New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: William (McQuire) Martin
« on: Wednesday 14 April 10 09:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Thank you so much for the photo. My kids were amazed to see their GGGGG Grand-parents. I did a quick search for some of the names and came across this site http://records.ancestry.com/John%20Martin_records.ashx?pid=140061052. It has John Martin married to Margaret Kennedy the two kids in the photo. I don't know what to make of it as I have John Martin married to Mary Jane Evans (maybe his second marriage)
Thank you again

Hi Bob,
How is everything going, I hope you are making some head-way in getting everything on the computer. I have been busy with other things but finally have a bit of spare time. I haven't found any new info, but was just wondering if you have found that photo you mentioned.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Sutherlands in Christchurch 1860 +?

Hi,
Sorry I haven't answered for a while, have been very busy with other things. I found the passenger list for Isabella Sutherland on the web at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzbound/bluejacket.htm. I have also come across the following site http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/tipp/BANSHABAPTISMS.htm it has a lot of baptisms for the Keating family.

I checked out NZBDM and found Arthur Ernest Keating born 1878 (the right year for the 6yr old) Father John Keating and Mother Josephine Keating (another mistake ?). Marriage record for 1901 to a Annie Leith (which is interesting as John Joseph Keating married Christina Mary Leith), and a death record for 1936.

Hi Bob,
No rush on anything as you say ancestors don't go anywhere. I have found lots of information recently and need to take a bit of a break from research (very hard to do) and get it all organized. I started out well but seem to have bit of paper everywhere at the moment.
Look forward to hearing from you and thanks again for all the info.

Thanks for that, it looks like I'll have to do a bit more research to try and confirm a few things. Nothing seems to be straight forward about tracing families, but that's what makes it fun!!

Hi,
Yes I thought I only had a few relations with my Dad being an only child and my Mum only having one sister, but since I start this I am finding relations all over the world !!
As far as Isabella's surname is concerned it seems to be quite common to change it when changing country, I have two branches on my Mothers side who have done the same thing. I guess they didn't think about their distant relatives trying to trace their family trees.
Thank you for all your previous postings I have got a heap of information from them. I would love any info I can get on the Keating side.

Thanks again

Hi Bob,
Thank you very much for all the info, it fills in a lot and gives me heaps more to do some more research on.
The only the only thing is that on William and Annie's marriage certificate(which I have a copy of) it says his father is George McQuarrie not Joseph and his mother is Martha Martin, where did you get the name Joseph from ?
I would definitely love a copy of the photo you mentioned, putting faces to names makes everything seem more real.

Thanks again

Hi,
Unfortunately I am only aware of the siblings you have mentioned and was unaware that there were any others until I read these posts.

I have found a Isabella Sutherland 22yrs Domestic servant from Caithness-shire who came to New Zealand from London on the "Blue Jacket" it left London on 18th July 1866 and arrived in Lyttelton on14th October 1866. If this is our Isabella then she was using Sutherland before she came to NZ.
