[Tiffaney]

Looking for more details on William & Mary SEFTON (nee FINLAY) who arrived from Down in New Zealand 1874.  Belive Mary was born in Belfast Ireland.
They married in Parish of Tullyshire, Civil District Banbridge, County Down, Ireland in 1866.

Their children were:
Valentine b: 1866
Jane b: 17 Mar 1868
Sarah b: 1870
Ester b: 15 July 1874 onboard boat.
In NZ :

Is anyone connected with these families or know of children of the  above plse.

thankyou,
Tiffaney.

Hi Tiffaney
Are there specific gaps, marriages, deaths etc you are after?

School record for Esther shows they were in Tuakau 1880 till she left school 1884

Roberts school record says left the Tuakau district 1892
