Hi Does anybody have a list of passenger of people leaving Nelson New Zealand in 1856.
I`m looking for a Sarah Stephen she left Nelson after her husband died in 1855 so it would 1856 when she left she would probably be about 44 years old.
I can find quite a few list but all seem to be going to Nelson not departing.

Hi Ian
Is the surname of this lady STEPHENS (rather than STEPHEN - as per your previous enquiry concerning Samuel STEPHENS. ?? :)
Unfortunately there is little available information for those departing, other than - as already mentioned - lists you might find published in old NZ newspapers, and these certainly would cover only a small portion of departures.
[And it appears that records for passengers entering UK, are only available from c. 1878. Do check though, I may be wrong on that score.]
Have found nothing specific for a "Sarah STEPHENS" as yet.
