Thanks Wiggy and Janette,


What port would the ship have left from then?

Spades

Spades, I am only going by when I did the shipping transcriptions, but either Glasgow or Southampton ....  right that is my 2 cents worth, some one else can come up with the correct answer

[Janette]

It would have been a port  on the Clyde,I don't think the sailing ships went up as far as Glasgow

[spades]

I wonder if the comment, 'left Cumray on the Clyde' refers to the vessel passing the headland of the island on her way out of the bay. I think I've read such comments on previous accounts.

See, I was only going by what I knew.  Along came the Chief and the itsy bitsy kitty shrinks away

[Janette]

Oh don't be like that Kitty,do come back,
once steam came into being the ships would have gone further up the Clyde to Glasgow
Here Kitty,Kitty,Kitty

Can't see him in any of the rolls ........... but there is a John Lichfield NEWMAN buried in the New Plymouth Cemetery.  

Not much to go on, but says he is a settler.  Could it be him?

... while I've been reading, thought the name sounded rather familiar ... distantly related on my husband's tree ... just went and checked the 'Hamblyn Family History' book Plymouth to New Plymouth, Fitzroy district 1841 - 1976.... another generation, but obviously the Lichfield is  continuing middle name on the male line, so a descendant of the same name . The connection as I say is distant, husband's grandad's sister married a Wm Lichfield Newman...

Typical of a man
