hello James Cochnaghan,my mother was one of the six children you mentioned.My nameis Richard O'Donnell(son of Mary Boyle Wilson).Mum married my father William Gartshore O'Donnell in Greenock on 11/7/1945 at Saint Lawrence in Greenock.They had five children born Scotland then around 1956 they emmigrated to Wellington New Zealand where they had another three children.I have just started to try and trace my family and really having trouble with my grandmother.Spent most of this day searching for her and just as I was finishing up thought I would just post her name on the internet and came across your blog.Straight away I went the Rootchat that you mentioned so now hoping this novice researcher may get some help which I desperately need.Get in touch if you feel like it can not help you much as I have just started this researching.Yours sincerely,Richard O'Donnell
