Yes, sorry should have put Ireland. That is the correct family. My mother was the youngest born 1920. Any further info regarding Elizabeth's family background would be great thank you.

Searching any info re Elizabeth Blackburn died Ireland 1936. Don't know where she was born or anything of her family background, but she lived at "Three Trees" Londonderry and had 7 children with James.

Hi Brad,
 Great to get your message. My link to this family comes through Nicholas and Johanna's daughter, Elizabeth Taylor Thomas, who was my great- grandmother. I am still trying to find out when she came to NZ and who came with her.
Funny, your name is Thompson. Elizabeth married a James Thompson in NZ in 1901 after having umpteen children, the eldest of whom was my grandmother. My grandparents died in the 1940's before I was born, so didn't know much about the family history and still am peicing it all together and phew, it just gets bigger and bigger. So our connection must be cousins several times removed???
Cheers Heather.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Elizabeth Thompson

Having just joined this site to research my family I came upon all this info re Elizabeth Thompson (nee Taylor) who was my great grandmother. I had very little information about the Thompson family other than my father (James Henry) was the 6th child of Elizabeth and James Thompson's eldest daughter Elizabeth Gilmour. I have visited the family plot at Havelock North where several of the family are buried, but did not realise Elizabeth and James had so many children. Great to get all this info from this site, thanks.

Hi Nik, thanks for your email. This is all new info to me so will look into the ship arrival and fire. It will be interesting to see if this is the same family, my only info comes from the details on my great grandmothers death certificate, giving her parents names, stating she was born in Cornwall, England, and married at age 20 in Lyttleton, South Island NZ, had resided in NZ for 67 years, died age 83years in 1934.
Thank you for searching this query.
Cheers, Heather
