Thanks Geoff.

I searched the passenger lists of about 10 vessels that arrived in Nelson and didn't find the family.

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

I've tried the Nelson Museum site but the database only goes to 1850.

 

[horse]

Can only assume they went via Vic. then on to NZ in a separate boat, or similar?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Yeah, not seeing any with them on though

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I've now searched 5 vessels arriving Wellington in 1876 and no Bishell.

 

[DaveHam9]

You almost have to know the name of the vessel and the year.

I've emailed the Nelson Museum.

With the building of the new road, and the connection to the Tophouse road, travelling became much more pleasant … [car driven by] Basil Bishell, who provided a twice weekly service from Blenheim with fruit and vegetables to Murchison, back loaded with coal.
