Needing more information on ancestors of Robert Farrell

Question

Hi,

I am looking for more information on the ancestors of Robert Farrell. He was born in County Meath, Ireland in 1827. He later moved to Cape Town, South Africa and Tauranga, New Zealand. His mother and father may possibly be named John Farrell and Margaret (Newman) Farrell. Anything will be appreciated.

Thank you,

M
