Londonderry/Derry - Immigration to NZ Robert John Martin & Clara Martin + family

[Irish Finder]

With our family tree, I know the above went to NZ around 1920+. To no avail i have tried to find the boat and dates they left. Their children are Millicent Bennet Martin 1910, Robert Martin, James Martin, Ernest Martin, Clara Martin and Honora Martin. Any help on the above would be a blessing

Do you know John and Clara's birth dates, did they travel with the children?
Do you know the childrens birth dates?
They may not have all come on the same ship?

This could be Clara Snr
Mrs C MARTIN aged 34 arrived Auckland New Zealand from Liverpool in 1920 aboard the Paparoa

Also have you tried posting on the New Zealand board on Rootschat as some of the people there are very good at narrowing down this information?

N Turner, I wonder if this is M Turner? who really is Melisina Bennet Turner, who is Clara's mother? I cant find anything on Melisina Turner, a death certificate or her birth, only she was born in 1850 in co Waterford to Michael Turner, who again I cant find anything on his either of who Melisina's mother was. Melisina married as a minor to William Turner on 17/1/1867 in Ballinderry, Moneymore, Londonderry.
