No passenger lists, from the UK, were kept until 1890.

You need to research the NZ end.

Thankyou for that, I didn't realise that.  I got their marriage certificate this end, plus movements here, but couldn't find anything else before marriage, hence my request to you. - thanks.

Assuming that the family is from Cheadle, it appears on the 1851 census but not 1861.

The last child to be baptised there seems to be Thomas on 27th July 1851, son of Thomas and Mary (Berry) of Edgeley, the same as Mary in 1848.

There are some Merchant Seaman records of George Nicholas. One born in Corfu and one in Cephalonia. The last records of either is 1856. The one from Corfu also may have been in the army in army - 1851 the 47th (The Lancashire) Regiment Of Foot.

I can see Mary in 1861 now - transcribed as Mary C.

The seamen's records are British and can be found on Findmypast. Quite a few George Nicholas records over the years, so they may be related.
