GALLAGHER - KEARNEY County Tyrone to New Zealand 1920s

Journal by ngairedith

I am seeking ANY information on Patrick (Patsy) Gallagher born about 1888 in Ireland
- He married Kathleen KEARNEY around 1923 in New Zealand.

They emigrated on different ships as she was determined to marry him and so followed him to New Zealand

Would really like to know on which ships they travelled and in what years

Kathleen was born around 1896 in Ireland and died 30-8-1941 in Wellington.
- Both are buried in Karori Cemetery

Believed they went to New Zealand in the early 1900s or even late 1890s. They lived in Christchurch before moving to Wellington

- Their two children Catherine (Peggy) and Charles (Carl) were born in the South Island - Peggy in Reefton and Carl in Christchurch but spent their youth onwards in the Wellington and Wairarapa areas

Peggy married Gerald Irvine
Carl married Ngaire Peck

Patrick was killed on Christmas Eve 1948 while crossing the railway line in the Hutt or Wellington and was hit by a train

Kathleen had died aged 45, 7 years previously

So far the siblings I have of Paddy's are:

Sara "Cis" Gallagher
- born about 1886 in County Tyrone
- married Eric Charles
- died 1968 aged 78

Joseph "Joe" Gallagher
- born 1887 in County Tyrone
- he had a wooden leg as a result of a train or tram accident
- nothing else known

- born 1890 in Sion Mills, County Tyrone
- married Jack Twamley
- died in 1965 aged 75

Mary Gallagher

James Gallagher

- died in Wanganui
- black sheep of the family, nobody spoke of him :)

William "Bill" Gallagher
- born about 1895 in Ireland
- believe he remained a bachelor
- died in 1970 in Christchurch aged 75
- buried in Bromley cemetery, Christchurch

Catherine/Kathleen "At" Gallagher
- born about 1896 in County Tyrone

- married Michael "Mick" CAMPBELL, he died in the Hutt 1969
-At and her sister Cis were taylors, had a shop Willis St Wellington

Do you have any information on this family - I would appreciate any help, ESPECIALLY their immigration ship and dates - sometime prior to 1823

Catherine (Peg) Irvine was my grandmother. I can try and put you in touch with somebody in my family who may know some of the information which you are after.
