John Francis Stanbury and his wife Betsy Dearing arrived in NZ in 1862 with their two sons George and John. These Stanburys came from Okehampton, Devon, England.

John, Betsy and their children settled at Little River, Banks Peninsula in 1864. I want to find out if all the Stanburys living in NZ are descendants from John and Betsy.

George Stanbury born 1916 England married Margaret Caroline Belcher in 1878 New Zealand.
George and Margaret has 12 children between 1879 and 1899, 3 daughters and 9 sons.

Their oldest son was Francis George Stanbury, my grandfather.
Francis George Stanbury married Athol Mary Shadbolt. They had 8 children, 5 sons and 3 daughters.
