When and where did they arrive? Brickwall
« on: Friday 29 September 06 00:13 BST (UK) »
Looking for the arrival of the following family.
John Thornhill b Ireland and his wife Margaret nee Moore. They married  14 Jul 1855 Recorded in: Cork, Cork, Ireland

The only child i have information on is William Alfred Thornhill
On the marriage certificate it shows William  as Laborer  aged 28  residing at Longbush Invercargill born Cork, Ireland.  His  Parents  are John Thornhill  a Clerk  and  Margaret Thornhill  maiden surname Moore.

On the ITM it states; 10 August 1883 : William Alfred THORNHILL, bachelor, a labourer aged 27 years, residing at Longbush, length of residence 27 years .

I am guessing the family came out from Ireland between 1856 and 1857.
I do not have William's date of birth. I have just taken his age from 1883.

There are 2 other possible children that Delboy found for me
THORNHILL, Annie: LHO when in Alfred Hosp. Melb c10yrs ago, or Lorn THORNHILL, LHO at Caversham, Dunedin c10yrs ago. Your br Wm is anxious to hear from you. Address: Longbush, Southland NZ ( this is dated July 1890.)
I have been trying to find their arrival for 2yrs now and not having much luck.
Any help welcome
Carol
