Hi Beg

I know the name of her parents - David White and Sarah Jenkins

David had a brother Samuel who died in Hampshire, England in 1872
David had a brother George who died in Hampshire, England in 1879

Her parents came to New Zealand as part of the migration scheme.

It an unusual combination of names. Gaveston really wasnt a commonly used name. Their family origins were Irish whereas my White family were from Hampshire for at least 300 years and didnt move out of Hampshire in that time.

I do have McGaveston family from Dublin, Ireland but no links to this family
McGaveston - Dublin-Ireland, France, New Zealand
White - Shalden, Alton, Chawton-Hampshire
O'Donnell - New Zealand, Co Down-Northern Ireland, USA
Franklin/Fraenkel - New Zealand, Prussia
Day - Echuca, Tongala, London, Fairford-Gloucestershire
Clark/McGraw - New Zealand, Ireland, England
McMahon -Ipswich-QLD, Kiladysart-Co Clare
Smith - Ipswich, Pine Mountain, Redbank-QLD, Co Westmeath, Co Cavan-Ireland
McGuire - Redbank - QLD, Co Westmeath-Ireland
Culhane - Queensland, Ardlaghan - Co Limerick

I heard from a cousin who said that Henry was born Henry Gaveston to John Gaveston and Mary Anne White so Im a little confused as to whether his parents or the BDM staff changed his name

This is what they said

The use of white in surname could be explained by this section of our act http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1995/0016/latest/whole.html?search=ta_act_B_ac%40ainf%40anif_an%40bn%40rn_200_a&p=1#DLM364723

I have been unable to progress this any further as I have not been able to find any links to Henry.
