Can someone please look up a burial for Francis Cogan (or possibly Keoghan or similar spelling). The surname was spelt KEOGHAN but as his wife couldn't read & write the spelling was changed to COGAN - with a strong Irish accent it was spelt how it sounds, I suppose. 

It is on Papers Past as Francis Cogan who drowned in Waikato River at Cambridge and found at Rangiriri 22 February 1869. The inquest was supposedly held at Rangiriri but no mention of where he is buried, he came from Cambridge. I haven't a copy of any inquest but family 'stories' have it.

My G.Grandfather.

•   COGAN Francis
Frank was 25 years old when he enrolled with the 3rd Waikato Militia on 17 November 1863 in Nelson. He was Private 784, born in Ireland and a labourer. He received his one acre section number 505 in Cambridge West and his 50 acre farm at Pukerimu. He is listed on the Aquitance Roll of 1868 held at National Archives in Wellington
His death is recorded in the Southern Cross newspaper as having drowned at Cambridge 20 February 1869.


I am wanting to know how I can get a copy of his death printout as I cannot find him on NZ BDM online also locate where he is buried. Hamilton & Cambridge are unable to help - possibly too far back for their records ?? I cannot find anything at Auckland Archives either.
Thank you.

Can someone please find the 1851 and 1841 Census for Charles and George TAYLOR for me, please??

I am looking for the 1851 Census for West Riding Yorkshire for Charles TAYLOR b. about 1801 Sheffield and son George TAYLOR b. about 1842 Sheffield. Then the 1841 Census for Charles TAYLOR before son George was born.

I found them in 1861 as below. I know this is the correct father and son as I have George TAYLOR (GGrandfather) marriage printout 5 May 1861 at Parish Church Morley, Dewsbury. The occupations on the marriage have George a Wool Mixer and father Charles a Wool Dresser. George TAYLOR married Mary Ann RICHARDSON b. about 1838 Morley daug of James RICHARDSON and Hannah ?? - I have the 1861 Census for the Richardson household showing James, Hannah, Mary Ann and son Nat (Banks Hill, Morley). I have the 1871 Census with TAYLOR George, Mary Ann and three children (13 Sussex Court, Leeds) also the Richardson household with James, Hannah, sons James and Nathaniel and grandson Alfred Taylor (60 Bank Street Crowthers Yard, Morley).

I am trying to find out who George's mother was, Charles was a widow in 1861. I do not know when father Charles TAYLOR died but George and Mary Ann Taylor with children moved to Australia in 1874.

Any information greatly appreciated.

I would appreciate any assistance in finding the History of Kilpunt/Kinpunt, Broxburn - Kirkliston, West Lothian, please.

Our research shows that Alice CAMPBELL b. Abt 1710 as Heiress of Kilpunt m. John CAMPBELL of Ardeonaig, Perthshire. Alice was the 1st daughter of Alexander b. Abt 1678 & Margaret (DALMAHOY). Alexander son of James b. Abt 1647. James & wife (I do not know who) had 2 sons (Alexander + 1 other) and 1 daughter. Any help on who the other 2 children were and who did they marry, please?

I have Rev. James HART Minister at Ratho m. Mary CAMPBELL, Kirkliston, West Lothian 1701, showing on marriage certificate, was daughter of "Laird of Kilpont James". So where does Mary fit into the family and who did James Campbell b. Abt 1647 marry?  Is this the same James ??

What I have so far:-
Sir John CAMPBELL of Lawer m. Beatrix CAMPBELL
- son Archibald CAMPBELL b. Abt 1575 Glencarradale, Argyllshire m. Bessie NAPIER - had 6 children
- son Archibald CAMPBELL b. Abt 1616 Edinburgh m. 2nd wife Janet GRAY (dau. of Sir William) - had 1 son
- son James CAMPBELL  b. Abt 1647 Kinpunt m. - had 2 sons (Alexander + 1 son) & 1 daughter
- son Alexander CAMPBELL b. Abt 1678 m. Margaret DALMAHOY- Had 3 daughters + 1 son.
- daughters 1. Alice b. Abt 1710 Heiress of Kilpunt, 2. Mary b. Abt 1715, 3. Elizabeth b. Abt 1717. - Son b. Abt 1711 died as child.

I only have Hannah Taylor b 16/08/1874 at Hindmarsh and Fred (not Fredrick) b 28/09/1881 (registered 14/10/1881) at New Thebarton, Hindmarsh, South Australia. The parents are George Taylor an Engineer and Mary Ann Richardson. I have nothing more on Hannah, George or Mary Ann - don't know if they came from England or where-ever. I am unsure if there were any other children.  I have no marriage or deaths for any in Australia. Fred came to NZ when he was about 17-19 (1898-90). I have everything on Fred once he married in NZ - he is my husbands Grandfather. I do know that around 1915-20 George & Mary Ann were still in South Australia wanting to come to NZ but Fred's wife sent the mail back return to sender. Family lost contact after that.
