Looking for any information or any advice on tracking down:
Nicholas QUINN. Co Down single; a labourer aged 21 and his brothe William QUINN aged 18, arrived in Dunedin , New Zealand on board 'S.S.Arawa ' on 24 Dec 1884; left Plymouth 8 Nov 1884 PL/DP
==================
Nicholas & William were originally from Kilkeel, Co. Down.
======
They first went to Australia to a place called Bendigo, made some money and then moved on to New Zealand where they bought 5000 acres on the South Canterbury Plains at a place called WAIMATE.
Any help greatfully appreciated,
Fiona,
