karcol on 2008-10-06 21:49:15There have been four different lots of McIsaac's arrived New Zealand that I am aware of:
1. The family of Alexander McIsaac who came over on the "Ellen Lewis" with his nephew Angus and his 10 children arriving in Auckland May 14th 1860. They were from Broad Cove, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Most of the family settled in Thames.
2. Another McIsaac came to New Zealand on 27 March 1886 on board the ship RMS Rimutaka, arriving in Lyttleton, there is an Angus McIsaac b. 1811 linked but I am not sre if he was the one who emigrated.
3. Richard McIsaac, born 19th March 1831 in Lanark, Glasgow, Scotland and Jean Scott, with his parents and siblings emigrated from London onboard the "Clifford" in Dec 1841, arriving 1842 in Nelson, NZ. They settled in Renwick, South Island.
4.Bruno George McIsaac arrived with his sister Theresa May McIsaac in 1883, coming from Prince Edward Island. Bruno married Ruth Powellin in 1886. After living in Melbourne and Kaipara, Ruth McIsaac and her family settled in Auckland.
Hi my family desenants also sailed over from Nova Scotia on the Ellen Lewis (but i thousht is ws more around 1859?)i was told that 3 brothers went to the south island (our family is made up from one of the ones that stayed in the North!) My Nana's Mother left a casette tape explaing all this. My Nana knows much about our history...but of course has never used a computer! I will ask her and see if i can help, i know for sure that there are many documents with her.
