Turner Family move to New Zealand

[powderpuff]

I understand the Turner Family moved to New Zealand sometime in 1884 aboard The Northumberland.

Turnwell Turner b 1847 Denbighshire
Marianna Turner b 1856 Kent
Mary b 1876 Wales
Alice b
Lavinia b

I have the family (Turnwell, Marianna & Mary) in the 1881 census in Castleford, Yorkshire.

If possible, if anyone has access to records, please could sks look and see if there are any other Turner family members who travelled with them, also, if possible, the ages and places of birth of the children.

Thanks

Hi PP,

Just for reference, someone else on rootschat is researching this family,

It appears that this family has been noted because of their interesting names,
