Answer 1

Hi Christine

I have changed the year to 1858. New link is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Jeanie_Dove%2C_sailed_March_1858.

Do you have a source for the 22 December 1857 date? There is a source for the 15 March 1858 arrival date. 

Is it possible that there was two voyages close together?

No, I have this comment and it might be wrong.

Helen and James arrived in New Zealand from Melbourne, Australia 1857 having left there aboard the "Jeannie Dove' on 22 Dec 1857 (Victoria to New Zealand Passengers 1852 - 1880). With them were three children - James aged 4, Helen aged 21 months, and Mary Ann aged 7.
James Honeyman was aged 31 years and his wife, Helen Miller, was aged 29.

Thanks  for that. I will use the new link.
