Jackie,

Thank you for this information. Since my father died in the mid-1990's I have not had any contact with this part of the family, hence was not sure where they ended up in New Zealand. I do recall that my father's aunt Ethel emigrated to New Zealand sometime in the mid 1960's. I have actually been able to trace my father's family (the Cunningham's) back to Kilkeel, in N. Ireland, the earliest relative being a Stewart Cunningham, who was probably born in the early 1800's. There are apparantly some Cunningham's in the Kilkeel area to whom I am distantly related.
