I am researching my ancestor Peter Clissold born 1827 Minchinhampton, son of Richard and Sarah.Particularly interested in his movements thought to have emigrated to the USA, then to NZ. Any help would be much appreciated

Regarding his movements, have you tried any USA and NZ sites?

If it's previous history of the family, what are you hoping for?

I have tried onegreatfamily,and bdmregisters, but don't know where to go to find details of his movements from the time he left England to the time he arrived in NZ. Have plenty of information from his time in Nelson until his death in 1900. Do you know of any site to find passenger lists from the UK to USA? I don't know for sure how he got to NZ, but his wife Sarah's death certificate says they were married in America.I would like to find as much out about his and Sarah's life prior to arriving here in Nelson.

I can give nothing for certain but suggest that, http://www.genuki.org.uk/ which has a wealth of info., might hold some guidance.

Good luck
