Hi Sue,

Thank you. The name details are set out below.

They are all part of one family group who had been at the diggings near Ballarat and went on in at least two groups to the Otago goldfield in NZ and then to the West Coast around Hokitika and Greymouth. I am related to them as G, GG and GGG grandparents and their siblings.

They travelled between C 1855 and 1865 from Victoria to probably Hokitika or Port Chalmers with Lyttleton a possibility.
