Hello Everyone, I am new to this list and I am hoping that I'll be able to find some information on a couple of ancestors. I am searching for two brothers, Thomas and William Gordon. They emigrated to New Zealand around 1840-1842 from Northern Ireland. I have found immigration papers in Sydney, Australia which I believe relate to Thomas and William. Thomas's record states that Thomas came from "Moran" Co. Down. I think that it is possible that it was Mourne. They were both single at the time of their departing Ireland. I believe that Thomas was born about 1812/1813 and that William was born about 1815/1817. Thomas's death notice in Auckland, NZ, 1872, asks that Newry papers take note. Their parents were Jane and James Gordon (although for some time we thought that the father was a Thomas). As most of us researching this family live in Australia and NZ, we would be grateful for any information or advice on how to proceed to find anything about the brothers' lives and family in Irelan! d. Thanks, Heather.
