Thank you for taking the time to send that info. I am really interested in my Irish family. It is true that the names Meridith and Jones pop upa lot...I wonder where they originated from. Are you living in Ireland now? What is Armagh like? And what sort of people were the Rountrees?

In 1865 Meredith Rowntree sponsored, with others, Elizabeth CARLIN, servant, of Rowntree Hill, County Amagh as an assisted passenger to New Zealand. They arrived on the Silver Eagle on 5 March 1866. 

Try looking for Rowntree.

Greetings

The Rountrees from Northern Ireland makes interesting reading.  Although I am not actively researching the Rountrees I have localised information concerning the Mangapai, maungakaremea and Waikiekie  Rountree family,  This originally from  Waikiekie Pioneers, however I have other information from other sources concerning this family and other families in this area.

I would like to fill in the gaps and share information concerning the following families.

Rountrees, Gunsons, Hilfords, Stephens.

Thats very interesting Oaikley.

Meredith Senior became ill before his painful death in 1870.  Although he left good sons behind to help their mother, he possibly arranged for the servant to come out to NZ to assist his wife Margaret Ann.

Thanks for that info.

Kia Ora Klsy24.  Your info is very interesting.  I cantnot peice any of your info to mine but there must of course be a family connection.  Will keep digging.

HI Jan

You will have to send me a PM until I post again.  Have been researching the Babe Family and the other families (Gunsons Rountrees, Hilfords Stephens) are all interwoven in some manner.
