Francis Ballantyne  recorded as 38 in 1855, and Janet Douglas 24yrs parents to George Henry Ballantyne 24 August 1855 Yarrow Selkirk.

No marriage recorded for Jannet and Francis.

There is a Francis Ballantyne b 1814 recorded in Roxburghshire and I have a family history of him, but cannot prove the connection between him and my George.

Also there is a wedding between a Francis and Jessie in 1857 after the birth of a child, but again the birth dates of the parents do not match those of Francis and Jannet from young Georges birth cert.

Are they connected, and is there some sort of family secret involved.

There is a family tradition that an old uncle found out something (not nice) about George but told none and did record it.(good on him)

Jean Dunn and And Daniel Craig Miller Andrews  married abt 1914 in Dunedin area.

Hi I am looking for a thread of information about my lost people, Martha Jane Porterfield and Andrew Walker. All I know is that their daughter was born in Strabane CO Tyrone 1865 . and Andrew was deceased by the time his daughter married in 1888.

Hi Can anyone help with this information. I am looking for the arrival to NZ of Francis and Janet Ballantyne sometime after 1855- 1770, one son was George Henry 1855. I have searched the shipping lists but found nothing for them.

Hi I am looking for Andrew Dunn who married Martha Porter 23-12-1847 in (County Donegal Northern Ireland). This may not be accurate but it is the only family info that I have. They had a son John in Scotland in 1867 this is all that is known of their family John married and emigrated to New Zealand by 1994.
