Stockdills on the Rakaia and Orari

I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has any information on
Rachel Stockdill (sister of my gt gt grandfather Thomas Stockdill), who
sailed to New Zealand on the Rakaia in 1874 or William George
Stockdill, George Stockdill and Maria Stockdill who sailed on the Orari
in 1879 from Co. Tyrone aged 22, 20 and 22 respectively.

Hi Lorraine,
Have you by chance been in contact with Roy Stockdill of Lancashire,
England.

beekers...

You live dangerously by saying he's "of Lancashire". How about
YORKSHIRE ?

He may have information on the family as I have reason to believe he is
carrying out a One Name Study.
If he does not have any information I am sure he will be interested in
what you do have.
Hope this gives you a leed.
Have you checked the New Zealand White pages online at
Island and 4 listed in the North Island so one would expect that one of
them ought to be related.

Contact Roy STOCKDILL at roy.stockdill@btinternet.com He's done a one
name study into the name and he knows just about all there is to know
about it.

Your post has been forwarded on to him.
