SEERY Thomas and Michael

Thomas SEERY born circa 1828 in Roscommon joined the Royal Irish Constabulary

(RIC record 19/10/1853 to 23/04/1855 Registered Number 17083 recording he was a Catholic from Westmeath and shown to be 23 years old which suggests he could have been born in 1830.)

Thomas's RIC allocation was to Tipperary on 08/10/1853

Thomas left Ireland in 1860 for Australia and resided in New South Wales.

Michael SEERY born 05/11/1839 Castletown-Geoghegan (RIC member Registered Number 19351 although

RIC records Michael Seery Number 21758 an 18 yr old Catholic from Westmeath resigning 24/07/1860 "to emigrate" ) .

Thomas SEERY sponsored Michael to Australia where he arrived on the British Trident on 07/01/1861

Both Thomas and Michael joined the New South Wales Police Force in 1862

The parents of Michael are recorded as Michael SEERY and Anne COWLEY (DUBLIN) and only in recent years those same parents are also shown as also being Thomas's parents although I cannot find evidence that is fact

I have exhaustive records of their lives in Australia but I need some evidence of

1. parentage 2. where born 3. names/ages/location of siblings

I am the great grandson of Thomas and the Grandson of James one of Thomas's sons and seek further information
