Hi Robert


My Brown connection is a John Johnson Brown who was born in Leeds Yorkshire he was born about 1839,he was working aboard ship when they arrived in Port Chalmers and jumped ship, about 1861, he lived in the Otago area finally settling in Goodwood, he married Mary McGuire born Fremanagh in 1840 in 1863 and they raised 10 children. I don't know if any of John's siblings ever came to NZ. Sorry but at this time it does not look as if we have a connection, but thanks for contacting me.

Hi There
Ivy Clayton 1877 - Mother to Philip Hastie Thomas Clayton


Also... James Henry Clayton 1851 - 1929 Married Emma Amelia Hester... I would like to know who Emma Hester was descended from...

I ask these questions on behalf of My Son who is grandson to Judith Kay Clayton (Starke) Te Puke, New Zealand,  who would be the Great granddaughter of James Henry Clayton 1851 - 1929 who apparently arrived in NZ from England in the early 1870s (What was the name of the sailing ship?)

Thanks! Steve Pickering - HBC NZ

RE: GIBB - Christchurch & Hastings
Hi there - just discovered this site - and don't know if this message is still valid.
My husband's mother is a Gibb from Chch - Denise Mary. (Gotta wrack my brains here). She has a sister, Audrey, and a brother, Terry, who died some years ago from Alzheimers (he was very young to have such a horrible disease).
There is also a branch of the family in Hastings, which we visited a couple of times.
I'm in the process of getting Mum to write it all down - names, dates etc., but it's possible we are chasing the same Gibb family.
There was also Uncle Arthur - he lived in Bulls (so did we for a while) and has family around Martin.
If it's the same track, I'll give you more info when it comes to hand.

Hello Jericho

my step great grandfather was Gabriel John McCarty (b 1884, in Randwick, NSW, Australia; died 1962 in Hastings, NZ)... do you have any McCarty family members?
