Thanks very much, TPB, compliments of your research skills. 
I didn't know about that resource.

This website recording the burials reveals that he was probably one of two later settlers who died and were buried there.

I wonder if a local library, family history society or NZSG branch might hold more information.

Hi xxindibeexx, and welcome to RootsChat
As Lucy2 has mentioned, your topic on the Beginner's Board has provided some answers for you.
It's best practice to keep research on one place (i.e., confined to a single topic) if possible, so I suggest we lock this topic and leave the other one active. If you wish I can move that one to the New Zealand Board for you.
Please let me know if you'd like to to do that.
Regards,
Spades

In case you don't have this, he attested for the Armed Constabulary on 2 January 1869. He was 33 years of age and 5' 6 1/2" tall.

New Zealand / Re: Ship "Maori" to Auckland 1864 Passenger Register
« on: Wednesday 10 April 24 22:46 BST (UK) »
Hi John,
The voyage you mention departed from the Cape of Good Hope on 7 November 1864, according to the report published in the New Zealander on 24 December 1864, Page 4. This includes the passenger list.
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01t3z/
I've searched Archway for 'micro5019' and also tried other search terms, all without success so far, but I'm certain they will still hold it.
But to answer your question, many passenger lists do not appear online.

Hi Gdfoote, and welcome to RootsChat.
Reading the topic, it sounds like no one has yet discovered what happened to her.
You and Deelin might want to exchange email addresses and then discuss the family off-line. For personal privacy reasons we don't post email addresses on the forum, instead we do so via the private Personal Message ('PM') facility.
The PM facility is activated after new members make three posts, so please feel free to reply twice to this topic (just an emoji in the text field is fine). Then Deelin can send you a PM and you can reply.
If you have any questions at any time about RootsChat works, just ask on this topic or send me a PM and I'll help.
