James arrived in NZ after about eight years in the goldfields at Bendigo. Research over the years has failed. There is no details of his origin on either his marriage or death certificate .
Interested In parish records in Dublin although have no idea where to start.
On arrival in New Zealand he married Mary Callanan who had emigrated from Galway.
