Isabella & Catherine Cann

[Poodlz]

I'm trying to find shiipping records to New Zealand for Isabella & Catherine Cann who immigrated to New Zealand sometime before their marriages in 1858.  I'm having no luck on New Zealand sites!  Any help appreciated.

Hi,

This is a possibility.......

On January 6th, the arrival from London via New Plymouth, the 'William Watson'. Among passengers in steerage, Misses CANN.

'Daily Southern Cross' dated 8.1.1858.

Whoa, thank you.  NZ records have the 'William Watson' arriving in 1856 with only Cann and no further details.  Interestingly she and her sister married in 1858, Isabella in May, to my great-great grandfather John Hull, one would assume it was arranged or they met in London, he was a Chemist,
Thank you so much

Just wondered if you could help a little further.  I can find the birth of Isabella, but striking a blank for Catherine?

Whoa fantastic and even more family!  No I have lost Catherine, she married Thomas Cuffley Chadwick 1858, can't find any death records for either so can only presume they went back to the UK or maybe Australia.  Thanks for all your help.
