Issac and Ann Bryan (née Collett) came out to Canterbury on the Cressy in 1850.

In 1856 their sons Henry and William also came here from Australia. Isaac and Ann Bryan and their growing family settled first in Kaiapoi, then Oxford, then Reefton. Issac was a bushman, and was killed by a tree in 1886.
