Information Required on Joseph O Brien Nz

Joseph O'Brien married Lucy Routhen in New Zealand and they had four children. I am interested in where Joseph came from, the ship he sailed to NZ in and his family history in Ireland.

Hi, That's correct. He's my grandfather. Have you traced back to Ireland?
