trying to find any info on a Martin O'Neill / o'neil
Born 1896 in parkes nsw Australia to John Joseph O'Neill and Sarah Murray
all we know about Martin is he went to New Plymouth New zealand
I can't find a death for him in Australia so may be he stayed in New zealand
Thanking you Lorraine

Sorry I do not know of a middle name , on NSW birth deaths & marriages most of the children are not shown to have middle names yet they show up on the Deaths
so it could be him

[Note: Archives at Christchurch currently closed due to the recent earthquake - the website though carries updates on the situation. ]

Hi again
Can see a marriage for your Martin (though it's after the 1931 cut-off date which means details can't be posted in this thread.) :(
There is a probate file too, for his wife (also at Christchurch Archives).
O'NEILL - Amelia Sarah - Runanga - widow - 1985
