I am going to say mystery solved .

 Thanks everyone for the insight


Bill Keough

I would go with the explanations of Aghadowey, Top-of-the-hill & the Wiki link. 

Thanks Aghadowey for the reminder of the 'marching season'. 

My gt grandfather was a 'fierce Presbyterian' & Orangeman from the North of Ireland.  He came to NZ 'for the good of his health' and my mother thought that this was a reference to the family predispositon to bronchitis until enlightened by her brother. In his early times in NZ the Auckland City Council tried to organise separate days in the marching season but they everyone marched on the same day/on each other's day, so ACC organised separate routes but 'they always found each other' according to my mother. 

ETA. This gt Grandfather ensured that his five children were brought up as Anglicans, he was a widowed only months after arriving in NZ  and this was my gt grandmother's religion. My grandmother's sister arranged for him to be buried from the Presbyterian church in Auckland and I was glad to read that.

Good thoughts Jon_ni. I think joining the civil service as a Rural Post messenger and then being a sailor 8 years later is a bit unlikely...though I guess stranger things have happened. 

Surely OP should have worked back from themselves and will know the children of the John who was a sailor and married in 1875.  This being so I am not sure how there can be a choice. As you say there may be conflation. 

It would be great if OP could let us know the names of the O'Neill family that they are confident they link back to.  Then we can start afresh.

The children of John the sailor and Mary Waugh that I can find are (childrens' names can give clues to family naming patterns)

Joseph born Belfast 26/3/1880
Jemima Allen McNeil born Belfast 4/9/1900

The gap seems very wide.

Are you able to give the names/dates of the children in birth order please.

Did John & Mary stay in Ireland?

When John applied to enter the Civil Service in 1867, his birth date is given as 02 Nov 1848 and his father's name is recorded as Daniel McNEILL.

....

Could you pl  provide a link to the application to join the Civil Service in 1867 or provide a copy.  Does it give any indication that he will be joining to be a sailor?  Where did he join?
Then 8 years later the occupation on the marriage certificate is 'sailor'

An Andrew dies in Belfast in 1874, he was a railway labourer and his death was accidental & subject to a coroner's inquest.  His wife's name was Mary and she was present at the death at 86 Hardinge St Belfast

Not sure how far you've got with the NZ end.

There is a fabulous museum at Waipu where there was a large Scottish migration, some via Nova Scotia.

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you for all your inputs for which I am extremely grateful.   Certainly we are talking about the correct person, criminal record, Canada etc.

Galway seems to be the general consensus and I am more than happy to agree.   Pity it can't be narrowed to a particular parish.

Thank you all once again.

Gives us time BAC3, we're still on the job...never say never....... ;D

I can’t see any baptism records in Galway and none of the family declare anything but Ireland in censuses.

It looks as though he emigrated to Canada soon afte4 his marriage.

I think the OP's 'family' was long gone from Ireland when they emigrated to Canada via England

Here is a Patrick Ruberry from Co Kildare showing on FS
Death Registration  from July 1914 to September 1914
Oughterard, County Kildare, Ireland
Birth  September 1834 

Not saying this is any relation. On FS there are entries from Co Galway & Co Kildare for a variety of Rubery names.
