Hurrah another success!  "like messages in bottles dropped into the ocean"  is how my wise mother describes doing genealogical research.  After a clue obtained 40 years ago about an Australian/New Zealand relation, I made some good progress in researching same with help of Ancestry ships records and online voting registers.  This ground to a halt some 3 years ago but a chance message to a Skype user turned up trumps this week and confirmed my research as correct.
