Can't locate them at FamilySearch Archives NZ passenger records;
nor Ancestry's UK, Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960

The NZSG Kiwi Collection has Hillsborough Cemetery - Auckland burials.

This has additional information to that displayed in the Auckland Council record. It also includes address, where from, occupation. It also includes "Years in Province"

For Thomas Edward Mitchell, 1944 it has 30 years (= about 1914)
For Elizabeth Mitchell, 1958 it has 45 years (= about 1913).

Looking for the name of the ship. Possibly the family sailed from the UK via Germany and then to NZ. The "history" is they arrived in NZ on a German ship. Port of arrival unknown. Dates are between 1911 - 1914. They were in NZ at the outbreak of WW1.
Thanks...

Nope nothing there. I think the dates are a bit too late we are looking more like 1910ish

I wonder if there are any other "Mitchells" who have done their research..?
