Looking for ancestors

Hi, my great grandparents emigrated from Ireland to New Zealand around 1875. Daniel Mahoney born 1856 from County Cork, and Maria Dillon born 1850 from County Clare. Daniel's parents were Michael Mahoney born 1821 and Catherine Brosnan or Brosnahan born 1825 from County Kerry. Thats as far as i know, although maybe Michael's parents were Patrick Mahoney or O'Mahoney and Catherine Ahern both born late 1700s. Maria's parents were Thomas Dillon born 1828 and Catherine O'Brien born 1830, both born in County Clare.                Any help on further ancestors would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Eileen, yes, thats my great, great grandmother, she married Thomas Dillon. Do you have any information on her parents, i have a Willian J O'Brien, but nothing else. Thomas's parents i have as John Dillon and M Blackwell, but no other information. I appreciate that you replied so quickly. Finding Irish ancestors isnt easy, as i understand that records are scarce before about 1860
