Were the children born in Scotland or New Zealand?

Can't find them in either countries. Wonder if they went to aust first. I am really stuck
Thanks

I have a really old tree given to me. But just dates nothing else.
-
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.
