Gibbards in Wanganui, North Island

[mumphjam]

I'm researching the Gibbards in North Island, specifically, near Kai Iwi, Wanganui, Wellington.
I'm trying to trace the offspring of a sheep farmer, Charles Gibbard who married an Ellen Parnell in April 1890. I know they had five children. One of these actually came back to England on a visit in 1954/55, I suspect to visit their parent's english roots. I just need help filling in details, say from censuses etc. Any thing please.

Hi
Before we commence a whole tree, it may help if you list the children, spouses that you have so far and the one that went back to england..then we won't repeat what you have.

Have you seen the free indexes of the Electoral rolls online at ancestry..they are a great help

I'm overwhelmed, thank you so much, I've spent some considerable time trying to trace this family, possibly because they must have gone steerage to get to New Zealand. Thank you, can I have some time to digest this lot of treasures and get back with a firmer idea of the family structure and any questions. Again thank you.

How do I get at the free Electoral Rolls and census returns for New Zealand from England?

Can I obtain printouts or similar?

Again thanks for you efforts, I now have the family tree from Charles Gibbard and Ellen Parnell, (strangely no mention of the rest of the Parnell family who disappeared from Suffolk, England about 1890). Charles and Ellens children, but still no clue as to which child visited us in Banbury, Oxfordshire in 1954/55.

Do you have records of temporary emigration form New Zealand?
Thanks again.
John
