I am helping a friend to find when his mother as a 2/3 year old along with siblings and parents left UK for New Zealand in 1913/14.
They may have been via Australia to Wellington.

Names were John Varley BARKER b 1876, wife Florence May BARKER 1878, children Arthur Varley BARKER b 1905, Phyllis Florence BARKER b 1907, Edith Varley BARKER b 1910 (his mother)

Thank you
