- Quigley Family Crest (22 KB)
Quigley is the principal English version of the Irish O'Coigligh, fromcoigleach, meaning 'unkempt'. The main origin of the family was in Co Mayo,where they were part of the powerful Ui Fiachrach tribal grouping. Fromthere they were dispersed at an early date, principally to the adjacentterritories now part of counties Sligo, Donegal and Derry, where the nameis principally found today. There appears also to have been a separate O'Coigligh family which arose in Co Wexford, where the name has beenanglicised for the most part as 'Cogley', although Quigley is alsofrequent. - Melvin Family Crest (30 KB)

My family SUTTON research begins with Richard & Elizabeth (OHara) SUTTON in Stockport England 1869. Richard was from Staffordshire and Elizabeth from Scotland. Born in July 1869 was son Joseph (no other siblings Known). Joseph completed High School at age 17 and began his practical career with the London Northwestern Railway and later the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway holding positions of station agent in Brighouse and Elland. He then went to London and engaged with the Bennett Shipping Company as their anger at Boulogne for 5 years. Joseph then went into business for himself in the Corn Market at Mark Lane for 10 years. At Liversedge in 1889 Joseph Married Miss Emily Law of Norwich a daughter of George and Zilla Law. In the Corn Market he was very successful and had amassed a great fortune until the famous corner in wheat was promoted by Leither, The outcome of the coup left Joseph in ruin. In 1903 with the famous Barr Colony, the SUTTON family boarded the SS Lake Manitoba and sailed for Canada, arriving in St. John NB, then by train to Toronto Ontario and finally by Wagon train to Saskatoon Saskatchewan. He had with him his wife, 11 children and a fortune of $80.00. Undaunted, he rented a Shack and went into the Milk business, strange occupation for once wealthy broker on the London Exchange. By 1909 he had bought the shack and property and a census of 1914 showed it to be worth $200,00.00. His next venture was to buy the Empire Hotel in 1910. He rebuilt the Hotel adding g and addition and the first Theatre and Opera House. By 1912 Joseph was worth over 1.2 million dollars. By now there had been fifteen children born to their marriage. Two died at birth the others being Hubert,Edward,Emily,Mabel,Joseph, Richard, Reginald, red,Patrica(my Grandmother),Charles,Raymond and Bernard. In 1920 due to bad advice Joseph again found himself with nothing. With the majority of the children grown Joseph, Emily and son Bernard boarded a train for Vancouver Canada and sailed for New Zealand d. My search is for information I don't have specifically in New Zealand. I have more information, which I will gladly share including photographs and my Grandmother book she wrote titled "No English Need Apply" - Samuel Quigley & Catherine Scully (41 KB)

Terry, Carden(b 1742; d 16 July 1821). Irish silversmith. He was apprenticed in 1758 and made a freeman of the City of Cork in 1785. He was one of the most prominent and influential tradesmen in Cork in the 18th century and early 19th. He campaigned without success to have an assay office established in Cork, as it was a constant source of annoyance to manufacturers and those dealing in plate that their wares had to be sent to Dublin to be tested and hallmarked. He worked in partnership with his daughter, JANE WILLIAMS, from 1807 until his death. A freedom box (1814; Washington, DC, N. Mus. Women A.; see IRELAND, fig. 23) made by Carden Terry and Jane Williams is engraved with the coat of arms of the City of Cork.
