New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Cornelius Coffey- For Pelorus
« on: Monday 12 January 09 18:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Mk2_Zephyr

Katherine Bryers was my great grandmother hence Alf and Mary Baker my grandparents.

Where do you fit in the family?

If you come up with any other info on Cornelius Charles Coffey I would be most grateful.

The link with Kiwihalfpint's extended family is interesting - my research also states that William Cornelius Coffey was married to Mary Cossey and they had three daughters.

Thanks for your input

Hi to you both - kiwihalfpint and mk2_zephyr

Yes this is one and the same family!!! Thank you for your persistance and help.

mk2_zephyr - your family 'tree' is what I have. Mary and William are brother and sister - Mary is my grandmother! Who are you related to - maybe Ellen?

kiwihalfpint - the birthdate you gave for William is in fact (I think) Ellen's birthdate - I will keep plugging at this and see what I come up with from other avenues. William's birthdate is the only one of this part of the family I don't have.

Father - Cornelius Charles Coffey, son of Michael and Mary (nee Mangan) Coffey is the relative I want to follow through with as I have many discrepancies with his legal documents as to his actual birthdate (his marriage certificate, entries on his daughters' birth certificates, his will and his death certificate all give a different year).

I am also interested in finding out what ship he arrived on - possibility leaving from from Liverpool.

I will keep delving and will post what I fond to you both.

Thanks again

Pelorus

On further investigation William could well be a great uncle of mine. My grandmother Mary (and her sister Ellen) did have a brother William Cornelius (full personal details of which are unknown to me) who would fit the correct time frame as Mary (older sister to William) died 1969 in Hamilton and buried at Waiuku Cemetry. There was also an older brother, Michael James Coffey.

Do you have any other information on William which you think would be useful to me?

I'm sure William is a correct link to my family and I have quite a lot of family information if any of your relatives want any on the Coffey and Bryers family tree.

I am a relative of Cornelius Coffey, died 20 December 1917 in Kawakawa. Do you have his date of birth and any info on when he came to NZ (from which port, ship, departure and arrival dates.
