I was asking my Grandmother about my homework on NZ Identity and history and she pulled out this big book about our family. In the book there were the original tickets and receipts for the ship "Margaret Galbraith" which my Great Great Grandad Philip Milburn and his family came to New Zealand on in 1879. My Great Great Grandad Philip was 5 years old when he came on the boat to Otago NZ. These tickets and receipts are very old and brittle - Mum was able to copy them for me to bring to school to share. My Great Great Grandad - had an article written about their journey here which I have read and it sounded pretty breathtaking! I feel very lucky to have seen and heard about these. The photo shows me with the photo copies of the ticket, receipt and article about the trip. Below is a copy of these for people to have a look at.
