And John McClure born 1856 Ballynashannagh and married Sarah Riddle who died in Auckland in 1922. Known to be in the Leeston/Ellesley area.

When you say 'connections' are you wanting to know if they are related? ie back in Co Donegal or if they became related to each other by marriage etc here in NZ.

If doing Irish research can you advice the religion of all of them.....also be useful/essential to have the apx birth  & death dates all in the same entry

George McClure
John McClure 1856 -1922
Francis McClure

This is a well recognised Co Donegal site.

How do you know they came from Ballynashannagh?
