Have you tried looking for matches Stephen? Use 'search all trees' from search box above.
I suggest you edit your posting and put 'New Zealand' in your heading.

Just a quick note - had a look for Hignells in NZ & Oz on White Pages, but nothing showing as far as I can tell.

Also - make sure he is in your tree too. Even if you have no success looking for him now, it's quite possible someone else will also start looking for connections one day!
Hope you find him, we can't have Brummies getting lost in foreign parts can we.

Just a thought - did you only send the automatic message that asks to see the other persons tree?

If so, you might not get a reply....???

It is best to delete that message and type in one of your own saying who you are looking for and giving dates and places etc.
