Family History Beginners Board / James Smith to NZ 1873
« on: Monday 05 July 10 05:15 BST (UK)  »

 
 My Great Grand Father was James Smith, he came out to NZ in the late 1870's aboard the sailing ship Lutterworth. I have all his / our info on down from there. But everything going back from him is pretty much a mystery.  His parents names were Charles & Myra Smith and apparently he was from Warwickshire.  He was about 18 - 20 years old when he made the voyage.

He died in 1931 after having lead a full life in the Hokitika area of NZ.  He was survived by his wife Maggie & numerous children the last of whom passed away in 1983. he being Eric Smith my grand father.

The point of this post is to hopefully learn more about Charles & Myra Smith my great great grand
parents

This is my first post here so please excuse this being somewhat disjointed.
