CUMMING FAMILY
Peter, the son of Andrew CUMMING and Jane MURDOCH, was born on April 9th 1849 at Inveresk, Musselburgh, Scotland. His wife Eliza SHEPHERD, born 18th February 1854 at Littleport, Cambridge, England, was the daughter of John SHEPHERD and Ann WISEMAN. Peter and Eliza were married on July 28th 1869 in West Calder, Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1874 they emigrated with their two children Andrew and Annie to New Zealand on this sailing of Strathnaver. They travelled around the South Island before settling on the West Coast and Peter, a miner, also went to Tasmania and Melbourne before returning to the West Coast. In all Peter and Eliza had 14 children. Eliza died at Westport on 10th September 1926 and Peter died at Wellington June 26th 1929. Both are buried in the Orawaiti Cemetery, Westport. In 1879 Peter's two brothers, William and John together with their wives Christina and Jane FLEMING (both sisters) came to NZ and, after being in the Canterbury area, settled on the West Coast as well.
