Echoing Minniehaha's gratitude to PapersPast  :)

So happy to at last have an extension of dates to my almost-favourite 'rag' - "Evening Post".   ;D
Thanks for the update Minnie.

Hi Lu
 .....  Of course, if you can find a link between these Allens and Fred Allen who played rugby for the All Blacks in the 1940s/1950s (or steer me in the direction to look) that would answer a different question we have  ;D

Hi again Kat

  Yes, may be able to help sort this,  but would like for you to supply details firstly for your George ALLEN (later apparently known as "George Josiah ALLEN").

- George, born Sydney ?? ... is that correct ?

- Confirmation of George's father's name
[Noting that NZ Marriage cert. copy, shows father as "Jos. " - which could represent either "Joseph or Josiah" ??  ]

- Father's birthplace ?

Question:    Why do you think there may be a link to New Zealand's "Fred ALLEN" (akaSir Frederick Richard ALLEN")  ?

Hi Jan ... hadn't read your last post before I added parents death info.

But yes, the details supplied earlier by Ian have already given you what you seek.   ;)

"Athenic"  - London to  Wellington NZ - 1908

Looks like "Athenic" made 3 voyages to NZ during 1908 - arriving early January / mid-May / early October.

Suspect NEW family may have arrived October ?? (v. large number of immigrants on that trip.)  Unfortunately dates and even ship's name, missing from headings of this passenger list - so it's a matter of scrolling through the many pages of same at FamilySearch for additional info.   
   TIP :   Search on " T. NEW  - 1908 " to bring up passenger list :
In the later pages of some of these passenger lists, there may be details of "passage monies paid / or if persons had been sponsored by relatives or friends already resident in the Colony, details of sponsor" :
(Sorry just don't have time at present to check further for you.   )   

You may like to also try our PapersPast site - although I couldn't immediately see any passengers names in "Athenic" voyage(s) reports.    www.paperspast.natlib.govt.nz

  Have you been able to find any migration records for Thomas GW New and his wife Sarah Headford?

Sarah Headford was TGW New's mother, not wife.
