Judith Mc Donnell

Bridget Mc Donnell was my great grandmother. She immigrated to NZ in 1879 aboard the ship Opawa. She was Bridget Agnes Neville, subsequently marrying James Mc Donnell. Bridget and James immigrated together always intending to be married which they did so in Nelson, NZ. James worked at a flax mill in Waverley for a short time then moved on to Mangamahu. While in Waverley Bridget gave birth to John Mc Donnell, 1891, who sadly died at 5 weeks old and is buried there.
