thank you to Dennis and his message 2 July 2011:
... You list a "Damiel" Cherry born 1885, however, his name was "Daniel". I suspect a typo. But, it thru me off. I'm descended from William Alexander Cherry (Maternal Grandfather).
My records show that they arrived in NZ on August 4, 1979 (sic 1879) on the Napier. The registrar recorded their family name spelling as Cherrie, vs. Cherry. I have found corresponding records to convince me this is the family I've been searching for ...
thank you for that Dennis, it should help other searchers
