Cameron:

I searched Roots again and none of those records I located were for your William.

We did not discuss religious affiliation but Roots only has RC records for Mullingar back to 1831 and earlier. if the family was C of I then the Mullingar records do not begin until 1849.

Hi Roger, William was R Catholic and buried in the RC part of the cemetery. There were I think 3 Birmingham families living in the Casion area QLD. The other 2 seem to have come from Cork.  So it is a puzzle.

Thanks for looking

All the best

Ireland XO, Please get rid of the last post - spam / troll, whatever.

Hi Cam:

I will  forward this post to a volunteer in the Mullingar area who might be able to help.  You might consider creating an Ancestor profile for one of the Birmingham family members on the XOChronicles if you have not already done so.  The link is here:

The best of luck with your research.
