Hi Laurence

Did John SARAH arrive alone (or with family) ?

Which New Zealand port did the "Ringarooma" arrive at in 1882 ?

  .... from the NZ Marriage Index  :

John SARAH
Minnie RATGIEN
Year - 1886    (Folio # 0025)


Might this be "your" John marrying ?   (He would have been about 55 years of age in 1886)    ???

 ----   Probate record at Archives NZ (Auckland office) :

SARAH - John, of Hakaru, farmer - 1930

("Hakaru" is also in Northland).

Mmmm ... 1930 - (and you've said your John was born 1831) ??
