Hello Vera.
I note that you are descended from Elizabeth Campbell. Is this the same
Elizabeth Campbell who arrived in NZ with her step father Patrick McCrory
on the Ann in 1848. Patrick is my great grandfather and I have only recently
started to research his connection with the Fencibles. An information you
may have will be appreciated. Thanks Dave Coyle
