Hi Althea

Many thanks for the web sites.  I will check them out. I am trying to find out where this family went to after they arrived in Nelson.  Their son James Jnr ( you missed his name out) was my Great-Great Grandfather.  The only information I have is from his marriage in 1864 in Nelson to Sarah Kearns. They settled in Takaka.

Sorry to be so confusing!
The James Jnr is my Great Great Grandfather.  He died in 1893 and is buried at the Hamama cemetery in Takaka.
He married Sarah Jane Kearns in Nelson in 1865 and settled in Takaka.  They had 10 children.  Willian James is one of their children. 
I have checked the paper past for Nelson and have all the births of their children.
The information I am trying to find is about his parents James & Elizabeth Reilly and his 4 brothers and 1 sister.  I have checked at Isle Park in Nelson to no avail.  Where did they go to?  I found James 21 years after he arrived in NZ.   when he got married in 1865.
