Thanks Goggy & Helen. Helen, many thanks for contacting that GR member, fingers crossed
Well, as I said, I had no intention of making this a Rootschat challenge, but the lure of the chase proved too much for me & I was off rummaging through the internet  This is what I've found;
IGI - Samuel Wallop bap. 25/6/1815, Chippenham, Wilts. S/o James & Sophia. Possibly her father baptised as an 8 year old? Married (1) Sarah Broom 5/5/1834 Castle Combe.
1851 at Pig Hill Castle Combe HO107/1836/53/12
Samuel Wallop 42 tailor & drappers appren. born Castle Combe
Susanna 42 born Bath
Mary 15 born Castle Combe
Hannah 13 ditto
Eliza Ann 10 ditto
1861 - still at Pig Hill (forgot ref)
Samuel tailor & collector of taxes
Susanna
Eliza Ann 18 unm pupil teacher
I found Hannah in 1861 by putting in her details but no surname and found,
1861 - Brightling Sussex (forgot ref again ) Brightling St, School House
William Briely 23 school master born Bath Somerset
Hannah Briely 23 school mistress born Castle Combe
Marriage found courtesy of Allan on the Wiltshire board,
September quarter 1860, BREYLEY, Chippenham (5a 69)
Went back to 1851 HO107/1836/51/9 Castle Combe
John Breley 48 police officer born Devon
Catherine 48
William Breley 13 born Bath Somerset
Elizabeth 11 ditto
So, if Hannah went to NZ it was in the name of BRELEY and after census night (7/4/1861) but before census night 2/4/1871 as I can't find them there 'nor in 1881.
I've tried a few sites for NZ immigrants but they're normally indexed ship by ship so quite a task!
Any brilliant ideas warmly welcomed
Jane

Hi
Found Hannah age 3 in Bath in 1841 with Susanna Ashley 30 Dressmaker (full details over on Wiltshire board)
Also
Death Sarah Wallop Mar qtr 1841 Chippenham
Marriage Samuel Wallop with Susanna Ashley on same page Sep qtr Bath 1841
No sign of Samuel in 41 or William Breyley (various spellings) are they hiding somewhere together  .
Don't see how this helps with your quest but difficult to stop looking

Did find a Thomas Breyley who emigrated in 1872 - 18 years old aboard the SS Wyoming - however that was bound for New York.
Wondering how many different versions of spelling Breyley, Brieley, etc there are !

I have had a look on FreeBMD and there is only one birth of a Hannah Wallop from Sept 1837 when records began to December 1839.
Hannah Wallop
Chippenham
8/284
March 1838
I would be happy to say this was her, as Castle Combe comes within the Chippenham area. However, I should point out that she could have been born before registration, earlier in 1837.
But it is not the most common name in the world.
Regards
Louise

Hello,
Alcrighton suggested that I have a look at this puzzle as I respond to enquiries on the ‘Emigrants to New Zealand’ board.
I’ve looked through the Passengers to NZ Ports via Melbourne AUS fiche series, and I’ve found a William BRELEY aged 29 arrived Otago in 1861, and William BYERLEY aged 21 arrived Otago in 1863, but both were single.
I cannot find any Hannah under any spelling variant of the surname.
Hundreds of immigrant ships passed though the port of Melbourne and were required to submit a list of their passengers which have since been compiled by the NZ Society of Genealogists, but hundreds of others made direct passages to a New Zealand port, with lists of passengers published in the local newspapers.
After about 1860, in Otago anyway, complete passenger lists weren’t published in the newspapers because of the upsurge in emigration following the discovery of gold. Even before that, often only paying (Unassisted) passengers’ names were published, with Assisted passengers (e.g. those whose passage were sponsored by the Government) mentioned only as a total number.
I suspect the BRELEY’s may have been in that group.
I've found that hunting through on-line passenger lists, usually gleaned from contemporary newspapers, is wasteful of time because they are only indexed by ship or port of arrival, and many ships passenger lists were never published, with the only published record being the arrival of the ship.
Regarding the puzzle, my suggestion is to investigate the provenance of the sampler. Ask The Village Museum at Castle Combe when the sampler was discovered, and on what rubbish dump! I wouldn’t travel far to throw property away, so it’s likely the search starts in the town where the sampler was discovered. If The Village Museum still has contact with the discoverer, can they provide any more details?
Another suggestion is to write a detailed letter with a photo of the sampler to the NZ Society of Genealogists http://www.genealogy.org.nz/ for inclusion in their journal The New Zealand Genealogist to see if any descendants recognize either the names or the sampler.
Regards, riley

Hi Jane
I've had a thorough search for William and Hannah in 1881 but no luck. Of course one or the other of them might have died and Hannah say remarried - no Hannah born Castle Combe showing in 81 either- and emigrated under a different name. With the name having several possible spellings and William being a schoolmaster who could have moved anywhere it would seem impossible to find a death - dozens of possibles for William alone 
Will give the puzzle some more thought.
