BOY IMMIGRANTS TO NEW ZEALAND
1911
THE SEDGWICK BOYS
Three groups of fifty boys were brought to New Zealand as young immigrants before the outbreak of the First World War. They were brought out to alleviate a shortage of farming boys and were to be trained in all aspects of farming life as well as to be clothed and fed. Their wages were to be paid to the Labour Department while they were given weekly pocket money.
The first group of boys were organised by Thomas Edward Sedgwick of London, and arrived in Wellington on the 25 January 1911 on board the ss Athenic.
Twenty five of these boys were from Liverpool and the other twenty five from the East End of London. Upon arrival the boys were then sent on to various parts of New Zealand to work as farm hands under the care of the Labour Department. Newspaper reports do not list the boys at all but they are referred to generically as the 'Sedgwick Boys'. For further information see SEDGWICK BOYS. Thomas Sedgwick also took a group of fifty boys to Ontario, Canada in 1912 - see SEDGWICK BOYS TO ONTARIO - 1912.
Another group of 50 boys arrived in Auckland on board the ss AYRSHIRE on the 20 January 1914, and yet another fifty arrived in Auckland on the 1 March 1914 on board the ss SUFFOLK.
These boys were also often referred to as Sedgwick Boys though strictly they were not as they were under a Labour Department scheme based on Sedgwick's scheme.
None of the boys were named in the Department of Labour yearly returns to the AJHR's (Appendix to the Journals of the House of Representatives) and according to research by Anne Lemon in 1984 on the original Sedgwick boys, the Labour Department files were destroyed in the Hope Gibbons Building fire in Wellington in 1952.
Lists have been made from the passenger lists - see Ancestry - UK Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960.
Many of the boys signed up for service during the First World War, as well as appear in the UK census records, which has made tracing them slightly easier. For the New Zealand Military Files marked On Line see - ARCHIVES NEW ZEALAND
