Hi all I am trying to trace a JAMES WHITE, born in Scotland 7th August 1847. He was married to a Isobella Thompson also born in 1847 I Scotland. These people are my wifes greatgrandparents, and I have just started to compile her tree so any help would be great. This pair emergrated to New Zealand, where I live, sometime before December 1882 because that was when my wifes grandmother was born here in New Zealand.
