Eight Kaipara Residents Are Now Officially Kiwis

Kaipara gained eight new official Kiwis recently when the Bayliss and Barton families affirmed their allegiance before Mayor Neil Tiller at a citizenship ceremony at Kaipara District Council.

Pictured following the ceremony are Peter Barton, Christopher Bayliss holding two year-old Daniel who already had New Zealand citizenship by birth, Joshua Barton, Mayor Neil Tiller, nine year-old Anna Marie Bayliss, Stacy-Ann Bayliss, Pamela Barton, Eva Barton and Dr Roy Barton.

Both families have been living in Dargaville for four years and all came from the United Kingdom, with the exception of Mrs Stacy-Ann Bayliss who is originally from the West Indies and her daughter, Anna Marie who was born in Bermuda.
