Only of interest to Hellabies.
A web search on "Hellaby" (Google, late 1999) threw up 409 pages. As usual, other search engines threw up a different set of sites. Here's a summary of what I've found. (Odd bits of newer info I've received are included.)

There is no attempt at completeness here, and no plan to keep the info current.

• PEOPLE - SIGNIFICANT INFO
  • Hilda Alice Hellaby lived in Vancouver and then Yukon. First Anglican woman in Canada to earn a theology degree. Deaconess of Anglican Church (one site says Catholic), 1951 - 1983. Church hall in Whitehorse named after her. See

  • Australian freelance reporter David Hellaby writes mostly on computer and infotech matters. Lots of his articles appear on newspaper web pages. Doesn't seem to have his own web page. E-mail: hellaby@bigpond.com, DavidH@megabyte.com.au. He used to be a top investigative reporter (for News Ltd), and won a number of awards. He investigated the collapse of the State Bank of South Australia, in which he reported that billions had gone missing, and alleged bank fraud. One time he decided to take a stand on the question of source confidentiality for reporters, which Australian law limits. He refused to divulge a source to a court, which resulted in a contempt of court fine. There were also death threats, and an abduction attempt against the family. David's investigative work is still studied in journalism courses. No-one (other than David) was ever convicted in connection with the collapse.
  • Madeline Hellaby and William Hellaby have written some books about the Baha'i Faith - one on Prayer, one on Family Life, and are mentioned in various sites related to the Baha'i Faith.

• PLACES & BUILDINGS
  • Hellaby. A village near Rotherham in Yorkshire, UK. Mentioned in the Domesday book (1086) as "Helgebei" (according to http://www.hotelbook.com/static/welcome_28818.html ). Presumably the surname originated as indicating a person came from Hellaby village in Yorkshire.
  • Hellaby Hall. This was built in 1692 to a Flemish design, as Ralph Fretwell's country home. Nothing to do with the Hellaby family as far as I know, except that it is located in the village of Hellaby. ( More here.) It is listed on various hotel and tourist websites. See http://www.england.travelmall.com/travelmall/hotel/Sheffield/Hellaby+Hall+Hotel or http://www.grandheritage.com/Hotels/European/England/Hellaby/hellabyindex.html or http://www.hotelbook.com/static/welcome_28818.html
    or the map at http://www.southyorks.org.uk/pta/8%20May%202003/Fig%20A1.4.pdf or http://www.hotelnet.co.uk/hotelnet/superbreak/scripts/Map.cfm?Postcode=S66%208SN&HotelID=9889&scale=15625 .
    It's included in a long list of haunted hotels in Britain: http://mindquest.net/paranormal/whiterabbit/england.html
  • There is another Hellaby Hall - the Anglican Church hall in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, named after Hilda Hellaby - see above. The Yukon News ( http://www.yukonweb.com/community/yukon-news/ or http://www.yukon-news.com ) mentions various events happening there.
  • Rose Hellaby House in Waitakere City near Auckland, New Zealand appears in various tourist info sites. See http://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/museums/WaiataruaRose.html . It boasts beautiful views. Rose donated the house to be used as a museum of the area's Maori & settler past. According to one site ( http://nz.com/guide/travel/beaches/Auckland/Piha.html ) Rose was known for her generous nature and her killer cocktails.
• BUSINESSES & FUNDS
  • Miss E L Hellaby Indigenous Grasslands Research Trust. Awards to individuals from this fund are cited in several CVs, and a few research projects cite a research grant from it. See http://www.lincoln.ac.nz/scholar/postmain.htm
  • The New Zealand Hellabies made their name in the meat packing business. These days Hellaby's Corned Beef seems to be a staple in Austral-Asia, e.g: http://www.samoa.co.uk/food&drink.html
    I found mention of the following companies:
  • Hellaby Holdings Limited. Found regularly in New Zealand Stock Exchange listings, share price listings, brokerage listings, and business news. The company doesn't seem to have their own webpage, but see http://www.globalregister.co.nz/company/hellaby.htm
  • Hellaby and Proctor Meat. New Zealand. (This site http://www.cyberspace.co.nz/cgi-bin/Mdns?hellaby.co.nz has no actual web page for them yet.
  • Hellaby King Country Limited. New Zealand.
  • Hellaby Shortland Limited. New Zealand.
  • R & W Hellaby Limited. New Zealand.
  • Hellaby Meats (SI) Limited. New Zealand.
  • Hellaby Samoa Limited. Samoa.
  • Hellaby Peach Products. New Zealand.
  • Wilson Hellaby Limited. New Zealand.
  • Wilson Hellaby Wholesale Meats. New Zealand.
• MISCELLANEOUS
  • Guestbook signatures. Sometimes an electronic "guestbook" is signed by a Hellaby. (You can sometimes get Hellaby e-mail addresses from them.)
  • These genealogy sites return (a little) useful information on Hellaby:
    http://www.ancestry.com . The World Tree hosted here sounds like a great idea, but doesn't contain any Hellabies yet. You're invited to submit your family tree, and the collected information is apparently free.
    http://www.familytreemaker.com/cgi-bin/iff . The World Family Tree here also invites you to submit your family tree, and then asks you to pay for the resulting CDs.
  • The following site compares Scandinavian, English and Norman names, including Hellaby: http://viking.no/e/france/personal-place-names.htm
  • Various genealogy sites list Hellaby but give no information.
  • If you do a web search on "genealogy" with your favourite search engine, you'll find loads of databases you could examine. But it would take a lot of time! I'd imagine the search engines must look at them when you do a search on your surname - or perhaps they're too voluminous.
• IRRELEVANT
  • Royston Hellaby supposedly from Nottingham, England, used to have a web page at http://members.xoom.com/Hellaby/ which was basically a note asking for Hellaby genealogical information. Several emails to him raised no reply. The page seems to have disappeared. I don't think this is a real person.
  • Hellaby Industrial Estate at Hellaby village. Quite a few industries have web pages listing this as their address.
  • Individual web pages with home or work addresses in Hellaby village or Hellaby Industrial Estate.
