Major family of Kaiapoi New Zealand
« on: Sunday 28 July 13 21:36 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have been looking for Margaret Major born 1868 New Zealand, daughter of William and Fanny Major. Have found two marriages ,but nothing in the E/Rolls to follow up the marriages.
apart from the above info nothing else

also Selina Major  born  1867, could be sisters, but also could be William's sister, she died 1886 Kaiapoi

Any info would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hello,

A Margaret MAJOR married James Henry Larcelles CORRIGAN in 1901.

A Margaret Elizabeth CORRIGAN married William O'Connor in 1927.

Do you know for certain that these two Margaret's are one and the same?
