Researching Pactrick McCormac/k and wife Nancy Maher, Son John McCormac born approx 1843 Tipperary. Australian records indicates that he sailed to Australia - Port Adelaide abour 1858 -1860 as a single man and with sister Ellen McCormac/k. Parents born approx 1820. John settled in South Australia in a place called Kapunda and raised seven children. My husband is a great grandson of John McCormac and we know nothing of his parents Patrick and Nancy McCormac/k. Would greatly appreciate any information regarding family living in Tipperary. John died in a place called Mildura-Victoria-Australia about 1903. His death notice states his father is Patrick McCormac/k and mother Nancy Maher.

Hello Archiebald,
I did a quick search of www.rootsireland.ie and found a baptismal record for John McCormack born 1839 - 1841 , with father's name Patrick McCormack and mother surname Maher (I dont know what the name Nancy would be short for) in the parish of Holycross, in Co. Tipperary.
I think it would be worth viewing this record to glean any more info from it. It would cost you about €5 but I feel it would be worth it.
Also go to the site www.askaboutireland.ie and look at the Griffith valuations
www.titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie
Hope this is of some help to you,
Regards,
Anne Dennehy

Helen,
The rootsireland website works on credit card, so when you input your details it will automatically convert your australian dollars to pounds. It's a not for profit organisation so they try to keep costs down. I think its great that it's pay per view, you don't have to lash out a small fortune for membership.
Best of luck in your search,
Regards,
Anne
