COMER Verney, born 4 October 1882, Huranui, Thames, NZ, son of George Comer, miner,

The HURANUI will be a transcript error at the time and will be KURANUI, Tararu, fitting in with other residence references.

So the family were defintely here by October 1882, don't rule out the possibility they went home and back again!! I have one set of rellies that did in the space of two years

The hotel ref is interesting in 1883, hotel licensing information has the "official" licensee as Robert Comer..so did brother George, step in for awhile at the Shotover Hotel.

Bye

According to the Auckland City Library there was a George Comer arrived in Auckland in Jan 1880, cant find any other info. The Comers that arrived in 1884 on the Doric are not the Comers that I have a connection with.

[Janette]

I am researching George Comer and Mary Ann Rumsom Comer who came to NZ with their 3 eldest children in 1884 on the Doric from Portsmouth Eng. George was a miner and went to Thames to work for his brother Robert. Any info on George and his family would be appreciated.

Hi,are you now saying  that the above people are not the family you are looking for?

Cheers Janette
