Hi guys

I am super stuck, have been for weeks now & I'm about ready to give up! :-(

I'm open on suggestions as to where I should go from here.

According to LDS I have the following:

Andrew Wall & Eleanor Gillis married in Dungannon on 11 Jul 1837.
Andrew Wall was born 30 Sep 1817 in Dungannon & died 12 Aug 1847 in Dungannon.

Eleanor Gillis was born 06 May 1819.

I have the following info:

Andrew & Eleanor had 6 boys, Joesph, William, John, Robert, James, & Samuel.

I have Eleanor & the 6 boys arriving in NZ on the Black Eagle in Novemeber 1861. The passenger list has them down as WARD but it is DEFINITELY them & that was a spelling mistake. Based on an old newspaper article I have I understand Eleanor's brother John Gillis summoned them - they stayed with him in Remuera, Auckland for a while before going in different directions in NZ.

I then found a marriage for John's DAUGHTER Sarah Jane Gillis here in NZ - it say's John is from Dromore.

From the Griffiths Valuation of Ireland I can see a John Gillis in the parish of Arboe - also along side him are a Mary & James - I have found an article talking about a John & Mary Gillis here in NZ that fit's that as well.

In that same list in Arboe there is also TWO people with Wall as surname but it's a John & Henry - whether   there is a connection I don't know.

I'm really stuck - I really can't find anything solid in Ireland at all :-(

Any suggestions?

Cheers
