26 jun 1840  Angus, Scotland.
first son William born 1841  found the them on 1841 census.

So in that ten yr span, they had David 1844  Mary Robina 1846  Robenia F 1849 who died aged 8
Cant find their births   or shipping records for them.

Were the children born in Scotland or New Zealand?

Just wondering, have you found all the children in NZ or are their details from Thomas' DC?

The reason I ask is I had family emigrate whereby others were to follow with another family member but a change in circumstances i.e. the later arrival of others didn't occur.
