I always thought that Alice Muriel Irwin and Ethel Irwin were sisters but now I don't know what to think as I just been given a letter written by Arthur Bevan Wheeler who talks about visiting his Aunt Ethel who married Auber Bruno Keyes.
Everything that he has mentioned in his letter has proved to be correct except Ethel.
I have Alice Muriel Irwin and Auber Bruno Keyes marriage print out from NZ BDM so now I am thinking like mentioned on this post that Alice Muriel Irwin was known as Ethel, however I have a approx. birth year of 1896 for Ethel and another child Ada Irwin 1906 for the life of me I cannot find any record of were these two names and dates came from.

This is getting very interesting, two things I do know for sure is that Eliza Jane and Sarah Keyes are my family members, I also have Sarah Keyes and John Currie's marriage cert (I will try to attach to this posting) so I am reasonably happy with them, now when it comes to Joseph you are starting to make me wonder for the following reasons.
1. Joseph and Eliza separated and lived apart (not a big one in todays world but back then was not all that common as by then they had two kids).
2. Joseph ended up digging gum in the North and by what I can gather died with not too much to his name were John done very well for himself (again not a biggie as I know this does happen within families).
3. On Josephs death print out his fathers name is listed as Adam Currie, on John & Sarah's marriage cert John's father is listed as Edward Currie however on his death print out it is listed as Adam Currie at this point I am confused if they don't know their fathers name what show have I got.
I thought and might have jumped to conclusions that John & Joseph were brothers perhaps they were cousins or some other Currie family all together, my gut feeling tells me no they are brothers.
I am not too sure what info that you have on Joseph and John but I will try to attach what I have to this posting.

The following link will take you to the paper cutting were I picked out LuLu Currie

I hope you can understand why I am confused and can shine some light on the subject, I would like to obtain Joseph's marriage and birth info and Johns Birth info and this would I hope clear there fathers name up.
I have the same problem with Sarah as on her marriage cert it lists her father as John Keys this is not correct should be George must have been too much wine flowing.

Have a look at my web site on the following link opening at the Currie surname list: http://homepages.vodafone.co.nz/~noelkeyes/names3.htm#currie.

Still looking into see if William Thomas Currie was a brother to John & Joseph, can anyone confirm this.
I have found the graves in the Otahuhu Cemetery as below and as luck happens I am traveling to Auckland tomorrow and will only be a stones throw away from the Otahuhu Cemetery so will see if I can find the graves and take some photos.
They have made a typo error in entering the data online Lula should be Lulu, I have some other info on Lulu and her brother that I will post later on in the week as I have to look for it.

Looking for any information on George Keyes who married Eleanor Lowry on 11th May 1835 at Raphoe Presbyterian Church Raphoe.
I have George as coming from either Lifford, Castlefin or Tyrone and that's about it have not been able to locate any other info on George apart from that he was alive in Australia in 1879 and had died by 1902.
One of his sons was born in Boston and later came out to Australia George could have died in Australia or New Zealand were he had family but have had no luck in tracing him in either country, I am now wondering if he went back to Boston (have not researched this option so far) and died there or back to Ireland however have researched Ireland with no luck.
Eleanor died in New Zealand in 1902 and her death notice mentions the "late George Keyes"
Any info on George would be most appreciated.
