.... it seems that an older son of James R. and Lydia BOSSON, arrived here (NZ) ahead of other members of his family.

In 1891 census I note there is a child named "George A. BOSSON - aged 4 yrs".

He appears to be the George Albert BOSSON on NZ electoral rolls firstly at Hawera (Taranaki) 1905-06.

In 1911 George Albert (a farmer) is with BOSSON family members living at Awatuna or Matapu.
