My g/g/grandmother Honora DUGGAN was married to James STEPHENS in Auckland in 1863. On her "Application to Marry" her age is given as 18, length of residence in NZ 12 months; Name and Relation of Person giving consent in case of a Minor:- No person in the colony having authorisation to give consent. I have not been able to find her entry into New Zealand. Neither have I found James STEPHEN's entry into NZ. He must have been 'established' prior to their marriage on 19 Nov 1863 as they were married in his Dwelling House. Several years ago, a letter came into my possession suggesting that James STEPHENS had 'jumped ship' in Malta, found his way to Australia, 'met the Irish girl' along the way - possibly Australia. Some time ago, I found this entry on the British Passenger Shipping list 18952 - 1869 Index on http://www.vic.gov.au/prov/UnAssisted2.asp DUGGAN Honora; Age 25, year 1861, Month Jun, Ship "David G Fleming; Port B, Fiche 190, Page 3 Because of the age of the above, I more or less abandoned the idea that it could be the Honora DUGGAN I was looking for but I am now having second thoughts. She could have lied about her age above, and also when she married here in NZ. I' have checked the Aus Vital records but there is no Honora DUGGAN to fit the age and time. Could someone advise if there is any way to check the Honora DUGGAN on the "David G Fleming", i.e. where she came from and what happened to her after arrival in Australia? I do not have convenient access to the LDS Library and would really appreciate some help on this problem which I have been working at for the past 20 years.
