Many thanks L. Harris and Graham, yes this is the same Gideon Anderson, born at Flugath , North Roe, Shetland. In 1875 his wife, along with three surviving children, left Shetland for New Zealand to join her brother, a baker on the goldfields. The only surviving boy is my grandfather also Gideon Anderson. Confirmation of him being on the SS Fire Queen 5 September – 10 October 1868 is the all important part of a very long search. Gideon Anderson. NZ
