Research findings
- Arrival: James McAllister family — Peter Denny, Glasgow → Otago, 25 Aug-25 Nov 1875
Rainer's 'Peter Denny' clue led directly to this find — the ship was named after Peter Denny of the Denny Brothers Clyde shipbuilding family. Co-subjects: Agnes Laidlaw (wife @I12945232556@) + William McAllister (son @I12945232540@). All overseas-born McAllister/Laidlaw children also on this voyage. Confirms the wider Scottish-Southland cluster: this is the 12th confirmed NZ arrival ship in our findings. Full manifest with ages verified independently via Yesteryears + Bluff Genealogy sources. The ship arrived BLUFF (not Otago/Port Chalmers) per these sources — earlier agent reported Otago which is the regional designation; specific port was Bluff (Southland gateway).
