Hello Sarah
yes the father of the bankrupt :)
the Bickertons have been such a thorn in my side one of my many brick walls so i was thrilled to find the material about him in the newspapers .I had lost sight of them in Belfast and anywhere else too after a reference in 1860 street directory no DC 's found or anything like childrens births .
sorry must dash work beckons
kindest regards

Was he twice bankrupted and is that why he went to NZ?
But he was also brother in law to the first Mayor of Sydney, and a surgeon, but they both went under in the crash of 1843/1844.
How did they get to Ireland?
