Wow...that was quick!! You really are a wizard!!......Thank you so much for that info..I was intending to stop there, but may try and go further back. Caroline Davidson was my Great Grandmother. My Great Grandfather, Joseph Abbiss worked at Kew Gardens before travelling by assisted passage on 28th April, 1874, to New Zealand, on the vessel Euterpe. Later changed to the Star of India. That's exactly 149 years ago! Will probably have a question about my other Great Grandparents, shortly..... Thanks again
