	Hi Peter: You could try looking through this site: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~canns/ Some of my ancestors were in Ontario, Canada around that time, and there weren't many records. I believe Nova Scotia has even fewer records. Cape Breton: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~capstick/ Have you tried googling various combinations of words: Gunn Haswell "Cape Breton" Robert's occupation

	Robert Haswell and his wife Christina (nee Gunn) arrived in New Zealand in December 1856 from Nova Scotia with their 9 children (un-named in shipping list (ship = Gertrude)). Their youngest daughter Christina Annie married in Auckland 1870. Any ideas on how I can research them in Nova Scotia????? They seem to be from St Anne's/Cape Breton if this helps Peter
