Ancestors I M Researching
I live in New Zealand and most of my ancestors have been here for several generations; many arriving in the 19th century.
The surnames that feature prominently in my family tree include: Aldridge, Chapman, Mathieson, Scott, Gibbs, Prentice, Perry, Lewis, Stewart, Simpkin, Dobbie, Blandford, Towan, Hosking, Paton, Goodman, Johnston, Goodall, Gage, Gordon, Bell, Craig, Arkinstall, Bourne, Sayce, Hawthorne, and Jenkins.
Most of my immigrant ancestors settled in the South Island - especially in the Canterbury and Otago regions. Some travelled via Australia. They originated from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Canada.
I am always happy to make contact with other descendants of my ancestors and happy to share photos and information.

Hi im Simon Perry my fathers side of the family trace back to William Perry Of Sawyers Bay in !860's.
Hi Simon
I don't know much about my Perry ancestors. My 2x great grandfather was Alfred Perry - I think he was born in England about 1834. He died of enteric fever in Otago, New Zealand on 10 June 1876. He was a miner. He had married Catherine Smith and their children (born between 1868 and 1876) were Walter, Jane, Alice, Alfred, William and John Fredrick).
Their son William Perry was born 16 June 1874 - does he sound like your one??
