I have a bit of info on Wright Babe who came out to NZ Jan 8th 1863 on the ship Corangoram with 2nd wife Ann Eliza with William Edward and 2 daughters from first marriage and the second family of 6 children.Is this the person you are wanting information on.

Go to paperspast.natlib.govt.nz, then Southern Cross, Thurs 8th Jan 1863, page 3 and you'll find the 'Cairngorms' arrival. I'm also a Babe descendant, through Wright's son, Benjamin, whose daughter Muriel was my grandmother. I have some info on the family, feel free to contact me off-forum and we can compare notes. Sue.
