NEVER say die Tony! The Canadians have excellent records online, the Australians have the Pioneer Index and a set of CDs and the Kiwis (the ones who just beat you at Cricket!) have a CD and fiche from the Genealogical Society. The 1850s - 1870s were the high points when tens of thousands left Mother England and the most likely destinations were one of the above.. Go on venture out- I dare you! God forbid, you might find Aussie cousins! Cheers Marlene in Aotearoa.
