Just to add - from family knowledge we know John Murchland came and went from NZ to Australia in search of gold many times, so the NZ part is no surprise.

Andrew Dykes - thank you for looking into that, i knew he had ended up in Geelong but no other details.
The possibility Mary Dykes ended up in NZ, not one that was ever mentioned in the family that they had
a grandmother in NZ,we are the only branch of this family in NZ ,so it would be odd it was never talked of.
Marriage Certificate
17/11/1884 John Murchland (39) labourer born Prince Edward Island Parents Joseph Murchland Margaret Crowe (farmer) - cant read where he was at time of marriage looks like Napamhe, then New Zealands mentioned.
Mary Ann Dykes (26) spinster born Warnambool. Near Echuca NSW at time of marriage. John/Mary Dykes (carpenter) parents. Wesley Methodist Church(i think , hard to read) Witness ....Tuckfield, Margaret Tuckfield.

So it doesnt say a lot Mary Ann Dykes - spinster. It does say she was born in Warnambool,which is right but she must have been living in (it looks like) Echuca New South Wales? Sorry i dont know australian places well. It names her parents John Dykes and Mary Dykes but thats all.

Ok
Jessie Davis Dykes - 1850 -1869 - didnt know she had died in Hamilton
Mary Anne Dykes - 1858 - 1914 died in NZ - my ggrandmother
Samuel 1856 - died in a well aged very young
Joseph John - 1861-1864
Andrew James - 1864- 1904 died in Geelong
John Dykes - father died 1863 Warnambool.
I dont think the marriage cert for Mary Anne says deceased for her parents, just trying
to find out from my mother who has it.
