LADY NUGENT
07·05·1850
The ship Lady Nugent brought 77 immigrants
in 1850. One of the passengers came to erect
a steam powered saw mill, flour mill and
threshing machine, which were on the ship
along with the men to run them. Another man,
Mr Tollemache, was the owner of 37
allotments of land in Nelson and had other
properties in other settlements. As with many
other arrivals, the Lady Nugent added to the
McRae family who had arrived on the Mary
Anne. William and Sarah were from Ireland
and joined his brother George in farming in the
Wakefield area. They went on to own large
areas of land in North Canterbury. Also on
board, Mr and Mrs Robert Godley went on to
help settle the new province and make their
home in Canterbury .
