Looking for info on John Knowles and his wife Mary Grace. He worked as a gardener for William Newman, solicitor in Kinsale, and won the award for melons at the Horticultural Society Show in 1845.

They had at least 7 children, Mary, John, Margaret, James, Kate, Jeremiah and William. They were baptised in the Roman Catholic Church at Kinsale between 1825 and 1841. Address was variously given as Kippagh, Kippogh, Keppagh.

Margaret emigrated to Australia, not sure how and when, but she was in Victoria by the late 1850s. She is my dad's grandmother.

I found her brother Jeremiah living in England from 1881. He was a musician.

Would appreciate more info on John and Mary, thier family background, dates of death etc.Thanks,

Dianne
