Stringer Family |
|
The Stringer family emmigrated from the UK to New Zealand in 1874, we're decendents of typical working-class families of the time who struck out across the oceans on a three month voyage in a sailing ship to help break in a land which Maori had themselves been struggling in for hundreds of years.
They left their home in County Kent England on the 24th March 1874 sailing on The Waikato arriving in Wellington New Zealand on the 11th of July the same year. At the time most of the families seem to have disembarked in Wellington or Lyttelton and moved out to settle across the country.
