When I was on holiday in Wellington earlier this year I visited the Te Papa museum, which had an exhibition about NZ immigration. One of the panels talked about a bunch of people coming from Paisley in the early 1840s. Anyone know anything more about this? Irene
Irene, why don't you google paisley born immigrants to New Zealand, 1840's, or scottish immigrants 1840's to New Zealand, there are alot of passenger lists on line, you can also find lists through olivetree genealogy, downtown new zealand search engine, www.genealogylinks.net/ click New Zealand, I posted quite a few sites to the New Zealand list today.

My wifes G.G grandparents were from Paisley area and emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand on the "Duchess of Argyle" in 1842 and another vessel was the "Jane Gifford." Robert ANDREW was a Weaver but became a farmer in New Zealand. I think these were about the first vessels to bring about 500 Scots to New Zealand from the Paisley area. Ships sailed from Greenock.
