Hi everyone, am new here and been doing some research on William O Donnell.
I need help on any info that people may know of his time in New Zealand.
We know that Jacob came to look for his father William O'Donnell around 1800's so would appreciate any info about Jacob's son William O'Donnell and his time in NZ

Welcome to Rootschat  :) The William O'Donnell in this thread was born 1899 so I'm not sure if this is the same one you are looking for.

I'm William OD who died in Opunake descendant. I have a blog with more information. Williams son William is who I had been looking for. I still haven't been able to establish if the Irish consultate record is the right one.

There is a William O'Donnell who died in 1971 in the US Consulate in Dublin Ireland but not way to identify if this was him. It would have been a career change from travelling salesman.

Does the Consular death record not give an exact date of death?

I've got the death certificate. It says he was married. Died of a heart attack. No parents named or spouse. It says he was an engineer. St Otterand hospital.

That 1971 death is also online-
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1972/04113/4042279.pdf
Usual residence was Cappagh, death in Waterford, married.' Congestive cardiac failure' listed as cause of death rather than heart attack.
