"Keith, kia ora
>From The Land of The Long White Cloud
I am trying to research our family history and have had a great deal of
enjoyment from visiting the Coleridge & Southey site. I tried unsuccessfully
to register.
I am a direct descendant of Capt Thomas Southey, R.N. and Sarah Castle.
Their daughter Sophia Southey according to our family history married Dr
Thomas Baker.
Arthur Southey Baker, the youngest son from this union emmigrated to New
Zealand in 1877. I descend from the only male line from Arthur, who was a
brother to Thomas Southey Baker a notable scholar and athlete from Oxford
who also emmigrated to NZ.
Any help or advice to further my research would be greatly appreciated.
