Looking for Mary Ellen Kate Catherine O Brien Born Ngapara Otago 1880 1890

We have traced the rest of the O'Brien children of Michael and Mary (nee Walsh) that were born in Ngapara, but have been unable to trace these last three.

We have Oamaru Parish records that show Ellen born 9/11/1883, Mary born 9/7/1886 and Kate born 13/7/1891.

Ngapara school records show Ellen (Nellie) left school Dec 1898, Mary left August 1902 and Catherine left Dec 1904, but that is the last information we have of them.

No records of deaths on NZ BDM meet near ages of the girls if they remained spinsters, and so far, marriage certificates we have requested have been wrong.

We think the girls probably lived Timaru, Christchurch or Wellington areas in NZ.

Can any one help, please

We have found Ellen (Nellie) and Mary, so only Catherine/Kate left.
