right you are. Papers Past is where i found the info, i had a death cert for their youngest child buried with them and it said three months in NZ, so i went back thru Papers Past to find it. It was the only record i could find for Tweedy, and a month either side of August. I'll have to keep posting messages everywhere and hope someone comes across the actual list one day!

No luck at the Hocken, some paying passenger lists, but oo early for mine. However worth the visit, many other resources there, found two of the children in school records and now i know what they have i can compile questions to look up when i go back again.

Hi Elizabeth, just a word of warning, the majority of the grave sites at the Southern Cemetery are in a state of disrepair and unless there is someone there to guide you it is hard to find the plot numbers, many of the stones are missing too. I searched last year for my gg grandparents and couldn't find.
I am heading to Dne tomorrow if you would like me to call in and look for you? It is a long days travel if there is nothing to find at the end.
Regards, Annie.

oh wow thanks mackiwi. The family is 'Tweedy' (or Tweedie), looking for John & Eleanor (ellen) and 4 or 6 children. They were Irish, the ship left London May 1877, arrived Port Chalmers August 1877. My fingers are crossed.

Hi alamar
i have looked at the library catalogues and looks might it just be luck if it were there, however, may have to plan a trip down and see!
I have posted to a couple of message boards this evening, for Otago so maybe NZSG are watching. I'm ever hopeful. ;)

Hi and thanks, yes i have had a look there but nothing seems to match the names, and no records before 1890.
I have also paid for NZ archives to search but nothing there either. Am really stuck now! Any ideas?
