Hi,

I know you want shipping records, but have come across the different spelling of Jeffery.  I have found a school record which mentions Robert B Jeffrey

Jane JEFFERY, a daughter of James and Hannah married a William ANDREW from the Illogan area.

They came to NZ via Ballarat in early 1870s.

GailS, a RC member is descended from them, and may have info about the other JEFFERYs.

They had a son John Blight ANDREW, who married two of my g-grandmothers sisters.

Must be something in the water I have just made contact with a lady (through RC) through my ALLINGHAM line, turns out it's a small world as she knows my sister from many moons ago.........

I do have some JEFFERY info but you will have to forgive me as it will take a while to get..........we shifted about 6 months ago and got a new computer so I put my info on a stick...........and when I plugged it into my computer there was nothing there  ..........but all is not lost..........I also put it on some disks...............and if that turns to custard I have a rellie who I got the info off in the first place.......

From my Family Tree (compiled a long time ago, not by me and has bits missing, and no doubt some incorrect info) (but a good place to start) Jane JEFFERY born to James and Hannah Blight, and Hannah's father being John. I know Janes parents lived in Illogan........possibly have access to some photos.........

Amazing
Firstly:  in all the information I have on my ggrandparents there has never been a John in the family but it is hard to imagine 2 Robert B Jefferys in the same place at the same time! or is it ?
May be John belongs to Robert and Harriet Jeffery I still have to figure out where he belongs if at all.
The family name is Blight my GGgrandmothers maiden name but my grandfather never used it nor carried it on.
I have some documents that do spell the name the Jeffrey and others
There are so many more documents available now than there were when I originally did this. I thank you for all your help.

I dont know when Robert came to NZ but he married in 1897
So Ian C that would make us related also all be it distantly


kind regards LynM

Hi Gail.
 Jane Blight JEFFERY is my GGrandfathers elder sister. I have Steven as her father and Mary as her mother but  these are not confirmed by document. 
No rush with the info I can wait.
 
I am amazed Thanks Lyn
