Hi, My GGGFather, Robert URE married Elizabeth SHAW 1862.  I believe Elizabeth SHAW was born in Muirkirk.  Robert died & Elizabeth married John GRAY 1867. She brought 2 children to the 2nd marriage. She had 4 more children with John GRAY. If you connect to our Elizabeth SHAW I would like to hear back from you.

Kilkenny / Seeking Roach and/or Donkin families
« on: Monday 03 May 10 07:25 BST (UK)  »
I live in New Zealand and have established through a death certificate that my gt gt Grandmother was from Ireland.

I am looking for connections / information on her or her family especially in Ireland. This is the detail I currently have on her:

Adelia Briget Roach b.approx.1842 in Kilkenny, Ireland. Father's name on death certificate is listed as Phillip Roach, occupation "Magistrate".

She arrived in New Zealand approx. 1863. Married to Henry Donkin when she was 22 yrs old. I believe they married in Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand in 1864.

I know that they lived in the Thames area, New Zealand for some of their marriage and they worked in the Gold Mines.
 
She died 27/12/1920 in Auckland, New Zealand.


Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Lanarkshire / Looking for URE's, GRAY's, & SHAW's
« on: Wednesday 28 April 10 08:59 BST (UK)  »
My grandfather came from Shotts, Lanarkshire and unfortunately he passed on before I realised the importance of discussing the family with him. If you know of these families or connect in some way I would like to hear from you.

What I think I know is as follows:
John Gray URE or John Ure GRAY - Grandfather b. 1/06/1897 in Shotts, Lanarkshire -moved to Australia in 1925 and then on to New Zealand where he lived out his life. His siblings were Jeanie, Robert, Harry, & Jessie.
Robert URE b.1863, his father, married Jane (Jeanie) HUGHES. Robert had a sister called Elizabeth b.1865.
Their father also Robert URE married Elizabeth SHAW (in 1862)and died early. Elizabeth SHAW went on to marry John GRAY(in 1867). John GRAY came to the marriage with a son called John. Elizabeth and John had 4 more children possibly named William, James, Annabella & Thomas.
