Trying to find Cunningham

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying to find my husbands relatives who apparently came out to NZ from Tyrone Northern Ireland. George William Cunningham born 28.4.1856, came out first about 1880 but I understand went to Australia first and then onto NZ. His father, William Young Cunningham born 1828, followed. His wife was Anne Rodgers also born 1828 who came from Drumquin, Tyrone, Northern Ireland. I understand William's father was David, but no more knowledge. I do not know of any siblings of William but Anne and William had 5 boys and one girl, George William, Sarah Jane, David Young, John James, Thomas Alexander and Henry. They all married in New Zealand. William was born in Farnaughandrum, (Sometimes has a different spelling) Tyrone Northern Ireland. Who were his family?? Thank you as I seem to have hit a solid wall.
