Hi,  Ive just started a family tree and are trying to find links to
John & Eliza Gregory who emigrated (immigrated?)  23 July 1874 on ship Miltiades with 2 children from "Gravesend"  England. 
(Childrens names George and Edith.

then in NZ other children born were:
Florence, 
Alice,
Albert
Alfred
Ashwin
Ashley
(birth dates unknown).

My question is: Who were John Gregory's parents names or siblings names?  where was he born or what area did the family come from (England somewhere I suppose).   all I know is that John & Eliza lived in Puni, near Auckland, New zealand.

Hi, if you are still looking for info on John Gregory's parents, They were originally from bicester in Oxfordshire (well father George at least). George b1820, was the last child of John (1783, ludgershall, buckinghamshire - 9 miles from Bicester) and Eleanor Timms 1783-1822. I'm a Descendant of George's elder brother John b1817 d1883. John 1783-1841 died in Banbury, around which time George's eldest two children, Harriet and Mary Anne were born, apparently then they moved to gloucestershire between 1842 and 1846 when son Emmanuel was born there.

I've put my dna on the family tree dna company, and sure hope other Gregory descendants will do the same, so we can confirm the family tree.
