• Notes

  "John came to New Zealand, and probably landed at Port Chalmers, Dunedin. He married, and lived in the North Otago area until 1906. He was a hotelier at Kurow for some time, and for a short time also had a farm near Oamaru. Whilst out hare shooting near Omarama, he was run over by a buggy wheel and badly hurt. The whole family then moved to the Masonic Hotel in Wellington. John died there in 1907. Mrs O'Neill and family then continued as hoteliers at Inglewood, Taranaki in the North Island of New Zealand." (O'Neills of Greenlough, 1986, 19).
