i believe my grand father Cyril Bennett (born 1906) left the UK from Southampton and sailed to Wellington New Zealand on board the ship The Ruahine. Departure date 12/3/1925.

He originally lived @ 28 Claremont Rd. Newcastle Upon Tyne. I'm seeking advice on how to track him following arrival in New Zealand and to find his descendants.
Thanks
