Any info on my farming ancestors would be appreciated. Their children migrated early 1850's to Australia, probably via Californian goldfields, with Maloney cousins.

Hi there,
Thank you very much for your query to Ireland Reaching Out. Have you tried looking for information about Thomas and Catherine in the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38)? You have a rough idea of where they were from, so you might be ablw to confirm this if you try this record.
Kind regards,
Sinead Cooney

Hello Sinead
Thanks for your suggestion about the Tithe Applotment Books - I have found them useful for locating several of my ancestors, although the information offered is rather limited.
Not sure whether I actually found Thomas and Catherine without checking back so will take another look.
Thanks again for your help - really appreciate your input

Hi Lynda,
do you have anything further on Thomas and Catherine? My Thomas Dwyer died young in Ireland and Catherine remarried. (2 children of the first marriage.) Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Roisin.
