Background information about the passage http://www.rootschat.com/links/01o23/ for other researchers in case it helps.

Looks like there was a J B Clarke in the region before the arrival of yours.  Haven't ascertained the former's first name.

However there is a passage not long after your fellow's arrival, to Lyttelton which might be interesting to consider

Hello

A quick look just now found the following, but more background info would be needed, to be sure any was the right John CLARKE. The problem with searching common names, so many hits.

Hi Inr,

Do you have an inkling as to who these people might be? Or you hope to be?

Looks like there was a J B Clarke in the region before the arrival of yours.  Haven't ascertained the former's first name.

Could that be the John B Clarke, who is on the E/R's for Otago?

The other with the same initials are a John Betts Clarke and a John Bligh Clarke.  Note: I'm not saying that they are the J B Clarke that Twiggy found, but for elimination purposes if needed.

Have you any births/ages that can help us find the needle in the haystack?

Cheers
