Immigration to Canterbury :

* Whilst the names of this MANN family match with the children on the 1871 ENG census, the ages of Emily and Elizabeth have been changed so that Emily appears the eldest.
Robert's age is about right ... but who is Elizabeth MANN aged 46 a cook/servant born about 1828
Should this be Mary MANN (mother of the children)
[Have still to figure that out . ]
She is near in age to Mary MANN (born circa 1826) but the records for this voyage show her as
Elizabeth MANN.
The MANN family group on this voyage of the "Lady Jocelyn" (3 November 1874 from London - arrived Lyttelton 21 January 1875) were "Colonial Nominated Immigrants" (meaning that someone in the colony of NZ had paid all or part of their passage to Canterbury.)
In very faint writing alongside of their passenger listing, the words "Timaru - Anthony Mann - Waimate" can be seen. There is also a reference code in last column -"Canty/Waimate - 341".
[Note: Timaru Library may have details of these Nominated Immigrants. ]
So while that all seems odd, returning to records in Yorkshire, adds some clarification.
