Yay - I found another one!
|
My g-g-grandparents John CARR and Elizabeth CARR (DWYER) arrived in Dunedin in 1874 from Cork, Ireland with their children Mary 17, Michael 16 (my g-grandfather), Anne 15, Thomas 13, Daniel 10, Lucy 9, John Francis 6 and Eliza 8 mths. So far I've traced them all ... except Thomas.
I know he was in Wellington in 1887 when he was (possibly) the informant at the birth of his niece Mary Teresa CARR and he was still alive when his father John died in 1897 as he is mentioned in the will.
John CARR (senior) worked as a crossing keeper for the Railways in Dunedin. Son Michael worked for NZ Loan & Mercantile - first in Wellington, then Gore. Daniel was a torpedoman in the NZ Artillery and died of dysentery in Wellington in 1898 and John Francis CARR was possibly a telegraph operator in Wellington and died in 1934. Mary died not long after their arrival in Dunedin, Annie married and moved to London and Lucy never married and died in 1907.
But what happened to Thomas? The only Thomas CARRs I've found so far were all CofE and my CARR family were most definitely Catholic.
Any suggestions gratefully received
