Looking for DRYSDALE emigrated from SCOTLAND to EKETAHUNA New Zealand around 1860s
I'm looking for the Drysdales that originated in Scotland and emigrated to New Zealand, settling in the Wairarapa region of Eketahuna.
William Drysdale died in 1872 - apparently in Scotland - and a few years later Margaret took the family and sailed, but the name of the ship is not yet known.
I believe they came in two lots, a couple of the 'children' arriving at a later date
Margaret Drysdale married soneone Lamb and settled over there so never went to New Zealand
A Ebenezer Drysdale is one of this family, he died in Greytown in 1941
Any help on this Drysdale would be appreciated
View them here to see what info I have and what is needed
