I understand that although Henry was listed as an agricultural labourer, he worked as a butcher in Wellington before becoming a sea captain. I would be keen to understand this transition in employment. Apparently his vessel came to grief ?in Wellington, and he and Mary moved to Auckland where they eventually settled on Waiheke Island. JBOY. He had person sources.5 He was a carrier in 1841.1 He immigrated to ENG to NZ on the Catherine Stewart Forbes arriving NZ 24/6/1841 on 5 February 1841.6
