William Shields arrived in Dunedin on July 30, 1861 on the ship Stormcloud Elizabeth Muir arrived in Invercargill in 1863. Both William and Elizabeth were from Lanarkshire, Scotland. h28skipper - 2019-04-11 12:59:00 |
| 6 | Yes thanks h28skipper, William was born in Scotland in 1836 to Thomas and Agnes Shields in Larnarkshire, but I don't know much about his life in Scotland before he arrived in Dunedin. herby10 - 2019-04-11 13:16:00 |

Have you checked any censuses? What did the entry for his emigration have as to his occupation? shanreagh - 2019-04-11 14:06:00 |

| 13 | Not sure that is our Agnes as she was born 24th Feb 1791, so age isn't right, thanks but the information is correct on William, which I did have, thanks for your help. Edited by herby10 at 8:54 pm, Thu 11 Apr herby10 - 2019-04-11 20:52:00 |

So a bit older than her husband then? According to 1841 census he was born about 1799/1800. Where have you got the date of birth from? shanreagh - 2019-04-11 21:42:00 |

Glasgow Yes I saw that. I just wanted to know how they had established that this one was 'their' one. I could not find a child in the family (in the census result above) named Jean or David and often in Scottish families at the time that would be unusual. They may have died young of course. shanreagh - 2019-04-12 09:17:00 |

Thank you for this ,I know Thomas was meant to have been married 3 times, so I wasn't sure Agnes was the mother of all of William's siblings, this would confirm she was. herby10 - 2019-04-13 13:12:00 |
| 21 | The sister of my great grandmother married William Shields. She was a Wylie from the west of Scotland, and would have been born about 1820. I'm being vague because I need to find the details and I will if it seems likely. They had a son, William as well. blackhalls - 2019-04-16 22:46:00 |
