doody ireland-new zealand

[Canterburynorth]

Hello there,

Can any body help me discover anything about Michael DOODY, born in Cloonrinagh, Clare about 1846.

Michael married Annie LONG in New Zealand on the 8/10/1874.

I have their marrige certificate, but unfortunatly it does not name Michaels parents.

I think he  may have travelled to NZ on his own but I'm not sure.

Annie was born in 1850 in GALTYMORE, Tippeary.

Any information about Michael would be so gratefully recieved.

Regards

Leandra
