and from information contributed by family/descendants, so its possible to find real gems amongst the data.

Spades

That's the bit which can be unreliable ;) or illuminating.

PSM = Petone Settlers Museum ?

Thank you.   That does seem likely.

I hope you don't mind me butting in here.

I've had a look at the Petone Settlers data via your link and there is information on some ancestors that I haven't seen on the passenger lists that are on Family Search.   E.g. A place of birth (village) whereas the list on FamilySearch just states the county.

Would you know whether there other records about the voyages or passengers that Hutt City has in addition to the lists on FamilySearch?

What would "? PSM" stand for?

They may have just cancelled everyone like they did with Bee, had a rethink about how much this might cost them, decided it wasn't worth it, then readvertised and with the revised offer of a ham sandwich and a cuppa.

Ham sandwich?   

I hope there's a vegan option.

The Common Room / Books that were on Mocavo. Where are they now?
« on: Friday 03 June 16 22:58 BST (UK)  »
I had saved a few links to books that were on Mocavo, but the links no longer work.   It's takes me to Findmypast, but not to the actual book.

Are the books there somewhere or am I missing something?  I do have a FindMyPast sub.

Other Countries / Re: Trinidad Huggins Family
« on: Thursday 02 June 16 03:49 BST (UK)  »
Thank you.

It is thought that some of my ancestors married in Port-of-Spain in the 1820s.  At least one of their children was born in Trinidad as she states Trinidad as her place of birth in the UK census.

I hadn't considered that there might still be parish records in Trinidad from back then.

May I ask where you found Trinidad parish records?

Lest we forget.

And from the other side of the world, in the same battle, aboard the same ship.

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage of Julia Bloye & John Laird prior to 1813

"My cousin had a theory that the Scottish name suddenly appeared in Norfolk about the time that Bonny Prince Charlie's Army retreated north from England - maybe a deserter ? Nice thought haha !"

I have read that Queen Victoria made it possible for Scots to come down to England and farm, which is why there have been quite a number of Scots surnames in Essex going back to Queen Victoria's reign, no doubt it applied to other counties.

Quite a few Scots came from Scotland to tenant Lord Petres estates in Essex at that era.
