Re: Help with Miniter research
You are lucky to have an unusual name in Clare. If you check Sheila's parish records transcriptions for Feakle @ the library site, you will find just 3 baptisms in the period you are searching. One of them for an Edmund Miniter to a Patrick & Mary Mcnamara in 1847 - it is possible this child died an...

Re: GUERINS Co Clare to South Australia 1846
I have a Hehir relation in SA who married a Phyllis Monica Guerin, related to the John Guerin on "Hoogly". There were Guerins (Michael & wife, nee Ganly according to your info) on the Birman, whom I believe were related to the Hoogly Guerins. The Birman ship was commissioned by the famous Captain Ba...

Re: Fr. Patrick Quaid
Sadly, many who wield the power in the USA do not make the connection between a decent lifestyle (affordable healthcare, affordable education, safe and reliable services) with a well-funded and uncorrupted public sector! Many in my country don't make that connection either, but, luckily enough citiz...

Hi Sharon, slow internet almost worse than no internet for researchers, so you are in our thoughts as you work towards a solution - sad it has to involve the upheaval of a house move. Good luck.

Re: Recognition of the Irish Republic
Hi Sheila, thank you for your response. As you may know, the Irish made up about 25% of the Oz population pre WW2, so there has been a long, strong following of all things Irish. Many of the early obituaries contained the phrase "Irish papers please copy". My paternal great, great grandfather is bur...

Recognition of the Irish Republic
I have followed the "exploits" of Thomas McNamara of Glandree and can see the contributors are trying to set a record of posts! I'm not complaining, as I find them interesting and informative. Some of the posts contained comment on the fight to recognise the Republic and it reminded me of my Dublin ...

Re: Plunder & Piracy
Hi Darren, most of my ancestors came from near Corrofin and, whilst there is a McMahon connection, it is a common name, so probably not directly connected. I did a search for the 4 men who were said to be transported to Australia in 1849 and could find no records of transportation. I am wondering if...

Plunder & Piracy
Thank you for the post re piracy on the river in Clare. My grandchildren will be excited to know they not only have a "Terry Alt" ancestor, but possibly ancestors associated with "pirates" in the 1840's. I've told them the stories of the earlier Viking sources of "pirates" to Ireland, but having you...

Re: An O'Grady Path into New Zealand History
Re Gavin - in my searches for a Patrick Gavin in Oz, I came across the shipping record for the following: arrival on the Tudor, 1860 in Sydney, from Tulla, Co Clare: Michael Gavin - father Thadeus, mother Hannah (he is in the Tulla baptisms (1839 @ Clonlohan) to this couple, m=Hanna Loughlin) Patric...

Re: Query about those tried under White Boys Acts 1831 at Ennis
Thanks for your comments Murph. When I read the full O'Gorman transcript, there is one mention of an interpreter, which helps my query (in part). A large number of the Irish convicts on the ship Asia in 1831 were recorded as neither able to read nor write, and given the political context, it wouldn'...

Re: Query about those tried under White Boys Acts 1831 at Ennis
"It's grand" (as my Dublin Grandma would have said) that you posted the full transcript, Phil, as I only had the few pages of Stephen's trial. So many thanks for sending me the document. Whilst I have been reading various work on the Whiteboys Acts and the Special Commission, this transcript of the ...

Query about those tried under White Boys Acts 1831 at Ennis
Hi all - I am hoping an Irish historian can assist me with a question about the men tried at Ennis under the White Boy Acts in 1831. There is a (partial) transcription which Peter (the librarian) kindly sent me a few years ago of the trial of Stephen Hehir on 25th June 1831, published as " A report ...

Re: Donnellan b.1838 Sixmilebridge
Hi Meredith, welcome to this great forum. Just a few tips: the pattern of baptism names is fairly consistent up to early 1900s, but you need to allow for deaths & the many unrecorded/missing baptisms, of course. Re surname spelling - most Irish migrants in 1800s spoke Irish, not English, and had not...

Re: John Vandeleur of Cloonsnaghta
Hi Dmaynus, I have distant relatives in Ireland who also have a Dutch surname and my searching has led me to believe there were possibly 2 groups of migrants from The Netherlands/Belgium who settled in Ireland in the mid-late 1700s. One group seem to be Catholics, escaping the turmoil created by Nap...

Hi again Phil - for your penance, more time in the archives! Your Reilly ancestor arrived on the same ship in 1852 as my Bartholomew Hehir & Michael Hynes ancestors - the Lord Dalhousie!! As Alison Alexander's excellent book, Tasmania's Convicts - How Felons Built a Free Society shows, most were sen...
