against the pure azure of the western sky, with the autumnal tinted verdure of the Katikati hills in the background formed a picture which perhaps this part of New Zealand alone could present…

A little after two o’clock the company assembled in the drawing room. The bridegroom… awaited at the improvised altar the arrival of the bride, who immediately entered, leaning on the arm of her father. She looked charming, the pure white corded silk trimmed with lustrous satin, and veil of Limerick lace suspended with a wreath of orange blossoms, in which she was attired harmonising admirably with the fairness of her complexion.

Bay of Plenty Times (14 June 1879).

The article also tells us that a flag was flown from the upper story of the Bay of Plenty Times premises at Tauranga in honour of the wedding. Along with the extensive article, the flag flying is unsurprising given that George had taken over the newspaper in January of 1879.

After signing the register, the bridal party were photographed by Charles Spencer, who had first advertised his photographic studio just two months earlier, on 15 April 1879. Spencer’s studio was run from a tent next door to Wrigley’s Spring Well Brewery, established in 1873 at the junction of Willow and Spring Streets in Tauranga.

A celebratory ball was held the night of the wedding, one which carried on into the small hours of the following morning:

At night Mrs Stewart gave a ball in the billiard-room, which was gracefully decorated for the occasion. Dancing commenced at 8 o’clock and was kept up with great spirit till an advanced hour yesterday morning.

Bay of Plenty Times (14 June 1879).

Emily and Richard received 204 acres of land from George as a wedding gift. The couple made their home on that land, establishing ‘Stanford House’ on Surtees Road (later Hikurangi Road). Their first child, Caroline, was born six months later, on 2 December 1879. Reported in the Bay of Plenty Times as being ‘premature’ it is rather more likely that Emily and Richard were already expecting a baby when they married.

Their next three children, Ethel (1883), Sybil (1884) and Richard (1886) were also born in Katikati. Four months after Richard’s birth, the Surtees family left the country, moving to Fish Lock at Low Dinsdale in Durham, England. Their next two children, Sophy (1890) and Elizabeth (1897), were born there.

It is not known what sparked Emily’s interest in photography, but when she arrived in Tauranga for a visit on 19 November 1898, she carried her own photography equipment with her. Emily made a point of photographing many of the pioneer families living in Katikati, as well places, social events, and local points of interest. In around 1900, she took her glass plates with her back to England. The ship passed through the tropics during the voyage, and it is thought that much of the discolouration that can be seen in the prints today was caused to the original plates by the humidity.

When Emily arrived back in Durham, she developed her plates. She mounted the 286 prints in a photograph album of 54 pages, making notes throughout as to who the people and places were, and in some lucky cases, including the date the photograph was taken.

Harry, Hugh and William Stewart are three of nine children of George Vesey and Margaret Torrens Stewart (née Miller) who married in Ireland in 1856 and arrived in New Zealand on board the Carisbrooke Castle on 8 June 1875. In this photograph, taken by their older sister Emily in 1899, the brothers seated around a small table in the midst of a card game. All three are smoking pipes and looking at their cards. Through the foliage behind them can be seen their home at Katikati, a homestead named Martray after their ancestral estate in Ireland. Image: Emily Surtees’ Photograph Album (p. 28/01).

The Surtees family arrived back in New Zealand on 10 December 1904, intending to stay permanently this time. They firstly visited their Smith relatives in Marton, before once again making their home at ‘Stanford’ in Katikati.

Richard died in Katikati on 26 April 1938, at the age of 85. He was buried in Katikati Cemetery. Emily then moved to Torbay in Auckland where she lived until she died at the age of 99, on 2 May 1957. She was cremated at Waikumete Cemetery.

Well respected Katikati historian, the late Ellen McCormack, discovered an old photograph that showed members of the McCormack family photographed with their good friends, the Surtees-Smith family. Wanting to share her find, she wrote to the Smith family in Marton, also sending them a copy of the image.

Richard Surtees sister Louisa had married Edward John Smith in 1881. It was her daughter-in-law and niece, Elizabeth Smith, who replied to Ellen’s letter. She not only mentioned the Emily Surtees photograph album, but also included a couple of scanned pages to see if Ellen was interested in the images. The album had been discovered a few years previously in an aunt’s cupboard, and as her cousin did not want it, it came into Elizabeth’s possession. Ellen immediately realised the value of the collection and Elizabeth was kind enough to send scanned copies of all the pages to her in Tauranga, along with her permission to share them with the public.

In 2012 Ellen and Debbie McCauley (herself a descendant of two Katikati pioneer families) started work on the photographs in order to make them available to the public. The scanned images were also used in a book that Ellen co-authored with Christine Clement, The Pioneers, Settlers and Families of Katikati and District (published by Christine Clement, May 2012). This was the first time the photographs had been published since they were taken 114 years earlier.

Meanwhile, Ellen visited the library every Sunday where she and Debbie systematically worked through the photographs. When Ellen passed away in 2017, Debbie continued work on the photographs, carrying out more research and improving the notes they had already made, finally finishing this project in September 2020, eight years after it started.

The Emily Surtees’ Photograph Album is an important contribution to the history of the European pioneer settlers of Aotearoa New Zealand. The images record daily life in the Katikati settlement, the people, including Māori, and the places they created for themselves, their activities, the visitors they received, and a landscape as it was before it was impacted by a century of change. The album is truly a taonga, one which has finally found its place in the light.

Note: In 1900 Emily Surtees photographed the home of my third great grandmother, Katikati pioneer Rachel Hamilton (née Lennard) (c. 1836-1904). Emily also recorded details of a photograph of Rachel in her album, but sadly the original image is missing. There is still hope that it may turn up one day – Debbie McCauley.

“I am so very grateful to Emily for photographing and developing the images, to Elizabeth Smith for caring for them for so many years, and to Ellen McCormack for ‘discovering’ and sharing them”
