I T M lookup please Completed,thanks

[ellvera]

May I please have a look up of an ITM for William Corboy and Mary Donovan ,who married at the Catholic Church, Onehunga on 31st May 1870,according to the Daily Southern Cross.

I thought I had Mary all sorted as arriving in NZ in 1875 with her brothers, Daniel and Florence,but obviously not.

She would have been 25 then ,according to her date of death,so no guardian,but I am hoping there will be a clue as to how long she had lived in Onehunga?.William was a resident of KihiKihi at the time.

Thank you
Barbara

Hi Barbara

I have been researching my family and when i googled CORBOY/DONOVAN your note came up.  I wondered if you had any more information about them and their family.

Many thanks

Hi Kirsty and welcome to rootchat
My main interest is in the Sullivan/Donovan family.Mary Donovan is the half sister of two Sullivans who married into the Farrell family.
I have very little on the Corboys -they are proving elusive.But happy to share what I've got with you.
You will need to make three posts and then we can communicate by personal message  & I'll give you my email address.
