The year of arrival of the other two ships was 1863 and the paper was "Lyttleton Times" ... it is page 78 from W.H.R. Dale Album, from the Canterbury Museum N.Z. unfortunately the beginning of the article would be on page 77 but here are the Folk from Scotland ... the other two ships on the same page list passengers but do not give where they are from.
