Hi, I would be grateful for any information on James Selkirk Jack who with his wife Mary Elizabeth ( nee Dewar, born 1841, Scotland) and family emigrated to NZ. They are living on the Isle of Man on the 1871 census with their children- Emma age 4, John D- age 2, Betsy age 6 months all born Isle of Man.

I have found other children from other family trees on Ancestry - George Jack born 1872, Isle of Man and also May Jack born 1879 NZ and Eva Claire Jack born 1880 NZ. So it seems that they emigrated between 1872 and 1879.

Any information on them would be much appreciated.
Mary Elizabeth Jack (nee Dewar) is my 1st cousin 4 x removed.
Thanks,
Jane
