I have all the details about John Snr's record and shipping to Tasmania on "Georgiana". Have his marriage to Ann Nolan, but had no idea he came to New Zealand, as did his son John. Was sent all family details from a source in Tasmania. My problem now is trying to find shipping records to prove exactly when John Jnr  arrived in New Zealand. My family trees are not on-line. My email is (email address removed) Not too sure if it is supposed to be disclosed on this site, so see what happens.

John Windsor is also part of my family. His son, also John, was a meat preserver who I believe came to New Zealand to work for the New Zealand Meat Preserving Company, established in Woodlands, Invercargill area about 1869. I cannot prove this, as still trying to find information. He became the partner of Isabella Falconer nee Harrow. Isabella and her husband John Falconer and a young son James came to New Zealand  from Aberdeen Scotland before 1870. He was a tinsmith and possibly also worked for the Meat Preserving Company. Again I can find no information except that John and Isabella Falconer had a daughter born 1870 at Woodlands. I do not know the circumstances, but Isabella Falconer and John Windsor moved to Wellington New Zealand, then to Wanganui New Zealand,  They were the parents of my Grandmother Florence Windsor. The two children of Isabella and John Falconer, became part of the Windsor family. Isabella and John Windsor are buried in Karori cemetery, Wellington New Zealand
