Hi

I have a William Cornelius Coffey born 24 December 1894 in Gleniti, died 24 July 1965, sitting in my tree. 

No connection to me ... but married into a well known local family in the Papakura area, which connects to my tree.

Does he fit into your tree?

Cheers

The information was given to me by someone who did a lot of work on the Cossey Clan,  but admits that dates may not be exact.   

Mona Winifred Cossey.    Three of the Cosseys  is related to my tree.

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.
