Hi Deborah,
I have done some digging and although I still cannot give you the info you need I can give you the early family tree of the first settlers of the Hodgkinson family to which I am related and that settled close to and later around Nelson New Zealand.
Germain George Hodgkinson was born in the parish of Greasly, Hill Top, Nottinghamshire 18.9.1803. Him and his wife Mary Ann left England for New Zealand in 1842. They had three children born in England that emmigrated with them George, Emma, and Lydia and settled in Wakefield. Children born in New Zealand were Edmund, Thomas, Alfred, Reuben, Mary Anne, Eliza Ann, Matilda, Evelyne, and John William. Reuben is my great Grandfather and my Grandfathers name is Rolland. I know Rolland also had brothers but even my Mother is not clear on their names so have not got any details yet on these or any children. I will however keep you in mind and if I do dig up any connections to Germain George's family tree that connect with your enquiry I will post another message informing you of any findings.
Good luck on your search.
