The George who came to Thames and was brother of Robert - came to NZ 1884c
apparently in his obituary it says in NZ 45 years
and confirmed in the A M Isdlae article mentioned above.

There is a George Comer mentioned in the
Thames Star, Volume XIV, Issue 4540, 24 July 1883, Page 2
"George Comer, licensee of the Shotover Hotel, Tararu Road"

Thats interesting Janette
must check the hotel lists
I usually just associate him with mining, he has a very well documented career

Will be interested when original poster comes online, what children they have
BMD have Registration Number Family Name Given Name(s) Mother's Given
Name(s) Father's Given
Name(s) Still Birth
1885/6102 Comer  Leonnard Rumsam  Mary Ann George -
1886/19475 Comer  John  Mary Ann George -
1882/14172 Comer  Verney  Mary Ann George

this fits in with a school admission that has Virney and Flora..name of a child born Devon in census mention above

Meant to add George is in the 1900s is on the Licensing Committee at Thames

George and Mary Ann are buried at Waikaraka Cemetary. I didn't know the grave was marked, will have to visit when next in Auckland.

Thanks Janette, I have never found a listing for any of them coming into the country. I am surprised that the 3 children are not listed ie. George, Flora Jane and Virney.

Was Virney born in Devon? or aboard ship, because the registration is at BMD
school record gives Bdate as 3 oct 1882
