Looking for John Thornhill who according to his marriage certificate was full age, a bachelor living at Sunday Wells, Parish of St Mary Shandon, Cork City. He was a Writing Clerk and his father William was a Clerk Peace Office.
He married Margaret Moore of full age, a spinster living at Paul Street, Parish of St Paul's City of Cork.
She was a storekeeper as was her father John.
They married in the Register Office in Cork City on the 14th of July 1855. Witnesses were D.Connor and Mary O'Connor(who made her Mark)
Margaret and 3 children, William 1856, Annie 1859, and Louis 1859 came to New Zealand on the Asia in 1874.
To date, I can find no evidence of her husband John coming to New Zealand.
Many trees have a Johnson Thornhill as her husband. This man was born about 1816, was a miner from Ireland, and died in New Zealand in 1871. I can find no evidence to connect Johnson to John or Margaret.
Would like to know about John Moore and his family also William Thornhill's family.
What happens to John?
A New Year's miracle would be good.
