I am researching my wifes GG Grandfather who with his wife Harriet (Fancourt) emigrated to NZ (Approx 1875) before arriving in Aust. around 1888, after a short stint in Tonga!
Any information regarding their movements would be of great assistance.

Gidday Aussie Doug,
A John GRAHAME aged 27, single, occupation not listed, arrived at Port Chalmers, Otago aboard the GOTHENBURG in 1862 via Melbourne. No listing for any female of that surname.
And the NZSG appear to hold two certificates mentioning a
John Lynn GRAHAME, one referring to the marriage of parents on 13 September 1875, the other a birth of a child of that name on 6 June 1880 at Torere ECP (East Cape/Poverty Bay) NZ.
Regards, riley

Hi Riley,
Thanks for the research, I have some info on JLG which matches with your info.
JLG married Harriet Fancourt in Sept 1875 at Hackney Registry, in June 1876 Paul Grahame was born at Grey St, Auckland, after him came Maud b May 1878 Torere NZ, after her came Edmond Alfred b June 1880, and Alexandra Asther b Dec. 1881, both in Torere. Alexander Arthur b1882 in Gisbourne, and another daughter May b 1st May 1886 in Tonga. After this they emmigrated to Sydney, Australia and had another daughter named Lilly Ethel b cir 1889?
Paul Grahame returned to England and joined the Army serving in WW1 and married fathering eight children.
You can see I have quite a bit of info from a journal JLG kept but there ar a number of gaps particularly as to exactly where he was born, Westmorland I believe. He also went to Cambridge 'The Blue Coats' school being mentioned.
Anyway many thanks for the help, much appreciated.
Aussie Doug
