Two columns of names under Granity, including dozens with occ. "miner", but lists only 1 Murphy -
"Murphy J miner"

** - not sure what this means given dozens of miners listed?

Thanks Lucy2, I believe the gent you located departing San Francisco is probably he as the data fits. The limited data I have originated from a member of his surviving immediate family.
I found the Family Search NZ Passenger Lists confusing and not at all user friendly.
Thanks to all for your collective efforts.

Hi

Yes, agree, ... after many, many, years of using, I still find FamilySearch passenger lists a "nightmare" to search. 

Re:  The Mr H. MURPHY per the "Tahiti" 1929 ... I did a search of PapersPast (shipping columns) hoping I might find him arriving at Wellington and trans-shipping to the West Coast ports shortly afterwards.  Alas, nothing to be had.

I am satisfied the gent you located is he. Thank you once again.
