I am trying to discover how my husband's great grandfather Harry William Byers reached New Zealand. I have searched passenger lists without success; I am now wondering whether he was a crewman who jumped ship (or signed off) when he reached New Zealand. When he married in Palmerston North, NZ, he was said to have been in the district for 4 years (I know he could have been elsewhere prior to that but have no information.) I know he was born in London in 1841, and was still in England for the 1851 census. I discovered him, aged 19, as a crewman on a coastal schooner at the time of the 1861 census. The vessel was Elizabeth Furner, a 57 ton Coaster Schooner. At the time of the census she was registered at Goole. The Captain was William Fratson (35), born in Yorkshire. Any suggestions? Paddy
