I was wondering if Henry had a brother Arthur and Edward - I have a book that outlines the family in bits and pieces. My great great grandfather was from Farm Lodge near lurgan and his brother Hugh was from Laural Vale in Hillsborough.. Do you have any futrher information that may help clear this up. I have thought about getting the death certificate from New Zealand as it may show who his wife, children and parents are.
Would love to hear and share further information with you as I believe they are very closley related. I would also be interested if you know how the family came from Scotland to Ireland and where the link is??
Have you any more info about Capt Henry Mercer?
