Scottish emigrants even when they lived quite near to a suitable port in fact often travelled south by train and picked up one of the larger, faster and perhaps more comfortable ships leaving from London. Marlborough Express, 27 April 1908, Page 7 In the early days immigrants were immigrants; the Government was so I glad to see them come that no one asked if they had any means. Nowadays, some cash of his own is an essential qualification of the assisted immigrant. It is not easy to say what people make the best immigrants. The Scotch and Cornish have won. https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1609792 http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/Emigration/EmbarkationLists/#Viewlists http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~shipstonz/shipstonz.html http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzbound/ http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast Snippets from Papers Past.

Mr Andrew Dunlop, one of the most widely known men of Southland, and one of the rapidly diminishing band of its early settlers, died suddenly at his residence, Avenal, yesterday about one o'clock. Ho was in town on Saturday, and retired to rest about the usual time in his customary health. About three in the morning he was suddenly taken alarmingly ill. Medical aid was called in but he never rallied and death from apopiexy supervened as stated. Deceased, with his father and some other members of the family, arrived here by the New Great Britain early in 1863, his mother and younger sister following shortly after by the Helenslee, and it will be remembered that the first news Mrs Dunlop whose detention in London was due to the state of her own health received on arrival at Bluff, was that her husband was buried there, having died at sea just before the vessel made the land. The family belonged to Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Andrew received his earlier education there, and afterwards studied for the veterinary degree at Dick's College, Edinburgh, where he qualified and gained the diploma of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland. He also obtained the degree of M.R.C.V.S. at tho Royal College of Veterinary .Surgeons, London. He practised in conjunction with his father in his native town, and they no doubt intended continuing together in the new land for which they crossed the sea in company. Deceased, though but a young man when he landed, was, as the above degrees testify, highly qualified to commence the practice of his profession on his own account, and he did so at once at Avenal, on the outskirt of this town. His farriery was a successful establishment on the Great North Road, at the suburb named. ... Mr Dunlop was twico married. The first family are grown up, but still mostly at home. He leaves a widow, with two daughters, also to mourn his loss. Deceased was a strong and vigorous man, and had not by any means reached old age, being but 59 when his life was so suddenly cut short. Wellington Independent, 17 April 1871, Page 2 New Woollen Manufactory.— In reference to the woollen manufactory about to be established by Mr Arthur J. Burns, at Mosgiel, East Taieri >that the plant was shipped on the Helenslee, which sailed from Glasgow on the 27th January, and may be expected here about the first of next month. It consists of a full act of carding engines, one pair of mules with 650 spindles, four blanket and two tweed looms, finishing, washing, and milling machinery, and a pair of engines of thirty-two horse power, with Cornish boilers having Galloway's tubes. The machinery is of the very best description, and contains the latest improvements. Coming out as passengers by the same vessel there are twenty-four workmen twenty-one of whom are adults and n gentleman to manage the establishment who has had extensive experience in some of the best manufactories in Lanarkshire and other parts of Great Britain. It is expected that the works will be in operation by the month of August next. http://www.angelfire.com/ok2/cbluff/helenslee1863.html North Otago Times, 18 May 1916, Page 2 The late Robert Smith, of Greta Street, whose death was announced on Tuesday, had, been a resident of, the Dominion thirty-six years. He was born at Biggar, Lanarkshire, and emigrated at an early age. He married at the age of twenty-one years the daughter of the late Mr James Henderson, of Coquet Street. For a time he was employed on the breakwater and later in the railway department, first in the goods shed, and afterwards as night watchman, he was keenly interested in politics. He leaves a widow and family of four sons and four daughters. Mr and Mrs Smith celebrated their golden wedding four years ago. Otago Daily Times 20 May 1916, Page 6 SMITH. On May 16, 1916, at his residence, Greta street, Robert Smith, the beloved husband of Margaret Henderson Smith; in his seventy-sixth year. *Immigrate = Into* * Emigrate = Exit and leaves one "m" behind!*
