Hi Yetigirl

I can't help thinking that the Lancaster link is significant - there are many DRIVERS in that area.

I am happy to have another look using the names of Robert's offspring as a guide, but I think to be sure you have the right one, eventually you will need confirmation from immigration records (and I know less than nothing about those, sorry!)

Will have another look now

I'm not convinced... ??? ???

I think the nearest is a Robert Driver b1864 in Greenwich, who is a shipwright's apprentice in 1881.

Interestingly: the first entry for 1871 was a George Robert DRIVER, servant at Ely College, Cambridgeshire - sure you have the right college?  ;D

Also had a look at Francis/ Frank PARIS, but there are only 2 on the returns - one from Demerera, West Indies!  He is on a vessel called India Pearl.

Hi
Robert Driver was in NZ by 1876 as he married here then.  It is so frustrating not being able to find him anywhere.  Thanks again
Bye Eileen
