As far as my research tells me these are the only FROUDEs who came to and lived in New Zealand before 1900.

In addition there was a visit to New Zealand by the famous Historian, James Anthony FROUDE, who arrived here on the 3rd March 1885. See here.

 David FROUDE's wife, Margaret Jane (nee AGNEW) and daughter Margaret Jane FROUDE appear to have come out to New Zealand accompanied by David's brother, Robert.

John (1830), Robert (1837) and David (1830) FROUDE are brothers and nephews of Jane FROUDE and possibly it were her letters back to the family that inspired them to set off for New Zealand.

Robert FROUDE (1851), was a nephew of John, David and Robert, being the son of their brother, Thomas (1827). Robert's (1851) wife, Sarah Ann DEAN came out with their four youngest daughters on a separate voyage to Robert. Robert arrived in New Zealand on the 21 March 1881, and sent word back for the family to come out. Sarah Ann and children departed from London on January 14 1882 and arrived in Auckland on the 1st May 1882. It must have been quite a task for Sarah, getting all the children from the Manchester area, where they lived, across to London to catch the voyage of the Remington. Then there was the long voyage coping with children who were six, four and two years old together with baby Lillian, and no husband to help her.

The picture below shows the "Remington" photographed several years after their voyage, and by this time owned by a Norwegian company.
