Hi, I am looking for my g.g.grandfather Henry. Possibly born in Scotland in 1841. Immigrated to New Zealand where he married Ann Penn. They moved to Australia in 1870. Any info much appreciated. Pam.

Whereabouts in Australia did they end up? When did he arrive in NZ? The 1851 Scottish Census has 7 listed born around that time

Possibly arrived New Zealand 1861. Married Ann Penn 1867 at Greysmouth. Came to Australia in 1870. First child Selena, born Sydney. They then moved to Grafton NSW. I think they finally finished up in Sydney.
I can find 5 children.

Sorry, unfortunately have no parents names. Not even 100% sure that Henry came from Scotland.
