My husband's ancestors are John McWHA and Sophia McWHA (nee MURRAY) from County Down.They emigrated to NZ with their daughter Mary Agnes McWHA, on the "Mermaid", arriving at Lyttelton in 1862.Another daughter, Margaret Whitley McWHA was born in NZ.About 22 years ago my husband's father corresponded with a Frank McWHA living then in Lower Hutt, NZ.They were unable to establish whether or not their branches of the McWHA families were connected.I would be interested to know what information you have.Please get in touch.
