Sue, About the "Hydaspes" that ship was responsible for bringing many settlers to N.Z. and for a long time I was puzzled that I could not find them arriving, although I had found them leaving. As you have discovered the ship landed them in Australia and I believe that voyage did not come to NZ. As I mentioned before Rev.J met with and accident on board shortly before arriving in Australia. It can"t have been to serious, although I have not been able to discover the nature of this accident, but he must have made good recovery because he preached in Australia before leaving for NZ. with his family on board the Tararua. Interesting for me now, to see the significance of the second son Williams second name Davidson, perhaps honoring his mothers maiden name and that of the family that raised him.
