Auckland
Ship: 1245 tons
Captain: McDougall
Surgeon Superintendent: William M Stenhouse
Sailed Clyde July 31st 1875 - arrived Otago October 27th 1875
A noted ship of the Shaw Savill and
Albion Fleet was the Auckland, which, however, must not be confused with the ship City of
Auckland. The Auckland was one of the fastest and smartest ships afloat of her day. She
was built at Robert Duncan's yard in '74; was still classed 100 A1 at Lloyd's till wrecked
a few years ago. She was built and equipped with the best of everything procurable, and on
lines of perfect symmetry a thing of beauty and joy to the heart of any
sailorman.

| MCPHERSON family: Donald McPherson was born about 1829 in Nth Morar, Scotland and travelled to Dunedin on the Auckland in 1875 with his wife Jessie (Janet) nee Cameron who was born at sea when her parents sailed from Scotland to Australia in 1848. Their four children, Annie 6, Jessie 4, Allan 2 (my grandfather) and Mary aged 8 mths went with them. Donald's brother, Allan also emigrated to New Zealand - I do not know the date but assume it was about the same time. After working on the Waikakahi Estate in Sth Canterbury for four years the Waihao Forks Hotel was purchased. Six further children were born, Alexander (Alec) 1877, Catherine (Kitty) 1879, Martin 1880 - died 1882, Donald Gregory 1882, Martin Joseph 1884 and Christina (Teeny) about 1886. Donald Gregory became a doctor, played one match for the All Blacks in 1905 and later played several matches for Scotland. Donald and Janet (Jessie) later farmed in the same area.They were both buried in Waimate, Donald in 1906 and Janet in 1944. Descendants include the following names, McPherson, MacPherson, Macpherson, Matheson and Rendall. If you have a connection with this McPherson family or would like to know more please contact Marie Watson. |
