Johnstoneville Subdivision in Sumner

Johnstoneville subdivision in Sumner. Several streets in Sumner are described as being in Johnstoneville subdivision going by the information on the library website. I couldn’t find any mention of the subdivision in Papers Past. I also checked Ancestry website with no luck. Today when I was looking for something totally different the name H B Johnstone popped up in connection with the road board in Sumner. I then looked at Papers Past and H B Johnstone was a solicitor in Christchurch and he lived on Fendall Town Rd. He was on the committee for the planned formation of a railway from Ferrymead to Sumner plus on the committee for the All Saints Church in Sumner. His full name was Harry Bell Johnstone and I had looked at him on Ancestry but dismissed him because he hadn’t lived in Sumner and and had died in Tauranga. Many of the family trees on Ancestry didn’t have him living in Christchurch at all. In 1870 he sold his house on Fendall Town Rd and moved out Oxford way. He was heavily involved in the Acclimatisation Society and he enjoyed fishing for salmon. I found his obituary in April 1894 and it mentioned that he had moved to Tauranga for his health. He owned several lots of land including 150 acres in Sumner. He had land out near Oxford and possibly land in Waimate. He still owned a large section of land in Fendalton and there were at least two articles about him refusing to sell this land when he was alive. All of this land was for sale after he died including the land in Sumner
