Not much. Born 4 April, 1856 in Menolough, Galway. Not much is known about Honor, although it's pretty certain she came to NZ, not the US. She may have changed her name to Margaret when she arrived in NZ in 1871 and if that is so, then she married and had children - one of her grandchildren being Yvonne. A Margaret Reynolds is listed as an arrival on the Charlotte Gladstone, which arrived at Lyttleton on 21 Jan 1871 she is listed as 18 and as a General Servant.

On the other hand, the 1880 US federal census shows an Honor Reynolds, born in Ireland, aged 23 living at Bradford, McKean, Pennsylvania, USA
