McCambridges of Timaru
« on: Tuesday 27 January 26 15:21 GMT (UK) »
Hello everbody,

I've been researching my family history over here in Ireland, and i have found that one of our ancestors (Alfred Patrick McCambridge) moved to Timaru, Canterbury in the early 1900s. I don't really know where to look for more information, so any advice on where i should start?

P.S. i have some old letters and plenty of photos from Timaru, so if there is any NZ McCambridges reading this just DM me and i'll send you some scans.

Thanks a million


Conn

Steerage to Timaru in 1909. Per “Tongariro”

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01u6k/


I’ve linked one, but there is at least one other passenger manifest at family search relating to this voyage

Here it is arriving. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/THD19091231.2.14?end_date=05-01-1910&items_per_page=10&query=Tongariro+&snippet=true&start_date=29-12-1909

You will be able to see if it was a nice summers day or not.
