Hi Ashley

The 1861 birth at Wiltshire, ENG which I mentioned previously, may well be the one

Baptism at Salisbury, St Edmunds, Wiltshire :
Henry Edwin PALLETT*
born 11 October 1861 - baptised 1 Novemeber 1861
s/o Edwin PALLETT (cabinetmaker) and Emily PALLETT

---

1871 - at Wiltshire > St. Thomas

Shown as POLLETT  - but image very clearly shows "PELLETT"
Edwin - 32 - cabinetmaker and upholsterer
Emily 35
Henry - 10 - son
Eliza - 7 - dau
Laura - 4 dau

Part of this PELLETT family came to NZ :

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS18920507.2.8
Laura PELLETT maried Joseph William SHIELDS in 1892 at her parents' residence.

Their first-born son (1893) was named "Henry Edwin" SHIELDS (do wonder then if this was after her "deceased" brother.    Eliza, the sister of Henry Edwin and Laura, had also apparently died in 1893 (ENG ?)

I wouldn't worry too much about "EDWIN v. EDWARD"  ... the two names are often confused.

So this Wiltshire, Henry Edwin PELLETT "marries up" quite well with the info found to date.

- On passenger list = H.E. PALLETT   
- Edward PELLETT - 18 years in  1880 - (bc 1862)  [Henry Edwin PELLETT - born October 1861]
- A later connection to NZ for parents Edwin and Emily PELLETT and daughter Laura (Laura's first son named "Henry Edwin".)

Re:   New Zealand Passenger Lists - some info ...

*     In the main, the early passenger lists available for New Zealand, give particulars for persons who arrived in the Colony as part of various immigration schemes arranged by the Governments of a number of provinces (e.g. Auckland / Wellington / Canterbury / Otago / etc. etc. ). 
     
*     There are very limited passenger lists available for persons who arrived independently - i.e. those who paid their own passages to NZ  ... or those who didn't qualify under the immigration criteria of the time, and who may have had fares paid by relatives/friends already living in NZ.

*      Bear in mind that - not all persons arriving in New Zealand will necessarily be recorded on a passenger list ... - or that an (official) passenger list can be found for the ship they were said to have arrived on.   

*      People generally travelled "freely", (without restriction), between Australia and New Zealand  (and vice versa).     Some passenger lists are available for travel from several Australian states (depending on the era).   Be aware that steerage passengers were often not specifically named on lists ... and that persons who had firstly been emigrants to Australia were not regarded by NZ Immigration authorities as immigrants to this country - i.e. they we not subjected to the rules and regulations applicable to immigrants.

*      Where passenger lists to NZ cannot be found, searching newspapers at PapersPast website might prove fruitful.     paperspast.natlib.govt.nz

*      Consider too, that your "missing person" may have firstly arrived in Australia.
