I am also thinking 2 years and not 2 months for Isabella.

I tried your link but it did not work Jazzie.

They might have the passenger list at the library so can check there if you like for the arrival into Lyttelton

Newbe

I updated the link. I had "outstuff" instead of "ourstuff" - should work now

Jazzie, just had a thought ...... the death for James Bannister Simpson at Purewa, you could always post a NZ Herald lookup for the notice or you could email the National Library.


Cheers

Hi Jazzie,

William and Rachel's son James Bannister SIMPSON died 12/11/1954
So I will go hunt a death notice out for him.

He was cremated so am going down to the crematioium gardens to take a photo of the plaque and then I will be able to see if any other names are on it.
