Help Please .. David Cameron and Catherine Lyons COMPLETED Thankyou

[New Zealander]

Where did they come from and how did they get here and who were the children?  Can some kind person assist please?

David Cameron (36 years) and Catherine Lyons (30 years) were married in Queenstown on 30.09.1869.  This was a 2nd marriage for Catherine.   Her 1st marriage was to William Lyons in Victoria.  No record has been located of that event.

Catherine was born in 1837 in County Antrim, Ireland daughter of Richard and Mary Connelly.

It is not known how and when either David or Catherine arrived in New Zealand.

Along the way two children .. daughters were born in 1875 and 1878.  Their names are unknown.

David Cameron died on 18.11.1876 and is buried in the Addington Cemetery, Christchurch.

Catherine moved to Auckland and made her 3rd marriage to Otto Frederick Olsen of Norwegian descent.

Catherine died in 1916 and Otto Olsen died in 1923.  Both are buried in Waikaraka Cemetery, Auckland.

Would appreciate any new information particulary the names of any children and how David Cameron and Catherine Lyons arrived in New Zealand.

Many thanks

Hi Alex,

I see there is a Probate held for Otto at Auckland Archives, that might give you some clues to childrens names.

Alex,

Just a thought, have you thought of contacting DonL on our board, he has Olsen's of Norway in his interests.    Might be a possible connection somewhere.

Thank you much appreciated. 

Passengers lists/ names of vessels for David cameron and Catherine Lyons to New Zealand continue to elude me but would be most useful if they were available.

Auckland Archives

Probate files here appear to be a problem because of Archives location near the airport.  Who does that work there.  Anyone know?
