Hi Tarnya,
I do believe I know your mother - Joanne... infact, Jo and your sister, Christine
visited me at my home in Wellington earlier this year!!
Went to a family reunion with your uncle, Michael McCarthy down in Dunedin in about July
too!!
I would not be at all suprised if the extensive list that you have may have come from me
orginally as I have provided Joanne and Michael with alot of information over the years
:-) however, if you would like to compare and have any gaps filled would be more than
happy to do so...
I am sure you have by now worked out that there are actually two James Claude Carnegies!
the one you mentioned - being the brother of Velma (who my mother lives near by and knows
quite well) was the son of your great-grandfather Angus David James Carnegie (known as
Jim) and his wife Elsie Lilian Holdway. Angus (or Jim as he was known) was the brother
of my grandmother, Agnes Catherine Carnegie (known as Rene) and thier father (my
great-grandfather and your great-great grandfather) was James Claude Carnegie. This
James Claude preferred to be known as Claude and he married Agnes Hogg. It was Claude
that had the parents David Carnegie and Catherine McCubbin.... (after David's death
Catherine remarried and became Catherine Hayward)
Anyway - hope this all makes sense!
Feel free to drop me a line if you want to share or obtain further info... as I have
family data dating back to the mid 1700's :-)
looking forward to hearing from you :-)
Kind regards,
Danielle
