The obituary I mentioned came from Papers Past New Zealand. This is the James Cranston who married a New Zealander but it could be your James is his father. That would tie in as in that generation (from my perspective) there was also a Robert Cranston. This would also mean that the James Cranston you are researching was part of the Heavty Brigade but I cannot make headway with this connection.

Also I believe that one of his brothers went to New Zealand. I wonder if we are talking aboiut the same James Cranston. I have a birth cert for James but I have never been able to find a death cert. James Cranston signed the marrage cert for my grandfather Robert Cranston in 1907 in Dublin. James wife was Mary Ann Smith. I know that there was an Isobella, Agnes, Annie and David so it could well be the same family. Where did you get the obituary ????. my e mail is [email protected] ps. my brother Robert and my son Gary both live in New Zealand.

My gt-gt-gt-grandfather was John Cranston (b c1793 - 1851), who lived and died in Castlecomer, Ireland. His sons were John, Matthew (my gt-gt-grandfather), and one another, possible Alexander. Matthew's youngest son was Walter Scott Cranston. Does the enquirer have any further background on the Irish origins of Walter James Cranston (m1877) and his parents John & Sarah Cranston?
