James married Ann Mackin (McLoughlin) from Burren, Clonallon, Co. Down. Apparently the McLoughlin name was changed to Mackin for “political reasons”. No marriage certificate. Unlike his brothers James does not appeared to have traveled at any time to New Zealand. No will found. Through marriage to the Mackin family, the Quinns are connected to the Marmion family and the Murney family. |

| In 1884, Nicholas states that Drummmanlane, Kilkeel was his place of residence in Ireland. I don't know if this was his place of birth or where Nicholas lived in Ireland after he married Mary Cunningham abt. 1856. There were no Quinns or Cunninghams living in Drummanlane at the time of the 1901 census. Possible immigration to Australia before moving on to NZ.

Waimate, New Zealand. All photographs taken and copyright: Murray Lynn | Birth: no record. Immigration: No record. Abt 1859 according to info. given on death cert. Definitely prior to 1863 according to land registry. It appears that William arrived in New Zealand circa 1859. He will not have arrived for the Otago gold rush which didn't start until the early 1860s, nor the Westland gold rush which started towards the mid 1860s. The 1859 date for immigration is interesting. Note the following: Immigration to Australia - may have gone from Australia to NZ. Family Name First Name Age Month Year Ship Port Fiche Page QUINN NICHOLAS 28 JUL 1859 TUDOR B 165 003 QUINN JAS 26 JUL 1859 TUDOR B 165 004 It would be interesting to see the original manifest to determine if the transcription is accurate. I would have expected Nicholas and William to travel together. (There are also references to James Quinn in New Zealand that are unsettled). The Crown grant ("Queen to William QUINN”) of section 6548 indicates that William QUINN had it from 24 Dec 1863. Section 11058 appears in deeds with 6548 and it appears that he had it from 07 Jan 1867. The date of the grant is actually 04 Nov 1871 for 180 acres in total which is later than those dates so am wondering if he at first had an agricultural lease or simply squatted on the land at first. I don't know what the situation was regarding land in South Canterbury in 1863. (Source: Peter Dillon). Update Rural Section 6548 Went to LINZ yesterday for an hour before I went to work - there were a few remortgagings but I also looked at 9 W 238 which concerns the will of William QUINN (which is repeated - we already have this from Archives NZ) and the land concerned in his estate. As well as the land mentioned in my previous email he also had some plots at Makikihi township when he died. I had a quick look at the land registers concerning those and he actually had a couple more at Makikihi than were listed re his estate but he must have sold them by then. The stuff about 4 acres being excepted from the total acreage of lands - that was the bit that was set aside for the railway in the memorial of registration # 46344 (Source: Peter Dillon).
