Thank you Ian, much appreciated. He may well have been a seaman that would make sense. Can you tell their full address in 1855? I'd be interested to try to find it on a map.
Many thanks

Europe / Carl Frederik August (Charles) Thomsen
« on: Sunday 29 June 25 16:39 BST (UK)  »
According to his New Zealand naturalisation documentation Carl Thomsen settled here from Augustenborg, Denmark in around 1860. In New Zealand he became known as Charles Thomson, he married Margaret Young, raised 10 children and worked as a gold miner.
I am trying to find when he left Europe and ideally which ship he travelled on, I've not been successful in finding him in shipping records, its possible he came to NZ via Australia. He was born in April 1843 to Thomas Thomsen and Catharina Soegaard. Can anyone find him on the
Hamburg passenger lists?
Many thanks in Advance,
Wendy.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Morgan Davis( Davies)

Hi, I might be able to help as we are related to the family listed above in the 1851 census (Morgan and Margaret). We descend from David who settled in Victoria Australia along with two of his brothers. Their sister Charlotte settled in America. David's son Owen Vivien Davies became a dentist and settled in Dunedin NZ. David's brother Morgan did marry in New Zealand, our records say this was 1872 though, he married Elizabeth Joseph in Hokitika. They then though moved to Victoria. It is possible some of their children settled back in NZlike their cousins. Does any of this connect to the names you have?
