Hello Bev, Do you have any other information on your branch, such as dates of emigration, etc? My own branch moved over to northern england in the 1890s and eventually settled in Durham; my own research points to an ancestry based in burrenreagh, kilcoo. I have some pointers for further research from the experts on this list but up 'til now have not followed them. Peter Bev wrote: > Seeking any information on the McGuinness family in Co. Down.

Hi All. I have just completed some research on the name McVeigh in the Kilkeel area. If anyone is researching this name drop me an email and I'll see if I have anything that will help.

I will be away from home for a week, after that I will look among the Thompson Family, ( connected to my PHAIR & FINLAY families,) & look for a suitable John Thompson. The HAMPTON, HAMITON, PHAIR & FINLAY families, are my direct lines, however, there are also , from Nth Ireland, ENGLISH, THOMPSON, McCONAGHTY & McCABE names who link to my own families.

Otago is a region in the South Island. And includes North Otago (oamaru area) Central Otago (Wanaka, Alexandra etc)and of course Dunedin - key city in Otago Try Googling one of the towns/cities above to get an idea of location. There is an Ethel Ranger (aged 18) recorded as being buried in Southern Dunedin General cemetery in the Presbyterian section in 1907. Perhaps she is the sister of William James Ranger. Neither Ethelinda Harrison/Ranger or William James Ranger appear in the NZ Burial Locator. There marriage is noted in both NZSG version 4 and the NZ Marriages index. You may want to try the NZSG Otago branch for more help.

Hello Ann, When we had Provinces, Otago was down at the South East corner of the South Island of New Zealand. Dunedin is the main city, used to be known as the Edinburgh of the South, originally settled by a large number of Scots. The area is still there, of course, but, for some reason they are now not called Provinces. I was looking for a Finlay / Ranger connection, which was how I noticed the name.

Thanks so much, I checked out the webpage and found no Morrows. By all intents and purposes the Morrows where coal miners. I am sure there could be other occupations that were woven in there. I am still trying to put these people in Ireland where they said they were from.
