Alfred Vincent and Eliza Peace are my great grandparents. Alfred and his sister Rosina went to NZ 1872(?) . Rosina was married to Henry Ripper Dunstan in Cornwall prior to leaving for NZ. There was a Carthew uncle (their mother's brother) already in the Canterbury region which might explain why they went there
 Brother William went to Tasmania. Apparently the NZ children born to Alfred and Eliza would visit their Tasmanian cousins once they were old enough to travel as young adults so they were well known to each other. Albert Vincent is my grandfather, he died 4 months prior to my birth in 1968.
