my great grandfarher's name was Charles Henry Carroll  i have been told the ancestor that traveld from

Ireland to new zeland dropped the O that would have been infront of the name

Rosemary:

Unfortunately, you do not have enough information for us to try to search and find info on your family. In the 19th century, Carroll was a very common surname found in all counties. Looks like the ancestor you are looking for was born pre-1840 and we would need to know his name and likely his parents names to see if a baptismal record was available.

Have you considered DNA testing?
