Looking for Grandfather, Gregory Barker Mably, settled in Mayfield Canterbury N.Z
Want to know how he got here. The family story goes that he worked his way out on a ship from Cornwall, England, probably in the 1860's How do I find this info?

Eagle was 327 ton 2 masted brig built in Scotland in 1854. Owened by Abbot & Co. of Padstow. Owner/Master was William Mably.
Gregory Mably born 1845 Cornwall occ AS was discharged from this ship in Padstow on the 24 Aug 1863.
He was already a seaman so I would think he enlisted as ship crew to get to Australia/New Zealand
Start looking for ships crew starting in august 1863.
