This is part 1 of 3 in a series about tracing Jane McNabb.

Francis & Catherine McNabb, my great-great-grandparents, came to New Zealand in 1873/4 aboard the ship Isles of the South with four children – recorded as: Jane (7), Edward (5), Catherine (3) and Mary A (5 months).

Francis & Catherine were from near the village of Drumquin, County Tyrone, Ireland. His parents were Michael McNabb & Jane Mullins, while her parents were Patrick Farnan & Catherine Percy.
