I am looking for any info I can get on Sarah Ellen Tierney. She was my Great Grandmother. She married in New Zealand in 1896. I am unable to find a birth record for her in New Zealand or any birth record anywhere else. I can't find an arrival for her to New Zealand either. It's getting rather frustrating. I have an idea that her family may have come from Ireland as when I was a child my mother used to say we were descended from the Tierney's from Tipperary.

Can anyone please help?

Hi Leanne,
thanks for helping. I have now got some extra info after ordering her marriage printout. Her parents names are John Tierney and Jane (nee Harlin) I have discovered they married in Sydney. It seems they had a few children in Australia and then moved to NZ and had a few more. I believe Sarah Ellen to have been one of the younger children so presume she was born in NZ.
I have found records for some of her siblings: Emily Charlotte 1869 -NZ / Margaret Elizabeth 1863 -NZ / Mary 1849 -Australia / Catherine 1850 -Australia / John & Patrick twins 1853-Australia /

There are also three other Tierney children, Jane abt 1858 / William abt 1855 and another Margaret 1866 . I'm not sure about these three, apparently born in NZ but there seems to be a second couple called John and Jane Tierney as the two Margaret's are only born 3 years apart and the first one doesn't seem to have past away before the second one is born. Although I could be wrong about that.

Any help much appreciated.

Hello Suzy,

I have a Sarah Ellen Tierney as a witness on the marriage cert of my great grandparents on 10 Sept 1891, Paddington, Sydney. My GG were James Bald and Elizabeth Ann Howell. Not long after their marriage they moved to New Zealand. I'm assuming that Sarah would have been a friend of one or both of my GGs.
May not be the same Sarah as yours, but if it is I thought it may be of interest and provide a hint for location of records.

Regards
Kevin Neilson

Hi Kevin Sarah may have know Elizabeth Howell as a friend. Sarah's sister Elizabeth Tierney married a James Howell in Dec 1883 here in Auckland, New Zealand.
