Thank you so much , will look into all that. No that is not my Mary Josephine as she married Sydney George Hall, either there in NZ or Sydney before 1904 or there about's .Think he was also from NZ. Yes I have been to that cemetery in Wellington and seen the grave of Maurice and Mary Frances O'Connor. Looking at some old mail I think Elizabeth O'Connor may have married Aitken in Napiier. Now I do not know what date Thomas Courtney O'Connor died or if he divorced , but that could be Mary O'Connor [Casey] marrying Mr Church . Thanks for all that Trish in Sydney Hi Trish - welcome to the list.
