My interest in this family arises from a Robert Hart who died in South Australia in 1899, it appears he married Sophia Knight in New Zealand in 1868 and had a child, Alexander, there. At the time of his second marriage in South Australia he stated his father was Duncan Hart.
I have not been able to find records for Duncan and Mary Hart and their children after 1861 nor of where they went. See https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L7NY-VMY
Nor have I found records of Robert Hart travelling to New Zealand or him and wife and child to South Australia.
A number of researchers have Robert Hart being from Wiltshire but records contradict that.
Any help with this family would be appreciated.
