The family name is Guttery and they settled in Wairoa. The person we are looking for is Harry, now we know when he died etc, but its his birth that is a mystery. He was born (supposedly) 1883 June of that year but......... the family left UK via Glasgow Dec 1882 on the steamer Wellington and arrived  13 Mar 1883.  I suspect that his mother was expecting him before she left the UK as I cant find a UK birth for him for around that time and there is nothing in the Scottish records either for a birth, so he could have been born on route but don't know how to find that out.
this is the information that my Uncle gave me,  people on here have already  found information about the family that we know already, but its Harry's birth that is the mystery at the mo
I thought that I would try and do some digging of my own, thanks to this web site my Unlce now has another contact here in NZ and it seems another branch of the family :)
Thanks
