Thank you Hallmark. All I found were details provided from a partial transcript as above. They obviously relate to the original document that you have attached.
Whether he is the man I am looking for remains to be seen. I have over the years, posted one or two requests as to the whereabouts of James Lanigan, a search for these old posts on Rootschat coming up blank
He left Ireland as a 16 year old to join his three older brothers [Peter (Pierce), John & Thomas who had earlier emigrated to New Zealand. He later married in this country, had three children then went to Sydney, Australia on his own in the middle of 1897. Since then we do not know what happened to him. His only grandson, now approaching 80 years would love to know what happened to his paternal grandfather.
No footprints found in Australia, I thought he may have gone back to the land of his birth.
The man who died in 1936 is shown as being married. The wife of James in New Zealand died in 1943.
