    About the Book

    Edit

    We are the descendants of six courageous people who took the long and dangerous voyage from Britain to New Zealand in the 19th century. Jabez and Mary Milner were the first to arrive, with their infant daughter Agnes, at Lyttleton in July 1861. Samuel Wood Sr. came ashore in Wellington in July 1873. Thomas and Ann Hurley sailed into Lyttleton Harbour, and into quarantine, a family of 10, in February 1875. The last to arrive was Lyttleton Packer, a crew member of the barque Sarco in 1878. None of these families would return to their homeland.

    History teaching was my job but also my passion. There is no better way of learning history than traveling to the site where it happened. As a teacher at a Bangkok international school for 20 years I was very fortunate to be so close to some of history's great sites, and even more fortunate that the wonderful students were keen to take history trips and make them so enjoyable. Since retirement I have had the great privilege of researching and writing family history and meeting some amazing people who are a part of my wider family.
