Martha Meredith was a 2nd cousin of mine, would love any info you have on the family, please.

From my unverified notes the family arrived in Lyttleton, NZ on 1 Feb 1878 on the "Carnatic" (ship somewhat in doubt). This fits in with the mass baptisms 28 Oct 1877.

Take your pick - two Thomas Jordans, first one probably died, can't find burial atm.

Hi Nicola. I am related to the above mentioned. I am the great great granddaughter to the Jordans. I have a little information that I am happy to pass on.

Denise.
