Hi Copperbeech5

Thanks.

Sorry, I dont have any clues as to "where".

The info I have on this man comes from "The Cyclopaedia of Canterbury" (NZ).  
"... he worked on Victorian Railways for 7 years (from c. 1854) ... married in VIC to a daughter of Mr. William RUDDLE of Belfast (Ireland) ... came to NZ in 1863. "

His surname was often misspelt as "DICKENSON".

Yes that's the correct family ... many thanks Jenn.

I'll endeavour to trace the daughter through NZ records.

Happy New Year.    :)

The record Jenn found was for passage in April 1863 so a 3 year old would have been born 1859-1860.
Still nothing matching on the register  ???

Mmm ... yes, I was fairly sure the daughter had been born in VIC prior to their departure.

Never mind, I'll just dig a little deeper in NZ ... I'm sure she'll turn up eventually.   ;)

Thanks again Alison.
