I think it must be my man .I am not up on the geography of NZ , Is Otahuhu where they would of settled and would it be near to where they landed when they arrived ?
Hi Magic
No probs with the questions ... ask anything you wish.

Hopefully our BDM site will be up and working again shortly and we can add to / confirm, some of the info given so far.
The ship "FAMENOTH" (rather than "Famenorth"), arrived in Auckland NZ on 15 January 1883 (having departed UK on 25 September 1882).
I can't though, find a published passenger list ... and there's only brief mention of the arrival in newspapers.
Yes, the places "Otahuhu" and "Pukekohe" are in the Auckland region.
KHP may be able to help with some "history" for Pukehohe ??
