I do know that a cousin spent time in the goldfields in Ballarat area Patrick and Ann Byrne, before coming and settling in Takaka, New Zealand.  Am unable to find out if there are any others that went with Michael Campion and John Byrne when they first left Ireland.  Apparantly, if they worked their passage they were not recorded in the ships manifest??  Can't even find out when they left or arrived in NZ.  Only that they got granted land, even fell short there as they did not register it.  Most of my info has come from will, death cert.  Marriage cert did not require parents name.

I am also looking for Byrnes and Campions all born in Gargara, Kilkenny
Michael Campion 1836 and John Byrne 1836 both emigrated to New Zealand in about 1865, got land and farmed it.   John then sent for his sisters Anne 1843 and Mary 1845.  Michael Campion married Mary in 1871, Nelson, New Zealand.  They had two sons, William James and Michael John.  William is my grandfather.
I am having trouble finding parents for Michael Campion and John Byrne.
John also had a brother James who had two daughters.   From what I can gather, the Byrne and Campion families had farms side by side in Gargara.  I have persued Griffiths Valuation 1849-50 and found four or five families.  Still unable to connect to right family.  Can anyone help
Thanks
