I am researching the line of Margaret Blee who emigrated to New Zealand with her family aged 18.
She was born in Germoe Cornwall and her parents were Samuel Curtis Blee and Elizabeth James who maried in 1851 in Breage.
They came out on the Western Monarch arriving in January 1879.
Not long after arriving she married Frederick Noah Bailey, he travelled on the same ship and is listed as Noah Bailey aged 24 - I have not been able to locate anything about him.
I guess he did not come from Germoe but I would say that it would have been from somewhere in the south of England otherwise he would have emigrated via Liverpool.
His brother was Samuel Noah Bailey and that name of Noah appears to be central to the family. I have tried to find a Noah Senior to no avail.
Frederick died in NZ in 1903.
I have the ancestors of Margaret and would love to have the parents of Frederick if possible and also an occupation if possible - I could send for the death certificate but someone smarter than me may be able to dredge him up.
I will also put this request on the NZ board.
