Constantine Edward ("Tino") Zohrab, son of Peter Thomas Henry Zohrab, was born in 1837/1838*, and married Edith Wills in 1868. On 1 July 1862, he was the first Zohrab to embark (on the City of Hobart) from Melbourne, Australia, for Port Chalmers (Dunedin), in the South Island of New Zealand, to join the goldrush. He died in 1897 in Wellington, in the North Island of New Zealand. They had nine daughters and two sons -- Edward Goodwin Fortescue ("Fort") and Constantine Ernest Henry Zohrab.
