Hi Helen

Thanks for taking an interest, yes they do cover a wide space of New Zealand,I suppose thats what happens when they all emigrate to a new colony,looking for a better life,all my Grandparents with the exception of my mothers father were born there.So being a third generation Kiwi,alot of my early research is centered in New Zealand,and although some of the names I have alot of information on,there are some I still have to work on.

G,day Jericho could you tell me where your McGuire`s hailed from
prior to NZ, and the time frame.

I have a Mary McGuire who  came to New Zealand, I believe she was  from Fermanagh Ireland. And she married John Brown in Otago. I have not be able to track her entry into New Zealand yet but she would have entered Otago. I am not sure whether she travelled alone or with Family.

What are the Christain names of the Glover family? My husbands family are from Nelson. The Glovers came from Fer, Ireland . pegdoll

Hi  pegdoll



My Glovers came from Martock Somerset,  John  and Isabella  Glover went to the   Havelock area near Blenheim, sometimes in the 1870's there children were John born 1870, Mary Jane born 1866, James 1872 all Martock Somerset   I haven't done a lot of research on this family and I suspect that there are more children.

hope this helps
