WOODWARD sisters arrival about 1857
« on: Tuesday 23 June 26 02:34 BST (UK) »
Trying to find out which ship Harriet and Maria WOODWARD arrived in Wellington on. Their older half brothers Jonas and Samuel WOODWARD were already in Wellington, Samuel arriving in 1840 on Duke of Roxburgh and Jonas the following year on the Clifton.

Both girls weres born in London Harriet in 1843 and Maria in 1846.

Harriet married Thomas George William RICHARDSON in 1874 and died in Whanganui on 4 Apr 1883. According to death cert she had been in NZ for 26 years so arrival about 1857.

Maria never married and died in Wellington on 9 May 1882. According to her death cert she had been in NZ for 25 years so arrival about 1857.

Hoping someone can assist.

Thanks
Ian C

Thanks jonwarrn, that looks to be them.

I had looked on Paperspast but must have used the wrong search criteria.
