John Laurie who died on 25th June 1873

[AmandaP]

Hello,

I am searching for descendants of my GGGG Grandfather John Laurie who lived in Australia in the early 1800's, later moving to New Zealand and then died in Weymouth on 25th June 1873 aged 89.  I think some of his children might have moved to New Zealand too?  I am looking for more information on this family.

Amanda,
Sydney, Australia

Hi Carolyn,

Apologies for the delay in my reply, I have only stumbled across this thread again from searching for something specific to John Laurie in Google. I do not know why I have not received notifications for this thread along the way. I would love to connect. Coincidentally, I met and had brunch with some of Astley’s descendants yesterday. I am descended from John Jnr’s sister Elizabeth, our branch remained in Australia.

Hi Amanda, great to hear from you, very exciting!  What's the best way to get in contact with you - are we allowed to share our email addresses or phone number on this site?

Were you visiting to NZ to meet some of Astley's' descenants or are some living in australia?
