Hi
Im trying to trace the birth record and any family of one of my ancestors who said he was born in Ireland. He moved to New Zealand (we dont know when) and married Mary Ann White in 1862. Later he married Penelope Dean Wallis and had a ton of children. The following are the direct line descendants to me. I have mentioned them because in the records I could find from Ireland there is a similar name so I thought that may be John Cornwall McGaveston brother and my idea is that this name stayed in the family and Johns son and grandson had variants of this name. The name itself also seems to be uncommon so there could be a number of variants including MacGaveston. The McGaveston name in New Zealand only started with this family.
His name is John Cornwall McGaveston born 1844 in Ireland died 1925 in New Zealand
Charles Winnford McGaveston
John Wynn McGaveston
I think this may be John Cornwall McGaveston parents marriage in Rathgar
Area - DUBLIN (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - ST. PETER
Marriage of JOHN MCGAVESTON of RATHGAR and MARGARET PAGE of RATHGAR on 15 September 1842
I think this may be his brother
Area - DUBLIN (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - ST. PETER
Baptism of CHARLESS WYNNE MAC GAVESTON of RATHGAR on 7 September 1845
Is anyone able to find any birth information for John Cornwall McGaveston, any of his siblings, parents and explain the origin of the name?
Thank you in advance
