Emigration of Alldred on SS Coptic 1886

[mrs templeton]

In 1886 my great grandfather arrived in New Zealand listed as Mr J. Alldred and family (3) I presume it was him, his wife (christina maiden name unknown) and one or two of the three children they had.  Family members here in N.Z. don't know where they came from.  They were aboard the S.S. Coptic which arrived in Port Chalmers on 16th of April 1886 via Cape Town where 52 passengers embarked port of departure in the U.K. was Portsmouth in Feb/March. 1886
Does anyone know where I could find a detailed list of the passengers and if possible where they originally lived.

Not much hope I'm afraid but perhaps you might know the names of any children already born by 1881 - that might just help, only perhaps. But, here is an odd coincidence as the names Alldred and SS Coptic pop up again:

I see that link did not work but it was about a famous NZ doctor Alldred who, in 1920, went as Medical Officer on the SS Coptic.

Joseph was born in 1884 where I don't know.  He always said he was born in Dunedin but obviously not.  The parents were James and Christina, Ernest was born in 1887 in New Zealand and there was also a daughter Maud don't know when or where she was born.
