My great grandparents were married in Abbeyleix in 1875. He was Joseph Cantwell, son of Jacob and Deborah (née Newman) and his wife was Jemima Green, daughter of Arthur Green. On their marriage certificate (Church register) Jemima gives her current residence as ‘Springmount’ with her father Arthur also from ‘Springmount’ There is no record of who the mother was or where she was living. Once Joseph and Jemima emigrated to Australia (also in 1875), she then gives her place of birth on all birth death and marriage records as being Tyrone, County Tyrone. I am at a dead end with my search for Jemima’s family. Any ideas/leads would be greatly appreciated. (She would have been born around 1850’s) Many thanks Judy
