Dublin / Re: FREE LOOK UP FOR DUBLIN, IRELAND.
« on: Friday 11 March 05 16:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Kate, I am trying to trace my g.g.mother Ellen Mcgrath. The only info I have is marriage and death certs.  She married Daniel Addis at Auckland N.Z. in 1848 but have no idea how the family got to N.Z.  Birth date appears to be around 1822 in
Dublin.  Daniel was a british soldier who went to Australia 1n 1841 as escort on a convict ship.  It appears that quite a few Irish families were sent to Australia and I wondered if they may have been among them and then went to N.Z., rather than emigrating to N.Z. direct. Ellen's father was John Mcgrath, a contractor.  I really don't know where to start and hope you may have some ideas?
Many thanks, Topsy 1010.

Hi lalm, thanks a lot for your info, will certainly have a go. Unfortunately I have no other information other than the marriage date in Auckland. I have no idea when she arrived in N.Z. or by what means. I have a copy of her death certificate which gives father's name as John Mcgrath, contractor but that is all, so I don't know when the family arrived.  I have tried Irish immigration in Dublin but so far no luck, still will keep trying. 
Many thanks, Topsy 1010

Hi Janet,
Many thanks for replying to my request, I will certainly try what you suggest. Irish records are difficult as a lot of them were destroyed by fire in the 1920's. This is why I am trying to trace Ellen's arrival in NZ and work back. 
Many thanks,
Topsy

New Zealand Completed Requests / ADDIS family in N.Z.
« on: Monday 23 August 04 12:34 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace my british roots through great grandparents Daniel Addis and Ellen Mcgrath.  Have traced Daniel,s birth to London but am having problems with Ellen, so maybe there are some N.Z. records which show when she arrived there.  She was born in Dublin around 1822 and married Daniel at St. Patricks Church in Auckland on March 1st. 1848.  Death cert. shows father as John Mcgrath, contractor.  Is there any way I can find how and when they arrived in N.Z.  Any help appreciated, thanks.
