New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Ships to NZ 1838

Thank you all so much for your help. He is buried  at Mangakahia RD,near Kaikohe. Will get some closer family to go and check out the gravesite for more information.
I have his father as James Bruce who marrried Agnes Henderson.on the 24th Jan 1806 at Leith South parish Scotland. I have found 6 other siblings, William, Jane Agnes,Walter and Henry.
I will try and get a copy of his marriage and death certificates.

I really appreciate all the help given. It is a bit daunting starting this but so adddictive too.

He died on the the 28th July 1895. That is the information I have got from the LDS. Have only just started on this so have no death or marriage certificates yet.

Hi Kiwibren

Yes, they got married in Kaikohe, Northland so he probably landed in Auckland.

Thanks everyone. And yes they were married on 21 Nov. I am presuming that Robert came out alone, but have no proof. I think it would have been too early for his parents to have come out with him as a child as they had 6 children that I know of.

Would there have been any ships to NZ around 1838. My  4x great grandfather Robert Bruce was born in Canongate, Scotland around 1815 and married a NZ Maori woman in 1838. So he must have sailed over here prior to his marriage. Can anyone help regards ships  that came here around that time.

Hi Dianne

I am trying to start some research on Robert Bruce who came to NZ approx 1838  as well. His parents were Agnes Henderson and James Bruce. Robert would be the sister of Agnes that  you are mentioning. Have you had any luck finding out which ships came to NZ around 1838.

Hi Joy

Thank you for your time and efforts...............Where does Thomas come into it? We have not yet found a Thomas anywhere in our searching. It seems you are very advanced with your genealogy.
I find it quite frustrating trying to find the correct places to search.

Many thanks
Charlie

Hi Kirsty

I got the information from the LDS records. That is the only place I have seen reference to their names. I presume  Ann is a shortened version of Agnes.
