Would love to get some information on Mary who emigrated to Oamaru New Zealand about 1876 and married 1878 in New Zealand to Patrick Corcoran who was also born in Castlemaine.
Hi,
Can you clarify what year Mary was born. Also do you have her marriage and death records? Sometimes they include parents' names. What year did she die?
Regards- Mary
Is this your Mary?

I found two possibilities on Irishgenealogy (free site). Since one of her sons was named Thomas the first is probably her.

Patrick's siblings found on Irishgenealogy - Daniel 1833, Mary 1837, Ellen 1839, John 1842, Thomas 1845
Yes, sorry Mary was born 1855 Castlemaine, sorry for forgetting this important fact and date of death 11/03/1917 in Oamaru New Zealand. She had 2 daughters Johanna 1879, and Ellen1887or1888, 6 sons, Thomas - baby died 09/09/1881, Daniel 1882, another Thomas 1885or1886, Patrick 1889, John 1891 and James 1895.
Sorry I realised I put 1885 on the header and this is wrong, 1855 is the year mary was born. In NZ records showed a Patrick Corcoran marrying a Mary Brosnihan 1878 and another record of a another Patrick Corcoran marrying a Mary Casserly in 1881 which I discounted as 2 children had been born. Thanks
