Hi lnr,
The NZ Society of Genealogists has a Pedigree Collection entry for Michael RODDEN, Place Clonfert GAL IRL. Date: c'1865. Record Type: Birth. REF: PED711097
I suggest you contact the NZSG because it seems likely that descendants may have done research on the family and may still be around.
You might also consider contacting the Otago Settlers Museum (google search) as well.
regards, riley

michael rodden did have a daughter Ellen but she didn't marry John Holloway (my grandfather). John Holloway married an Ellen Rodden who was the daughter of Mary and Patrick. I think perhaps Michael and Patrick were brothers as they seem to have named their children similar names - family names perhaps.
