Thanks for your messages. Wow, I hadn't logged in to this for a very long time as the 'Bertha' story is now complete for me.
The Thomas Tandy I had been seeking via this thread was Bertha's son (and I remain grateful for the help of the reseachers in here), for whom I now have a birth certificate stating he was born in 1850 in New Zealand. I also have the marriage certificate for Bertha and Thomas Tandy (which indicates a birth year of 1819 for Thomas Snr). The information contained in these certificates and a few publications about all of the people who were in and around Otago at the time (and which specifically mention Thomas Snr), clearly indicates that Bertha's husband Thomas Tandy is a different Thomas from the one you have in your tree.
Thank you for your interest and I'm pleased this thread has solved some of the Bertha mystery for you also.
Cheers
