The Vincents of Canterbury came from a tradition of printing and when elder brother William arrived in Wellington, he got to work setting up a local newspaper. His younger brother headed to Christchurch and a tradition of printers in Canterbury began.
David Hughes was the first of his Hughes' line to enter New Zealand. He disembarked the Barque Cordelia about 13 October 1874. This date was the first mention of the Cordelia having arrived at Port Chalmers, Otago, from Liverpool, England.
For a time, it was believed there were two exclusive Carrick families in the Vincent family tree and this has since been refuted, but to understand it, one needs to understand how the two families come together.
