Arrivals in New Zealand

I have known as long as I can remember that most of the family lines arrived in Otago in the 19th century, and for some we knew a bit more but recently I have wondered more about why they came. They were not writers or diarists that I know of so finding the stories is a a matter of piecing together what scant evidence there is and imagining what their stories might be. Where did they come from? Most came from various places in Scotland, and one line from England. The next posts will look at those who arrived some with quite a lot of information and others not so much but hope that family may be able to add to it.
