Welch in Wairarapa, Wellington area, New Zealand ====================================== An ancestor of mine (or a sibling of) by the name of Robert Porter Welch was born in Somerset in or about 1808, and emigrated to New Zealand 1854 and settled at Wairarapa as a sheep farmer, despite his early training as a doctor. I would be glad to communicate with anyone who knows the area, or has knowledge of Robert Welch, his family or his descendants.
