Charles Leonard Leaman Hankins - Parents

[Fran Welch]

I am A grand daughter of Ida Muriel Leaman and trying to trace back but get stuck after her parents Henry David Leaman and Maria Jane Leaman. Feel they must have emigrated to New Zealand but not sure where to look for these records and also do not know Maria Janes  maiden name . Maybe Macpherson as my Mum often said that she was a decendant of Macphersons.

Hello Fran

... welcome to RootsChat.   

A spelling error it would seem ... but very possibly this is the (NZ) marriage ?

Maria Jane McPHERSON -- Henry LEMON  -- year 1874

Hi Fran

... this is a possibility for Henry David LEAMAN's arrival in NZ.

Immigration :   Per ship "Blue Jacket" to Canterbury.

Arrived :  30 August 1867

David LEMMON - aged 22 years - Farm Labourer - ex Down*  [ poss. *Co. Down, Ireland  ]

[Aged 22 in 1867 gives a birth year of circa 1845.   Henry David LEAMAN appears to have been born c. 1844 ... so a good match in the scheme of things. ]

Fran ... and this a possibility for Maria's arrival.

Immigration to Otago :

Per ship "Cospatrick"  - arrived Otago - 6 July 1873

Maria McPHERSON - aged 22* - occupation: Cook    [* born c. 1851 ]
ex Surrey, England.

[Note:  a good match for Maria Jane LEAMAN - 76 - d. 1927  [bc 1851 ] ]

My neighbour asked me to search for her biological father which from what we have read here. Is this person. Would you be interested in making contact?

This man was quite a character. She knew she had 2 older sisters and a younger brother but it seems there was another child older
