One of the daughters is a Mrs Voight.  Perhaps her husband is related to Louisa?
One of the daughters is a Mrs Lischner, and there were also Lischners on the Sussex.

 Thanks Beg,Crisane, Spades, Lucy2, Hurwoth and Minniehaha for the valuable information you have provided and the links  to your sources. I really appreciate  that you all take the time to give such detailed helpful replies.   

It now looks like the story of the Shetland Isles forebears might be on the other side of the family----the  George Gair Hunter  who is buried at East Tairi cemetery.

 Is there a special website I can make  contact with regarding Shetland Island settlers in New Zealand ? Regards Orkrad.

Hi Orkrad

Lots of links if you Google "NZ + Shetland Islanders" :
