Edmund and Emma Fletcher emigrated to NZ and settled in North Canterbury, where their descendants still reside (perhaps you are one of them!). Emma nee Hopkins was a sister to my great grandfather William Hopkins who emigrated to NZ in 1860 and settled at Saltwater Creek, North Canterbury.

I have information about the Hopkins family if you are connected to "our" Edmund Fletcher and would like the information. If so, please send me a private message with your email address and I will contact you.
