Hello Paul
I am married to Robert Balmer (born 1968) whose Great-Great Grandfather was Robert Gordon Balmer.Robert Gordon Balmer was born in Lurgan, Armagh, Ireland on 3rd March, 1844 (died 4th October, 1899) and migrated to New Zealand in 1863.It is documented that he fought against the Maori's in 1863 & 64.In 1866 he married Sarah Anne Evans in Christchurch NZ.He had a sister and uncle (names unknown at this point) who continued to live in Christchurch after he and his wife migrated to Queensland (and later to Lismore, NSW).I can only assume that his uncle could have been a Balmer and possibly had a family of his own.He also had two brothers in Australia.I know it is an unusual name in NZ and thought maybe there could be some connection.......
