Ireland / QUIN, Michael
« on: Tuesday 16 November 10 20:00 GMT (UK) »
Born 20 Oct 1811, Ireland
moved sometime to Scotland
married Isabella HUMBLE (b. 20 Oct 1815 Prestonpans) 12 Jan 1840, Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland.
In 1841 census he was listed as a blacksmith, and was probably away on a job, as his wife was elsewhere on census night.
In 1842, with their son John Alexander QUIN, and a Mary Ann STODDART (who I'm not sure how she fits into family, but could be Michaels from a previous relationship) they emigrated to New Zealand.
From what I have researched so far, I see that many Quin's are concentrated in one area of Ireland, but apart from that I've had no luck locating him, or even whether he went to Scotland on his own or with other family members, etc.
Once in NZ he became heavily involved in the Presbyterian Church - perhaps this may give a clue?
Any help or ideas much appreciated.

perhaps thats part of the reason why we hunt so hard for ancestral connections to it all.
