Hi again, nope still stuck, are there any other search clues that could point me in the right direction? It is getting information to verify the connection and unfortunately none of the names, although very nice, are unique. The maiden name of Peter Christians' mother Helena Hansen as appears on his New Zealand death certificate may be a red herring; although, is a strange coincidence that the list above mentions Hansen, but the census wouldn't usually list a maiden name...

cheers Steve
