Hi Newbe_nz
There were three George Thomas' here in NZ. George the 1st came here in 1855, I think that it was, and married Alice. Their son George, the 2nd named his son George, hence the third. George the 3rd is dead.
I have a lot more on the family in my other computer with the photos of the six sons and six daughters and George 1st grave.
George came here with his brother John who they think went to Nelson.
Some of the information that I have is a bit sensitive so I won't put into the public domain.
