1841 / 1851 Census

Can anyone help please...........

Henry Craill was born on Feb 1832 but arrived in New Zealand in 1853............. Can we find him on the census or perhaps his parents or siblings if any?

I thought it was their son Robert Craill who went to NZ, likewise I would like to know more on Henry Craill's ancestry.

Hi Greg and welcome to Rootschat  :),
I've had a look for Henry and Robert on the 1841 Census and cannot find them :-\
Do you have any further info which may help locate them. For instance can I clarify from the original post - was it Robert who was born circa Feb 1832 at Ballachulish? And did Robert travel alone to NZ or with family and was the year of travel 1853?
Looby :)

Hi, As far as I know Robert travelled by himself to NZ. Will try to check dates. He was possibly enrolled in the coast guard in scotland/england. But at the time my late father was checking that the coastguard were relocating and all records were unavailable.

There was a "story" (unconfirmed) that 2 Craill brothers went from UK via south africa and 1 of them stayed in africa. But this may be unrelated.

There was evidently a Robert Craill that was one of the early students at the Bible Institute of South Africa (1927-1928), incidentally, referencing the above mention of Craills in South Africa.  https://www.bisa-past-students.org.za/index.php/component/content/article/2-uncategorised/15-year-of-1927?Itemid=101
