Hi folk in Fife,  Some long time ago I attempted to find the above persons records for in Scotland.  Our family info in NZ shows William as being lighterman at Port Chalmers (Port for Dunedin at the time) and dying in 1871, his wife Anne died 3 months earlier than William also in 1871 leaving a young family.  I have traced William's entry into NZ in 1861 when he would have been 20 but nothing for Anne, there's an entry for a Anne McHale which could have been bad writing mistranslated, though there is no marriage for them here in NZ.    Family have her being born in 1844 but not where.     This would make her 17 if she arrived with William as is presumed.  William's record shows he shipped out from Glasgow.   He was said to be born in Forefirshire  which I haven't seen as listed on index on Scotland site, hence my request being made on Fife site.  Any help and ideas of where I could look would be most gratefully received.  I'll find the name of the ship William travelled out on in case that helps.  BELLBIRD
