Hi Jim, Now you pushing it eh :)) I never met her but this is what I have picked up off the net. She was born Catherine McATEER on the 17 May 1857, and accompanied her brother, James, out to Wellington, New Zealand onboard the ship Rakaia in 1778. Aboard the Rakaia was also John CAMPBELL. The three of them left London and were said to have come from Antrim, Ireland. When Catherine died on the 19 July 1916 it was written she had come from Londonderry, Ireland. I am not too sure about the distance of these two places or, if indeed, Londonderry is a town in Antrim. John died on the 13 February 1929, and from the write up I got the idea he was born in about 1853-4. Have no idea where Newry is :) I have looked up the White pages in New Zealand and found two McATEERs.....one in Auckland and the other just north of Wellington...if I remember. I thought of contacting the Auckland lot as I come from there...then realised that it is more likely to be the other lot as it is closer to Wellington eh. Still haven't done so though.....should eh....they might be the link for finding out about John CAMPBELL....his date of birth perhaps. Hooray, Warren. Oh........they were married in Wellington in 1882. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James McAteer" <jamcateer@comcast.net> To: <IRL-TIPPERARY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 10:46 AM Subject: Re: [TIP] Travel in Ireland > Tell me about your McAteers, if you will.
