Thanks Tara, Jack and Moderator for your help. I will follow up on your thoughts. There is no family to ask  for clues,  I am trying to do this from the 'mother' name on my birth certificate. Cheers Paul

Ireland / Bruce family of Kinnitty 1700-
« on: Thursday 11 October 12 06:33 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find more about Jonathan Bruce (B1845?) and Johanna (Mcgrath) (B1839?) Bruce of Kinnitty, Offally. They had 10 children, Robert B1857- , Mary B1859-D1940, Anne B1860,  John B1861, Hanna B1863-D1955, Samuel Caron (My direct link) B1865-D1941, Sarah B1867, Frances B1869, Johanna B1869, Anne B1872.  All were born in Kinnitty. Samuel Caron moved to New Zealand and my line is from him. I am looking for Jonathan and Johanna's lines. Thanks Paul

Dear Mike, Yes Ambrose came straight to NZ and had 5 children with wife Esther (Marshall) here. Their daughter Emma Anne Cant  married Samuel Caron Bruce in 1892 in Christchurch NZ. Samuel Caron Bruces Father was Jonathan Bruce B1838, from either Kinnitty Ireland or Glasgow, Scotland and his mother was Johanna (McGrath) B1839. Alot of work to go on that one I think. Thank you for your help on the Cants, I will join seax and look in Alphamstone. Cheers, Paul

Hi Mike, thank you for the offer. It will be a big breakthrough for me as I have only started this family research recently. I will sort out the best questions and get back to you. I am in NZ so all help is very much appreciated. Thanks again, Paul
