Immigration to New Zealand
Has any person 'discovered' that their Irish ancestor first travelled to NZ (...because of Gold rush on West Coast of Sth Island, in particularin the location: Hokitika); then went across to Victoria or NSW after the gold rush/es in NZ, turned out to be a 'fizzer' compared to those rushes in Victoria and NSW?
I found a Thomas Dwyer who travelled from Tipperary to NZ in abt 1864-5 [vessel name unknown]; then across to Melbourne (Hobson's Bay), Victoria on the ship, Albion arriving on 25th May 1866.
Has anyone got any tips for srchng NZ immigration data collections?
Regard, Bryan Dwyer
