Hi Alexander,
I know this an old message but hopefully you are still looking.
 I am John Cartwright from Ashburton in New Zealand.
My grandmother was Mary Jane Hay who married James Duff. She was a daughter of George Hay 1842 - 1924 & Elizabeth Smyth( or Smith)1844 - 1928. Married June 11 1863 & came to NZ Jan 1 1868. George had one sister Mary & three brothers James who married Jane Manson, Robert & William. Their father was Archibald Hay & mother Mary Russell. This seems to tie in with your info but I am not sure if I have it all correct. Hope to hear from you.
Kind Regards
John Cartwright

Hi Saorag,
Like you I am looking for the Irish Cartwright connection more than anything. Where do you live & have you the "Blue Book"?
That is the 'Cartwrights in Early South Canterbury` published when we had a family reunion at Pleasant Point South Canterbury in 1959. That has a lot of info of the New Zealand Cartwrights up to 1959. If you would like a copy I could organise it for you. Robert was my grand father who came to NZ with his Aunty Mary nee Howell.
Kind Regards
John Cartwright , Ashburton NZ

Hi Stuart,
I am at present tracing my family tree.
Mary Cartwright nee Howell came to New Zealnd on the "Altrato" 1873 with her 2 youngest sons Edward (22),
James(20) & 2 of her nephews Robert(22) my grandfather & James(20). she lived in South Canterbury New Zealand until her death 1874.
I have a lot of infomation on the family tree in New Zealand but very little in Ireland.
I realise it is some time since you posted this message but hopefully you are stil in contact.
Kind Regards
John Cartwright, Ashburton, Canterbury, New Zealand
