Hi Trenance,

I found this on "Paperspast" which may be the first time Thomas came to NZ.

I also see this on Ancestry which seems to tie in.

Hi,  thanks very much to everyone for your time and effort. 
I think I've got enough to be going on with for now!! 
I'd already found a marriage in Truro thanks, didn't think there could be too many Thomas Hoyte Matthews around!
It'd be interesting to know what made them go to NZ from Newquay, Cornwall (better surf?)

Fabulous coastline and countryside where we live in UK but what is appealing about NZ is only 4 million population.  Hope to be there Nov next year.

Thanks again.

Hi, I'm at work!!
He was my grt grandad's older brother (about 20yrs age difference). They originate from Newquay Cornwall UK where I grew up. My family are still there but I live 120 miles away now.
Yes, we did get to NZ last Nov/Dec it was AWESOME but didn't manage to meet up with Roger in Wellington.

I'd love to hear about your side of the family. Roger sent me about his.  Angie
