John Charles Eccles came to New Zealand in 1863 and later became a Canon in the Anglican Church.
He came with a pregnant wife (Lettitian Twinem), who died after soon arriving.
John came from Cookstown and married Lettitian Twinem in Seagoe, Amagh in 1862. His father was William John Eccles born Circa 1792 and believed to be connected to the"Ecclesville" Eccles. He married Mary Glasgow.
John had two siblings, Maria who married John McCabe who went to New York, USA around 1850 and William Henry Eccles. William John Eccles was a soldier in the Argylle, Sutherland Highlander regiment serving in the Pennisular Wars.

Ecclesville was an estate in Fintona, Omagh owned by Eccles. Check out "McClintock of Seskinore" website it tells you lots about the estate and the Eccles.
It was demolished and is now a golf course.
