I have a little about the Burtons, not a lot unfortunately. Two of the children (Francis and Hanorah/Norah) married Burke siblings, and I have more on that line. Will take a look and see what I have!

Ah! That is very interesting. According to John's death certificate, his parents were Edmond Burton and Kate Carr. He was born around 1826.

Hi Chris - the two surnames seem to have different origins, but it's possible that the spelling of one changed due to error at some point...? It seems strange that my Burton ancestor with links to Solohead and Galbally who emigrated to New Zealand around 1875/6 would not be somehow connected to your Bruton family with similar links. My John Burton married Bridget Mahoney in Galbally in 1859 and they had several children in Ireland before emigrating to NZ.
Do you know what ship your Brutons travelled on? Family stories regarding my ancestors suggest they came over on the Fernglen, but I haven't found them on any passenger lists to date. They settled in the Blenheim area.

Hi Louisa -I am wondering if your Susanna's mother is the Mary McGonigle/McGonnell from Kilkeel, Co Down?
If so, Mary may be my 2x great grandfather Michael McGonnell's sister. He was born in 1837, from Moneydorragh, Kilkeel parish, and his father was Edward McGonnell (though appears as McGonigle in GV) and mother Rose Trainor. I am interested in finding siblings of Michael, and more about his parents.
Michael joined the Royal Navy in 1858 and left around 1861, ending up in New Zealand, where he now has many descendents.

Thank you both!! Just did a quick search on Griffiths Valuation and found some Derricks in Mayo, so another surname to add to the mix

This is from the Scottish death record of my Irish 3x ggrandmother, but I can't figure out her mother's maiden surname (after "M.S."). Any suggestions?

My 2x great grandfather was born in Co Tipperary, but I can't decipher his birthplace given on his daughter's 1879 NZ birth certificate. (He married in 1859 in Galbally, Co Limerick.) Hoping someone here might have an idea
