Hello List, I am new to this list and live in New Zealand. I am researching my g/grandfather's family. His name was James Irving and in 1874, with his wife Isabella (nee Burgess) and their five children , he left from Durham for New Zealand aboard the Northern Monarch. His two brothers, David and John also emigrated to New Zealand, when we don't know. Their brother George Rae Irving lived in Glasgow and married Helen Donaldson. When George died, she came to New Zealand also with children Janet Irving born abt 1889, David George Rae Irving born abt 1891 and Robert, birth date unknown. David is in the school roll in New Zealand in 1904. Could some kind soul please find this family for me. All we know is that g/grandfather James was born in Scotland about 1840, his wife Isabella Burgess was born in Lockerbie. They were married in Durham and the five children were all born in Durham. Would love to know where the brothers were born and if there are any more siblings. James' parents were James or Robert Irving and Janet Rae. TIA Dilys
