Apologies! As some of you might have realised, the post below should read: RIDDAL.- John Riddal, Ballygawley, County Tyrone, Ireland, is desirous of hearing from his son John, who left Ireland for New Zealand about 16 years ago; last heard of in Auckland. Any information regarding him will be thankfully received. Colonial and Australian papers please copy. and not ''116 years ago'' as I posted. oops! Again, this goes to show how easy it is to make mistakes while transcribing, and why it is always important to check out the source when necessary.
