Hi China,

Thanks for your reply. Very fascinating the whole thing. Yes the family arrived in NZ and settled in Ramarama just south of Auckland. In 1863? their house got wrecked and looted during skirmishes during the Maori wars. In fact an army post was set up at Kerr's farm in Ramarama. ( I have found a publication about this period and it mentions the Kerr's farm)

I will get you a scan of the ticket. My father Alan and his brother John (that you messaged) built a 50' Motor Launch named "Shalimar II" in 1983 after the Shalimar that William and family came out on.

Regards,

Graeme

Hi China,

Thanks for your reply. Walter had 2 sons, Norman and Horace. Norman died quite young, and Horace is my Grandfather. He had 2 sons, Alan and John. Alan is my father. I have 2 brothers and sisters and John had 4 daughters and pretty much all live in NZ. I have a copy of the original ticket that William Kerr and family came out to NZ on the ship ‘Shalimar’ in 1859.

Are you on the Jubb side? Are you in the UK?

Regards,

Graeme

Hi,

I am one of the decendents of William Kerr who came out on the Shalimar in 1859. Is there further parts of the puzzle you need to solve?

Regards,

Graeme Kerr
