Thanks mgnv,
The man in question was in already NZ by early 1880's where he married and died.

Thank you Kath,
You have helped me to help someone else!
I didn't think he would be on the censuses, but thought I should check.

Parents and all children on these returns are accounted for, but another child name Duncan McGillivray/Mcgilvray ( b Mull circa 1852) turns up in NZ and names same parents?
Child is not any Ancestry returns an no birth can be found

Thankies in advance
