Hi Juana,

Was this THE Rev. Norman McLeod who sailed from St. Anns to Australasia in
1851?

If it is the same one, then I think you'll find a lot on info online. Try
Olwyn Whitehouses "New Zealand Bound" site

Even if your Norman was not the Rev. maybe he was related. Rev. Norman
arrived at Pictou on the Frances Ann in 1817, but I remember from a
websearch a few years ago reading about the migration from Pictou to St.
Anns, and 1820's rings a bell.
