I am tracing my family tree along with a cousin who has used this site before - to trace our G G Grandparents. Michael Begley and Catherine Guerin (Michaels brother Maurice married Catherine's sister Ellen). These couples then emigrated to New Zealand on the "City of Auckland" in 1878. The Begley's were we believe from Dingle area - Michael Begley and Bridget Brosnahan were their parents. Any information would be gratefully received. I'm planning a trip there from Australia in May 2009.

Further information - Maurice Begley was 17 and Catherine Guerin 10 when they immigrated from Kerry in 1877/8. They later married in 1890 in New Zealand. Michael Begley we believe had married Ellen Guerin before leaving Ireland on the same voyage.
