Tiffaney on Family Tree Circles

Hi all,

Looking for information about Peter SHEARER born 1848 Stronsay Ornkney Islands Scotland who came with his younger brother John Peace Shearer to New Zealand.

John married & stayed in New Zealand but Peter headed to Australia, could have been Melbourne & eventually died there. Would like to find out if Peter married & had a family.

Thank you
Tiffaney
