« on: Sunday 19 August 12 21:23 BST (UK)  »
I have by chance come across your message after inserting Killure into Google.
I am part of this family and live in Scotland. My grandmother was Susannah McAleese the sister of William who went to NZ. She remained in Greenock where she died in 1980 at the age of 97. She was widowed in her 40s and brought up 4 children( 3female,1male). One daughter remains well at 88 and lives in England. I am the daughter of Elizabeth who died in 2008.
Susannah's sister Lizzie also remained in Greenock. She had 5 sons - all dead. John who saw William off to NZ went to Bournemouth where he died. He had 1 daughter. Our family had no contact with her.
I am v interested in hearing more.

I need help with finding out any information on William James McAleese who married John and Nancy's daughter Agnes Adams Leese. William's parents are James McLese and Ann Robinson of Killure, Coleraine. Williams was born 28/3/1876 in Killure and he died in New Zealand in 1938. We know all about his NZ family but not much back from there.

We would like any info on James and Ann and their families. We have no dates for anything for them

We know William and Agnes left for NZ from Largs with their 4 children in 1926 and that Williams brother john want to see them off.

Thanks

 Are you part of the family?
