Lingard New Zealand

Hi
I am posting this as I have seen links on a UK (closed ) forum for someone looking for this mans brother
William Lingard was born at Cooga Ruan to Thomas Lingard captain Kings borderers and Waterloo veteran. His mother was Maria Kenny - a cousin of mine.
He emigrated to New Zealand in 1863 after studing in Edinburgh university and earned the New Zealand Cross in the Maori wars. He later set up a successful insurance agency in Wellington and came back to Clare on visits. His parents had a mixed marriage several of his sisters were nuns in the sisters of Mercy in Ennis. He was protestant. http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarl ... -b5-1.html
I have seen posts from someone looking for Roger Rowson Lingard his brother who also went to New Zealand. While I dont know anything about Roger I do have information on the rest of the Lingard siblings and on the sisters and the Kenny ancestry
