Hi,
Looking for any information about McFetrish's in Northern Ireland. Rather complicated as it seems the same people have different surname spellings, i.e. McFetrish, McFetrich, McFetridges. My ggrandfather James McFetrish came to NZ and married Annie Kelly in 1875 in Oamaru,NZ. Her family came to NZ from Kent. How he got here I still haven't found out and on his death cert. it says parents unknown but that his father was a farmer! Family BIble has his birth date as 26th September 1847. Can anyone help?

Surnames: ANNIEKELLY JAMESMCFETRISH
