Hi, I have been searching for Roderick connections in New Zealand as well and noticed some coomon factors in our family history. Could there be a conection?
Our research shows;
In about 1830 Emmanual Rodriguz & his 3 sons sailed their 2 ships from Portugal to New zealand. One of those sons was Francis (B 1818) who married in 1842 Elizabeth Hawkins (from Malta). There first son John was born in N.Z. and then they moved to Australia and had another 7 children. James b1847,Hannah 1848 Antony 1854 Emmanuel 1856 Joseph 1858 Andrew 1859 & Edward 1863.
Antony seem to drop the e out of his surname and his descendants areRodrick.
I have more information on 8 children and there families.
