Hi Miriam Yes....I have seen all the different spellings....can become very confusing sometimes.....the one my Grannie's cousin used was Learhinan......it is also spelt that way on her grave in Australia.....I am hoping that this new connection with Grant will open up some new possibilities for me! ...

Hi Paddy Just an update on my quest for info on my Sexton/King family. Thanks for the address...it looks like I might have struck gold! I received an email from David Twomey & he thought the David Twomey I was talking about may have been his father's Uncle & he was going to pass it onto his Uncle th...

Thanks Paddy...I was thinking maybe a daughter?

I will do a snail mail tomorrow....ta again......& look at all those Sextons!

Annie

Thanks Paddy

Might pop off a few lines to David....prob be a bit cheaper than a phone call from Aus. Do you need any postcode after the Ennis?

The age for the Catherine could fit in.....Catherine Sexton & David Twomey were married in 1939....

Thanks again.....one small step.....

Hi All I posted on here a few years back & received the most wonderful & warm help...so am hoping that somebody can help me with this query. My GG Grannie....Honor Sexton came to Australia in 1867.....married a convict & now there are generations who are living here. Her parents were Thomas Sexton &...

Hi All I just wanted to say a BIG THANKYOU for all the help I have been receiving....I never imagined I would have received all this info. You are all very warm & generous people. Making my way through it all & trying to put some pieces together! Unfortunately I still haven't made any connection wit...

Thanks Lucille....that is so good of you. Not sure I'll still be around when they get to Clare! Have had a quick look at that site....may have found some of my Dad's rels from his mother's side, from Dublin. Will wait to hear from you before I go to our local Library as Miriam suggested....that may ...

Wow....Lucille.....I am so excited! That is just great! Thankyou so much. I was pretty much sure that one of her siblings was a Thomas....from the Census...but to get actual dates & confirmed names is wonderful. If you can find out anything else it will be greatly appreciated. What would be the best...

Thanks Miriam....Had a quick look at Kevin's Site.....think I am going to need a long rainy arvo to go through it all! So it looks like maybe I can add O'Briens to the circle as well........the more the merrier!

Cheers, Annie

Thanks for the link to that site! It's pretty much confirming there is a connection btw the Sextons/Anglims & Learhinans. Now it's time to try & find my Honor's siblings....very grateful for all your help.

Annie

Ha ha...thanks guys! Since posting my original request, I have come across in the NSW Australia Assisted Immigrants List, that Honor's Mother's name is listed as Johanna....so maybe a typo on Honor's Marriage Certificate & it wasn't Susannah at all.It states that Thomas & Johanna are living at Mulla...

Hi There...hoping anyone out there can help me. My GGG Grandparents were Thomas Sexton & Susannah Anglim, born probably about the 1830s. Their daughter Honor /Annie born about 1848 & from Mullagh, came to Australia on board the " Sir Robert Sale ", arriving Dec 1867 when she was 19. Other than that ...
