Hello,
I am searching for information on my GG Grandfather Florence Harrington
born about 1822
Arrived in Australia around 1861
Married in the Victorian Goldfields Australia in 1863 and died in 1882
His father's name is listed as Jeremiah and Mother as Johanna on the Death Certificate -
Would be most appreciate if anyone can help with extra information about his birth, where he may have lived etc.
Many thanks
Sue

Hi Sue,
Thank you very much for your message.
I did a search for Jeremiah in Griffith?s Valuation. This is a property valuation survey that was carried out in Ireland in 1848-64. Here is what was recorded in Kilcatherine:
There was also a Florence Harrington recorded in the parish in 1852:
Also, did you know that church records from Kilcatherine are available free of charge at http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ so hopefully you may be able to find some records pertaining to the family here.
Some other websites that you may find useful are:
