Clare Currie

Looking for information:
John Drane m Rebecca McCormack I believe she was born in Ulster, Ireland.
They had 3 children.
John Drane born 14-01-1865 in Kent England, John Currie Died 22-11-1916
He left the UK went to South Africa then on to Australia where I believe he was a shearer, then came to New Zealand, where he married Mary Agnus Jeffares, they lived in Wanganui, N.Z.
Have been told he had a sister living in Australia.
For some unknown reason he changed his name from Drane to Currie
Any information would be of interest.
