There are a number of Blayneys that came to New Zealand, most of whom I have very little information about, other than my own line and Job Blayney.
[1] Blayneys descended from Thomas Blayney born 1754
and Priscilla Sargeant born 1775 both of London.
Including:
Alexander & Rebecca Blayney from London,
= my paternal great grandparents.
[My mother's parents were Ernest and Arley Potter]
Walter Blayney of Bethnal Green (London), = an cousin of Alexander, emigrating to Auckland in 1884 on the Manapouri. He died unmarried.
[2] Blayneys descended from Job Blayney of Atchan, England. who emigrated in 1909 to NZ where he worked as a grocer in Hawera (amazing coincidence as this is where I live).
Captain Charles Edward Blayney MC
John Roberts & son Don Blayney
[3] Blayneys descended from David Blayney born 1844, Dromore,
Co Tyrone, Ireland
David Blayney, born 1908, who emigrated to Auckland
Blayney-Sproule-Steele to NZ Blayney-Somerville
[4] NZ BLANEYS
[4a] Captain John Blaney
[4b] James Blaney from Scotland
[4c] Thomas BLANEY father of Edward James of Co. Down, Ireland
[5] a Māori BLAINE family
[6] "Loose end" BLAYNEYS
[2] Job Blayney born 1864 Atchan, England
Job BLAYNEY, born in 1864 at Atchan, England was the son of Thomas BLAYNEY (1820-1875) and Margaret JONES of Montgomeryshire, Wales. Job married Lily Emma Wilmot in 1889 at Lambeth, England and died in New Zealand in 1917. They emigrated (immigrated from my view) arriving 4Dec1909 on the SS Papanui, moving to Hawera, in Taranaki (where I live) where they ran a grocery on the corner of High Street and Wilson St.
Captain Charles Edward BLAYNEY, moved with his parents from England to Hawera in 1909, Taranaki NZ but then moved up to Auckland. He returned to the UK during WWI to serve in the Royal Flying Corps, where he earned a Military Cross. He son (Peter) states that "He became a brave and resourceful aviator, saw much action and won the Military Cross." Charles returned to NZ and married Myrtle Alice Goodwin of Hawera in 1919. [156]. He Worked for a farmers co-op, then it looks like he become a BSA Factory representative in Wellington (advertising in 1926) [1510]. He flew seaplanes as a hobby but in 1929 returned to England and "got a better job", based in Sydney. Furthermore it turns out that his son is none other than the NZ born Australian artist Peter Michael BLAYNEY -see [151].
John Roberts BLAYNEY also moved with his parents from Hawera to Devonport, set up home in Mt Eden, Auckland. He married Rita May Clark and they adopted three children, the youngest being none other than Don BLAYNEY (see photo to right), "famous" UFO witness [see Internet linkUFO Roundup], ex-Policeman, now a Director of Campus Security NZ Ltd (Albany, north of Auckland) [157]. Don was the second highest polling candidate in the 2004 Elections for the Albany Community Board, North Shore City Council.
I have speculated that Don is my 6th cousin (common ancestor being Thomas BLAYNEY, the wheelwright of Llanllwchaiarn born between 1675 and 1695 and dying 1761.)

[5] Māori BLAINE (BLANE) family
The surname "BLAINE" could be derived from a misspelling of Blayney or have it's own origin such as:
The son of the disciple of Blaan or Blane (the lean), an early Scottish saint
aka Blaan buadach Breton, (Triumphant Blaan of the Britons).
Blane gave name to Kilblane in Southend, Kintyre, and to Dunblane.
The Blaine Surname Distribution Map however shows vey few "Blaine" surnames in use in Scotland. [1675][1676]
Derived from Blayney or Blaney names from Ulster (Ireland), [but not the Lords Blayney as they had no male descendants] [1677].
See Origin.html for a researched discussion on the origin of the "Blayney" name.
1 John BLAINE b.1829 (Cumberland, England); d.25Sep1895 (Thames, Waikato, NZ)
His obituary named him as a "Thamcaite" (?resident of Thames?) and prospector but
gave his birth as 1839, that he was a horse and cattle dealer in the "old country",
emmigrating about 1859 to continue stock dealing until the Thames goldrush.
On 12Jun1885 filed to be adjudged a Bankrupt.
John learned Te Reo Māori which helped with negotiations "with the natives"
From 1888 he prospected in the Urewera which was hard on his health, and refused
hospital care when he developed pneumonia. Alternatively "disappeared at sea" [1669]

Tamairaki subsequently lived with sealer John James Holmes (1816-1900) the step-father of Mary Susan.
James Holmes left Tamairaki and she then married John Owen in 1839]
Mary Susan "married" three times:
(a) Joseph William RIGBY (1822-1858); m.7Jun1852 (Petane, Napier) with whom she had three children:
[George (1853-1910), William Henry (Wremu Henare) (1855-1909), then Henry (1857-67) RIGBY.]
(b) John Bentinck BLAINE (1829-1895); m.19Jan1859 (Napier)
