Hi

Thank you all very much for your help. I believe they went to the North Island, so would that be Auckland or was Wellington the main port for immigrants?

I read a range of newspaper advertisements for 1928. My impression of Shaw Saville Albion was that they generally advertised  "New Zealand via the Panama Canal" sometimes describing it as the "Direct route" with "Through Passenger Booking for Australian Ports".
Rates weren't advertised - those interested being advised "For particulars apply to..." followed by 3/4 addresses across the country.

Hi Naomi,

If they are deceased you could post their names and maybe we can find the shipping list for you,a lot of ships stopped at various ports,

Cheers Janette

Restrictions were imposed on the passage of assisted immigrants in April 1927 and still in place early 1929 eg
" ... restricted to separated families, limited number of domestics and youths emigrating under the auspices of such organisations as Flock House".
