Hello Roberta,
Looking at the emigration advertisements in the Londonderry and Belfast newspapers of the 1850s-80s offering passages to New Zealand it is apparent that intending emigrants were required to make their way across to depots in Glasgow, Liverpool and London to embark for direct passages to New Zealand. This was not a major undertaking as there were many daily ferry crossings “across the water”. Hope this helps, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Londonderry Standard March 17 1866 [cid:image001.jpg@01D54D26.78E5F4D0] Londonderry Journal September 12 1863 [cid:image002.jpg@01D54D26.A6F110D0] Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 ________________________________ From: CoTyroneList <cotyronelist-boun...@cotyroneireland.com> on behalf of Joseph McNulty via CoTyroneList <cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 7, 2019 7:26:10 AM To: support staff@nochex. com <cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com> Cc: Joseph McNulty <robertajmcnu...@aol.com> Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Emigration to New Zealand My great great uncle emigrated to New Zealand in about 1880 from Brackey a townland near Omagh County tyrone. Where would he have sailed from in ireland? Did ships leave from Ireland for New Zealand or would they go to Australia first and then to New zealand. I had been told he had emigrated to Australia but have found he was living in New Zealand.
