Win family

Description

Alternative NameWin PlaceFamily LocationRichmond (N.Z.)DescriptionAccording to Tasman District Council records Win Place was originally named for J. W. Win who was killed during the First World War. As the information could not be confirmed, and numerous members of the Win family have served in foreign wars, the street has been rededicated to the wider Win family of the Tasman District. This includes Graham and Roy Win.

Female members of the Win family also played a role in the war effort, and were recognised for their work on patriotic committees and church guilds. In 1917 Mrs Win of Dovedale was lauded for her role as the oldest worker for the Dovedale branch of the Red Cross. She was 87.
