Misc. Notes
Name of “Lillian Mary McGonagle”, year of death (1952), married surname (Richardson), from Muriel Leo’s (nee Oliver, 1917-1998) Family Tree records, typed copy of “Taranaki Biography” files.

In September 2018, while building the children of “Zephelinda Edith Carrel and James Charles Richardson”, Brian of nzolivers.com discovered that their oldest son (Charles Douglas Richardson) married this “Mary Lillian McGonagle”!

This Mary Lillian McGonagle’s maternal grandmother was “Mary Ann Oliver” born 1826. It is interesting that her husband is descendant from the Carrells.

Brian is a descendant of the Carrels through his paternal grandmother (Maud Carrel) marrying his paternal grandfather (Louis Oliver). Now, we see another marriage of an Oliver descendant to a Carrel descendant!

The order of the given names has been changed here to: “Mary Lillian”
