They came to New Zealand in 1877 on the ship Waikato from Inverness Scotland.They left my Grandfather Richard and his sister Euphemia with people in Christchurch to look after sayiny they would return for them but never did this was in the mid 1880. Greatfull for any help.
: Graham Gollan G/Grandson
My Great grandmother was Jane Gollan. She was born in Lanark,Scotland in 1844. Her father was Alexander Gollan who was born in 1790 and died on 13 april 1867 in Newmarket, Auckland. I do not know Alexander's wife's name. They emigrated on the Gypsey in 1854.
Jane married my great grandfather, Thomas William Freeman in Auckland in 1862, and died in 1925.
I don't think thjey are the same family as yours but it is a coincidence is it not.
Regards
Maurie Small
