Hi my name is Elanor {Elle} Ansted. My great great grandfather was Henry Owen Donnelly who came out to New Zealand in the 1860's aboard the ship 'Queen of the Deep' with his mother { a widow} named Bridget nee Sullivan. He had a sister Mary and a sister Anne. His parents moved from Ireland to Liverpool previously. Henry Owen Donnelly went on to Marry Mary Anne Butler who was born in Howick, Auckland, New Zealand in 1847. Mary Anne Butlers father was William Henry Butler who was a soldier who came out to New Zealand with his wife and son { the son died at sea} I believe he may have been from or around Kinsale? |
