Hi Pam

I am descended from John O'Halloran and Catherine O'Brien. Bridget O'Halloran is my  g/g grandmother. I am keen to connect with you and share family history.

Cheers

Hi Kim,

Good to hear from another O'Halloran connection, they have been my nightmare over the last 12 years

even after travelling to Ireland and not finding anything new. Kim where did you find that they were from Croom?

I know they all finished up in Victoria probably looking for gold initially. I see on Ancestry you have collected some

information from Jill Kerr I have also been in touch with Jill over the years. I have found my gt. gt. gt. grand

mother Ellen's baptism, she was baptised in St. Michaels church in Limerick city (Prior's Land) on 29th. July 1829

and Paul was baptised on 28th. June 1832 at St. Johns, Limerick city, I  have not been successful in findind Mary

or Bridgets baptisms. I do not know what happened with Mary, cannot find a marriage, death. My thoughts are did

she go back to Ireland to be with her mother? I believe they moved to the country after the death of their father, also

Paul's occupation was listed as a farmer, he arrived in Victoria on the British Trident in July 1855.

Take care,

Pam...Sydney

Hi Pam

Hmmm, I have had a quick look this morning and can't find anything close to hand so I am guessing I picked it up somewhere on ancestry.com. I will keep looking though as I have a number of sources of information now and haven't checked them all yet due to lack of time as I am off to work.

I must point out that my interest in family history is very new and initially I grabbed lots of information off the net without verifying it. I learned my lesson very quickly though and have some work ahead of me in sorting through the fact from the fiction. *sigh* beginners mistake I guess.

Jill has been an invaluable source of information to me and very generous with sharing. Have you ever been in touch with Judy? she is also decended from Bridget O'Halloran.

Happy to talk more and swap email addresses/phone numbers. I am located near Newcastle.

Cheers

Kim
