Hi - I am interested in the family name of McANENEY or McANEANEY.
I think Daniel, and perhaps his wife Catherine (nee MACKLE) came from Armagh as that has been stated on his death certificate and children's certificates.
Daniel and Catherine sailed on the 'Royal Charlie' arriving in South Africa in 1860. The 'Royal Charlie' left from Southampton but I don't know where they boarded. Would they have boarded in Ireland?
They then come to NZ in 1864 with two children, Thomas and Anna (Annabella) on the 'Maori'.
I assume these two children were born in Sth Africa.
They then had several more children in NZ.
In 1875 his parents, Daniel and Anne, came out to NZ on the 'Dover Castle', with several of their other children. (Daniel is their eldest son/child).
Where in Armagh did Daniel and Catherine, and Daniel and Anne come from.
I also found that Bernard McAneney, sailed on the Royal Charlie at the same time as Daniel and Catherine. He then came out to NZ early in 1865. So is he from the same family?
Thanks, Rose
