Hello 
In order for us to help you, can you please give a little more information, on exactly what it is you are wanting to find out about David WRIGHT and his family.
It would also assist, if you could tell us, what information you already have for the couple and their children.

Hello again
I've located two separate passenger lists for the "Lady Egidia" which sailed from London 1860 and arrived at Port Chalmers (Dunedin) on 28 January 1861.
Unfortunately, neither of these lists, gives the actual names of the children - they are listed only as "2 sons" and "3 daughters".
I'm presuming the children were born in Scotland ?
* Do you have their names and years of birth ?

I am looking for info on a David Wright 1811 scotland and a Janet Renwick 1811 and there childern who moved to New zealand 1861 on the Lady Egidia
any help would be grateful or a point in the right direction would be great
Hi bluerenwick
.... on searching a little further, I see that you have posted recently, to a thread on the Dumfriesshire board.
And on that thread, the original lister (who is descended from a child of David WRIGHT), has given details of the children of David and Janet WRIGHT.
I'm not sure why you elected not to include these details in your query, here on the New Zealand board ?? But just for future reference, and so that a lot of effort is not wasted in duplicating information, it would be helpful if you could state more precisely, what information you already have, and exactly what it is you are wanting to find.

On looking at the above thread again, it seems that the gentleman, "vortex56" is happy to share information about this WRIGHT family.
Perhaps you could make contact with him, via the Personal messaging (PM) system available here ?
