I am looking for any information on my ggg grandfather as noted above.
I would like to know what he did for a living,how he provided for his family.
The name of the ship that Margaret and his children emigrated onto come to
New Zealand,after his death in 1861.
Was he a prominent person in the community[ie teacher ,minister,baker etc.
What was the cause of his death?
Did he move from Bermondsey with his family ,maybe because of work?
Any information would be wonderful
Many thanks -CRICKET
