Probate: Michael Morris LEWIS died 12 Aug 1947 BBAE 1570 0978/47 Auckland. More about MICHAEL MORRIS LEWIS: Michael commenced his commercial career working for a firm of jewellers, then with Kempthorne Prosser & Co., wholesale druggists. It was with the mercantile house of P. Hayman & Co., however, that he became so well identified. Their head office was in a handsome Edwardian commercial building on the north side of Customs St.,East, not far from Queen St., Auckland. (Still standing in 1999, identifiable by a plaque over the main entrance with intertwined letters "P.H." Sadly, the building will probably become a casualty of the Britomart development scheme.) He was variously Senior Traveller, Auckland Warehouse Manager, Wellington Manager and finally General Manager. He was well regarded in the commercial world of his day. In 1897 Michael married Daisy Boyd, born 1878, died 04/04/1948. I still (1999) have her engagement ring containing three rubies, said to be the best ring in Hayman & Co's stock at the time. She was regarded askance by the Lewis family because, although good looking, she was a Gentile and her antecedents were comparatively modest. Her non-Jewish status no doubt offended her mother-in-law Rebecca, daughter of a Rabbi. Her father was said to be the regimental tailor of an imperial regiment stationed in New Zealand during the Maori Wars. Her Mother was said to be French, her maiden name was Ceraneau or Cheraneau and she lived to be 100 or so.

ANNIE4 LEWIS (REBECCA3 ISAACS, JACOB MYER2, MYER SAMUEL1) was born July 22, 1870 in Auckland, New Zealand, and died Abt. 1925. She married FREDERICK MYER SOLOMONS December 02, 1896 in Auckland, New Zealand. He was born Abt. 1868 in England. Notes for ANNIE LEWIS: Annie was born in Auckland and married Frederick Myer Solomons (a tobacconist born in England about 1868) in Auckland 02/12/1896. They had three children, Doreen, Thelma and, according to a family Bible note (copy held by GFF), a girl Olive Meryl, born 31/12/1905, died 30/01/1906 and a boy, Ernest Louis, born 15/11/1907, died 24/12/1908. Ernest, according to Lorraine Elliott, Annie's great granddaughter, fell down stairs and broke his neck. The family moved to Sydney, Australia, in 1906 or 1907 after Frederick was declared bankrupt and to seek treatment for his tuberculosis. (There was little that could be done for the condition at that time other than extended hospitalisation and rest. It would be the 1940's before drugs such as penicillin would be available.) He ran a tobacconist shop in Pitt Street, Sydney and the family lived in the Mosman area. Frederick died in 1925 or 1926 and Annie committed suicide 6 weeks later, no doubt shattered by her husband's death, their frugal life and the earlier loss of two young children.

However he was rejected on the grounds that he was unfit for aircrew. He then took a job with Caltex Ltd.

In January 1943 he was posted to RNZAF Station Rukuhia. He was one of the airmen who would be rostered on to guard the AR9 fuel depot in Cambridge, and it seems that when on duty there he was under the jurisdiction of RNZAF Hamilton's Transport Section.
