Hello

"softly softly's" Reply #1 is good advice ... especially if you connect to this information provided at ancestry.com.

There are many records there relating to the convict Darby McAULIFFE -  (apparently he was convicted of "sheep stealing").

It may be a good idea to have your thread moved to the Australia board  ... contact a Moderator who will be able to assist you in doing that.

Thank you for sharing these links, UKgirl.   

I much enjoyed reading through the research findings of Professor Matthew Steggle ... indeed, some valuable "lessons" therein.

Hi Ashley

To answer your question re: deaths occurring at the Quarantine Barracks at Lyttelton (following release of immigrants from Camp Bay), then I think it's highly likely that that was where wee Walter died.

I'd be pretty sure that the following is the record of Walter's death.

NZ BDM - Deaths

1864 / 3618  -  ORMASTON* - Walter - aged 15 months

Date of Death (deduced from online Death record)  =   22 January 1864

[Unfortunately another record only gives "New Zealand" as death registration place - but you may be able to confirm "place" by looking at microfiche record coupled with "District Keys" info. -- available at ChCh Library.]

Added:   *  Surname as spelled on record.     The age at death is, you might say, very accurate.

Hello there,
Just some background. I am currently researching the Brothers' Pride that arrived in New Zealand on December 9th, 1863. More specifically I am trying to discover which of the passengers died during the quarantine period the passengers were subject to; from December 10th to December 24th, 1863. According to sources I have read, there were 4 people who passed away at the Camp Bay quarantine facility at Lyttelton Harbour near Lyttelton. I know of 2 of the 4. One is the 2 month old son of Milborough and David Hathaway. The other is 7 month old Walter MacKay, the son of Robert and Elizabeth MacKay.
The way I am doing this is by eliminating passengers who died at sea and those who died after 1863. So far I am about 70% through the passenger list. First focusing on the most likely (families with infants and children) before I will moving onto other passengers. Since quarantine ended on Dec 24th, any passengers who died in 1863 died during quarantine.

Many thanks,
Ashley

Just found the above from your earlier thread.

The last recorded death - in the (UK) "Deaths at Sea" register, appears to be the 2 year old child, John COLE, cause of death =  debility, on 9th ? (- looks like ) December 1863.     However that is not relevant, to this, your newest search.

yes we know that he was saying he was born abt 1869 in Yarmouth and i want to know what day what month what year more or less exactly as he could have told his wife anything and it has gone from there thanks lnr

.... but what makes you say "he could have told his wife anything" 

*   What exactly makes you think that HE WASN'T BORN YARMOUTH, NORFOLK in or about 1869 ??
