One of Thomas sons William is my 2 x great grandfather. One of his sons Patrick my great grand father came to New Zealand in 1908 and stayed. We know next to nothing about the family in Australia. I have found marriage records for William Holt and Catherine McNamee which have Thomas Holt as one of the witnesses and they married 2 days before Thomas and Anne Martin married. Both couples were married in co. Meath while in different locations only several miles apart. On Thomas's death record the ages given for when Thomas and Anne arrived were match Thomas and Jane. It is curious. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
