Read with much interest the "Cleland" part of the NZ Percy story. Joseph and Robert Cleland, Sons of Hugh and Mary from County Down arrived in NZ in 1858. The family have lived in the Hutt valley and Wellington areas since that time. There is reference to the Robert on my side of the family working in the family business in Lower hutt! I cant help feeling there is a family linkage between our two sets of Clelands ! My email address is; tandtwinter@yahoo.com Would you be able to help? Many Thanks Christine

Hi, it would seem that there could be a link. I will upload your post in case others can offer some further information.
