Wanting any info on Henry and Jane (nee McCurley) O'Hara. Their sons John, David and James moved to New Zealand, John arriving in 1878 and David and James arriving together in 1883, with James later moving to Canada. I believe Henry and Jane had other children but not sure about this. Any help greatly appreciated.
