Thank you so much, that was quick!!! I think you're right about the Strand, after going through more of my Dad's documents (Samuel Gordon Steen, son of Samuel Lambert Steen), Dad has written a few things down about the family and one is that Samuel Lambert was born 7 Rock Buildings, Strand, Londonderry... so one more thing acquired to the knowledge bank

Thanks again, anything else you have or pointers appreciated

Hello Steen Family! I've just found you... I'm one of the New Zealand Steens... I am a grand daughter of Samuel Lamberton Steen, b 01 Dec 1909 Londonderry, d 25 Oct 1991 Auckland... He came out on Corinthic arriving Auckland 25 August 1926 (ex Southampton I think)... (his parents being Thomas Steen b 05 Nov 1879 Ture d 23 May 1951 & Violet Agnes Steen nee Burns b 25 Oct 1886 d 19 Sep 1947).

On Grandpa's birth certificate (Samuel Lamberton Steen) of which we have the original, it shows place of birth as 7 Rock Buildings, then there's a word I can't read - an area of Londonderry maybe? looks like Drama... I have attached a copy of the birth certificate... anyone know...?

Another thing my Dad (Sameul Gordon Steen, known as Gordon - b 19 March 1930 Cambridge Nursing Home, Hamilton Road, Cambridge, d 06 Oct 2015 North Shore Hospital, Milford, Auckland) told us was this branch of the Steen family lived at some stage both in Nicholson Place and Nicholson Square in Londonderry...

Thanks to others of this branch for details of siblings of Samuel Lamberton - that's filled in a few gaps. One of the siblings we had down as Nancy or Phyllis - but I've read somewhere she may be Annie Douglas? also was an Eileen which I haven't found anything on... and a John Wiley which I've got noted b 1916 d 1918 (so an infant at death)

We also have that same photo of this branch of Steens arriving in Auckland on 25 August 1926 on the Corinthic...

Would love any more info anyone has on this branch of the family, or links...

Thanks alot
