Hi Nicole,
I have for some years been researching Magnus as he is my great grandfather.We still have the family farm at Pakiri in NZ and although my records are in storage I would love to compare information with you.
I had Catherine's name (from memory) as King
I believe he arrived in NZ some time around 1880 and always heard he "jumped" ship so wondered if that is why I have had trouble trying to locate his parents and birth place so your message was very exciting!
Magnus had the 4 children, Annie (Katie), William, Ruby & John (Anders) who was my grand father and a wonderful man.Katie I remember fairly well as I was quite young when she died but William & Ruby died before my time.
Anders was married to Joan Bremner and had 2 children - Quayne & Jeannette (my mum).
