Hi Newbie - I have Christopher Thompsons Children as

George b 1860 - died 1945 - married Harriet Searle
Mary Jane Thompson b 1863 - died 1942 - married George Whiting
Alexander Thompson b 1864 - died 1925 - married my Nanas mother Phoebe Sparkes/Kellor
Mary that you have
Amelia that you have
Anne Elizabeth b 1869 died 1953 - married John Grooby
Louisa you have
No name born 1871 - assuming died at birth
You have the rest
There is another in doubt shows in bdm nz un-named as b 1857 - died 1896 with Christopher and Mary Ann as parents - she would have been young but given their history not impossible.
If you have access to Ancestry - my full tree is on there

sorry, thought I had but document type wrong - here it is

Henry does not show on the passenger list for the Golconda 1859.  His statement to the inquest in Nelson says he was a crewman

not sure - have tried to follow this Henry before and think I found him somewhere else - will have to look into again

Thanks you

needing help tracing this young man.  In 1833 births in Newquay were not recorded so the first trace of him would be in the 1841 census, but can't find him there either.
What I do know is that he arrived in Nelson New Zealand in 1895 as a seaman on the settlement ship Golconda.  I have been unable to trace a crewlist for that ship for that year.
Henry jumped ship in Nelson and married a young lady who travelled on that voyage. Henry died in Nelson.
His marriage certificate shows Newquay but his death certificate says Truro.  Stated his father was Henry and Mother named as Mary.
So my Henry should show in 1841 and 1851 census then disappear.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  There could also be doubt about his age so I have been scouring the 1830 to 1840 Henry's still to no avail.  I am picking the religion would have been Wesleyan.  Thank you everyone.  Have attached copies of marriage and death certs
