National Library https://natlib.govt.nz/records/22467458
Karran, John, 1807-1841
John Karran (known to his descendants in New Zealand as Capt Daniel Carran) was born in Rushen, Isle of Man and married Elizabeth Jane Crebbin on the island in 1833. They arrived in the Bay of Islands in 1839 with their three eldest children and Elizabeth's illegimate son John. They settled at Mahurangi in 1841 but the same year Daniel was drowned at Manukau.

John Karran was not a captain. He and his family were Bounty immigrants.
The family travelled to Sydney from Liverpool on the Clyde, arriving 21 April 1840.
On the Clyde passenger list, he is down as John Kerron, 35, farm labourer, Protestant. Jane is shown as 30, a dairywoman. Both could read and write. The Clyde list in the NSW archives has John's age as 34. The bounty for John and Jane was 18 pounds each, for son John, 10 and 5 for the other three boys. A total of 61 pounds.

The Clyde travelled via Rio De Janeiro and around Cape Horn. I don't know how or when the family arrived in NZ but it seems it was 1840 or 1841. Daniel's brother, Henry Carran b 1838, is listed in the annotated version of "Roll of Early Settlers and Descendants in the Auckland Province prior to the end of 1852" as Henry Carran Jan 1840 ref Addresses to Sir George Grey p 164. His signature on this page was seen by Irene Bell at the Auckland Library in the Special Collections Room.
Daniel Carran married Agnes Mahoney b 1 June 1851 on Kawau Island. Her parents were James Mahoney and Agnes Craig. Agnes arrived with her siblings, father and stepmother on the Jane Gifford in 1842. Her father was Joseph Craig and her mother Agnes Allan. IRBE
As I explained before they came to Sydney as Bounty immigrants but ended up in NZ fairly soon after arrival. They are in the Sydney newspaper list but I did wonder if they left the ship in NZ on the way. The family stories give no clue. We were always told that the family came on a ship called the Clydersee, arriving in 1840 and that John drowned and the children grew up with the Maori on the Hokianga Harbour. My great aunt told this story about her father, but it wasn't until researching, that I found the ship was the Clyde and the mother, Jane survived. IRBE. John (Daniel) (KARRAN) Carran was baptized on 16 July 1809 in Rushen, Isle of Man, ENG.3 He immigrated to to BOI on the Clyde in 1840 NZPD has late 1839 previously had the ship as the Clydersee.1,4,3

DEATH OF MR.THOS. CHURCHES In the person of Mr. Churches, another old settler passed away at his residence, Ellerslie, on Thursday last. The deceased gentleman was born at Qodney, near Glastonbury Somerset, England,' in 1816, and was descended from an old yeoman family who had distinguished themselves as dairy farmers it . the famous Cheddar Valley. - In 1842 the. late Mr. Kempthorne engaged a large party to accompany him. to New Zealand, amongst that party Mr. Churches, his wife, and two children embarked. for Auckland, ; New Zealand, in the ship St. George, landing in Auckland in the year of embarkat|pn, viz. 1842. For a considerable time'the! deceased was engaged on Mr. Kempthofne's estate, situated near St. John's College,' and I on leaving "that gentleman's employ he' settled on a' piece of swampy land near the present site of the Presbyterian Church at West Tamaki, and as the result of indefatigable industry, assisted by his wife and his young family, the wilderness was speedily converted into one of the most productive farms in the Auckland provincial district. During his occupancy of the West Tamaki farm Mr. and Mrs. Churches devoted their attention very largely to high-class dairy farming, and on many occasions they secured all the valuable prizes for dairy produce at the Auckland Agricultural shows. Afar having secured a comparative compete, as the result of dawnright hard work, bjj, in 1886, paid a visit to the land of his birth. r . May, 1888, Mr. and Mrs. Churches celebrated their golden wedding at their West Tamaki residence, at which nearly 50 direct descendants of the venerable couple were present, together with a host of personal friends. About eight years ago Mr. and Mrs. Churches left the farm in possession of members of the family, and lived in retirement in a beautiful villa residence at Elk* lie. Mr. Churches for a number of ±-cjs prior to his decease suffered from defective sight, but his memory and intellectual facilities were as keen and bright as ever up to his latest hours. Though never taking many official positions in' public life, he took a keen interest in everything affecting the wellfare of his adopted country, and his criticism of public men in prose and rhyme showed a close insight into the whole of ineir actions.' At the ripe age of 82 he passed peacefully away, surrounded by his wife and a number of his children. He leaves a widow, eight daughters, six sons, 52 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren, all of whom are settled in the colony. Thomas Churches immigrated to arrived Auckland 1842 on the St George in 1842.1
