I am looking for Thomas LAVERY  b. 1843  Armagh county. 

His New Zealand death registration 5th September 1924   gives his age as 81    from which I calculate the 1843 birth year. 

A likely  arrival date in New zealand  from passenger records is: Lavery Thos, 1872 #1243, age 30, male,  single,miner,  from IRL, accom STG, ship RANGITOTO, from Melbourne 22 May 1872, arrival Greymouth, source PROV VPRS948,LDS film 0284504 victoria to NZ passenger records,  this would give a calculated birth year of 1842

the only other clue I have is an address from his sons diary  with a place name that does not appear to match any Armagh place names or variations in spelling  

"DAD -- Cannagolie County Armagh"

    It could possibly be Cannagola or sometimes Canagola.  There is a Will on the PRONI website for an Edward Lavery but it is early 1900s - he died 13th June 1904 and his Will was Probated 8th February 1905  [possibly a relative].  He lived at Canagola.  The Will can be viewed on www.proni.gov.uk - search the Will Calendars.
