Patrick Dougherty and Annie née Diver lived on the townland of Fycorranagh, very close to Letterkenny, Donegal, Ireland. At least seven of their children seem to have emigrated to New Zealand.
Edward Kearney (or Carney) and Annie née McCool (below) lived on the neighbouring townland of Ardaganny, and had seventeen children, the youngest of whom was born in 1874. Four of this family emigrated to New Zealand, while the others either remained in Ireland, or emigrated to Scotland or the United States.
