Hi Marjorie.
My Camerons, John (b 1791) & Janet (b 1799) came out on the Blenheim in 1840 with their nine children:John(1814), Angus (1816), Charles (1820), Duncan (1823), Allen (1825), Ann (1828), Archibald (1831), Dugald (1833) & Marjory (1835) and settled in the Turakina area,Manawatu.
Extracts from the diary of a passenger, Jessie Campbell (wife of one of the officers I think) are on the NZ Clan Cameron web site http://www.wlg.nec.co.nz/~gcameronhttp://www.wlg.nec.co.nz/~gcameron and
full details of the shipping list of the Blenheim, which had about 60 Camerons aboard can be found at

If you want more detail on this Cameron family, please contact me back (likewise, if you already have heaps, I would also appreciate it if you would contact me!)
Thanks in anticipation & good luck,
