DUNSHEA, FLEMING. All Dunshea families in Australia and New Zealand are related, and are descended from William DUNSHEA and Jane FLEMING. William was deported to Australia aboard the Martha in 1818, after being convicted in County Antrim of the crime of stealing two pigs. His wife and eldest son joined him in Sydney in 1825, and five more children were born to the couple.

A so-called New Zealand branch of the family was founded by Samuel DUNSHEA, youngest son of the couple, who married Clementina ALLEN in Dunedin in 1863. Almost all New Zealand Dunsheas are descended from them.

John William DUNSHEA of Queensland, a descendant of the eldest son of William and Jane, left Australia and established a second New Zealand group of Dunsheas, both descended from William DUNSHEA and Jane FLEMING.
