Thread: ancient percussion lock identification

Greetings @akaroa1,
Relatives of mine on my mothers side lived in Akaroa from 1855. Joseph Deighton was the Policeman, Postmaster and Librarian. They could sure multitask in those days. I am Joseph's first cousin many times removed and his wife, Ellen, was my Aunt also many greats. Yes they were cousins.
I am helping with some planning work on a local hall. The original hall was built in 1877 and it has had many alterations some of which were built by my two times great Uncle on my fathers side. A ten minute chat with Donald the carpenter, as he was called, would clear up a lot of questions. Unfortunately he died in 1917.
Regards Grandpamac.
