Name of ‘Lyndon Buckland’ Peter Horneman in a visit to Peter in Christchurch by Brian of nzolivers.com in May 2017. Peter is the great-grandson of Emma Caroline Horneman b. 1836.

Peter said Lyndon is an artist/painter. She has painting in Kiwi House and Native Bird Park attraction in Otorohanga, New Zealand.

Brian’s (nzolivers.com) sister, Helen Oliver writes:
It must have been Lyndon's home where Mum [Isabel Oliver nee McCaul] and I visited in Mt Maunganui. I was maybe around ten, eleven or twelve years of age and it was just us two. Maybe we were all on holiday there. She use to collect to shells from the beach and make amazing things from them, photo frames etc”.

Brian of nzolivers.com spoke over the telephone to Lyndon on 31 August 2017. Lyndon said it was her mother Nita that Helen would of visited in Mt Maunganui and had the collection with the shells. Lyndon painted the ladies wearing bonnets and beautiful long dresses that Brian remembers on wooden place mats.

Second name, date of marriage, from a document “Descendants of Charles Coombs (Dr.) Clark” received from Linda Burge in an email dated 4 June 2017. Linda’s great-grandmother’s (Frederica J Horneman) sister (Emma C Horneman), married Henry G Clark (b.1827).

John Buckland in an email dated 29 June 2017 writes, “My mother Nita Clark was a talented watercolour artist and started [daughter] Lyndon on painting, after which she was enrolled at Hamilton Girls' High School. Her art teacher was Ida Carey, well known as a NZ painter in oils during those years. Lyndon's work was shown with other entries in the Kelliher Art Awards”.

Brian spoke with Lyndon by telephone on 3rd September 2018. She was the daughter of Nita Clark, Brian's mother's cousin. Lyndon was still living at home on her own, with a caregiver coming in to help. She explained she was not in a position to correspond and was very apologetic. I had previously rang Lyndon on 31 August 2017.
