New Zealand Costers
Looking for members of the Coster family
John Coster and Charles Coster came to Nelson in 1842 on the George Fyfe. John was killed at the Wairau massacre in 1843 and Charles moved on, possibly to Southland New Zealand.I have a copy of a will of this Charles Coster (in Southland) but it does not link him to John Coster so I don't know if he is the brother. John and Charles came from England where john had been a servant in London
