| Notes |
- The Roll of Early Settlers & Descendents in the Auckland Province prior to the end of 1852 (held in the Auckland City Library records "Lander, Mrs J., nee Rebecca Ann Berry, 1829-1906 as having arrived on the Rectus, Kororareka 1839" This person is certainly our subject but there another Rebecca BERRY recorded in the same publication as having arrived on the Venturess 1837. This person needs to be verified as not a subject for our Family Tree.
Rebecca's Death Registration shows "If issue living,state Number, Age, and Sex" - 3 males 56 46 41 5 Females" Note: This could relate to John Christopher Lander b. 1850, Sarah b 1852 and Mary Anne b 1855 thus missing other males b. 1860 and 1865 and 3 Females.
