Thornhill and Moore Families Help!

[carol80]

Looking for John Thornhill who according to his marriage certificate was full age, a bachelor living at Sunday Wells, Parish of St Mary Shandon, Cork City. He was a Writing Clerk and his father William was a Clerk Peace Office.
He married Margaret Moore of full age, a spinster living at Paul Street, Parish of St Paul's City of Cork.
She was a storekeeper as was her father John.
They married in the Register Office in Cork City on the 14th of July 1855. Witnesses were D.Connor and Mary O'Connor(who made her Mark)

Margaret and 3 children, William 1856, Annie 1859, and Louis 1859 came to New Zealand on the Asia in 1874.
To date, I can find no evidence of her husband John coming to New Zealand.
Many trees have a Johnson Thornhill as her husband. This man was born about 1816, was a miner from Ireland, and died in New Zealand in 1871. I can find no evidence to connect Johnson to John or Margaret.
Would like to know about John Moore and his family also William Thornhill's family.
What happens to John?
A New Year's miracle would be good.

The Catholic Parish Registers at the National Library of Ireland has the following baptism in the Parish of Doneraile in the diocese of Cloyne, Cork:

12 Sep 1816 John son of William Thornhill and Mary (nee Roache or Roche), Ballyandrew (I think!). 

Siblings appear to be Honora 1820 and Mary 1823, both baptised at Doneraile, and then William 1828 at St Finbar, Cork

There are a couple of newspaper snippets from January 1849, regarding ‘Mr William Thornhill’ who was found dead at his home in Henry Street, Cork. The articles confirm that ‘for many years employed in the office ‘clerk of the peace’.

Many thanks, Jomot and heywood. This is great.
I have found the articles regarding Williams's death on 3rd January 1849. Williams's 3xgreat grandson was born on 3rd January 1951. He too is now deceased.
I did have William and Mary nee Roache as possible parents in 1994 when I started this line. Now I can confirm I am on the right track.
Thank you
Carol
