  • Hi helpful people

    Does anyone know anything about my John Sweeney/Sweeny, born somewhere in Tipperary about 1842 and migrated to Australia sometime in the 1860s?  All the details I have are above.  I'd love to know the name of his parish or townland so I can try to find out more about his family.  I haven't been able to verify anything in Ireland.

    Thanks very much

    Shelley
