Hi,
after dong some digging myself about where my ancestors came from i found out that my great grandfather (number unkown sorry) is the James Climo that you mention. He came to NZ in 1841 as a 20 year old with his wife and i have a clipping from a local newspaper from when he died. While he was here he did some pretty cool stuff including the NZ Maori wars were he was wounded fighting, and his first born, Elizabeth Catherine Climo was the first born european baby in what i now New Plymouth (taranaki) and at some point was nursed by the governor general William Hobson. The article mentions only one child who married George Pope and that line follows directly to my deceased grandmother.
If at all possible i would like to trace further into the Climo tree and any info would be great.
