Yes Phyllis was the cousin, came out from Ireland and lived with Thomas and Violet, and had a cake shop with young Violet. Her father was James Steen who also came to NZ later and died here in1970.  Her sister Betty also came out here and died in Whangarei last year. I remember Phyllis and I met Betty in Whangarei a few years ago when my parents retired there, also went to see her a couple of years ago in a resthome up there.

I also have a photo of them before they left Ireland with Granny Burns in the photo. Thomas's father Isaac is buried in the Culmore churchyard, and his grave is taken care of very well by a 2nd cousin of mine.Thomas and Violet are buried in Auckland in a grave next to their daughter Violet.
