Sorry for the cross posting but I hope to reach the widest audience On behalf of a contact in the UK I am trying to match up our families and we are looking for the GAYNON or GAYNOR families who emigrated to Australia from Tipperary approximately 1880 onwards. We know a family of Gaynons were in the Narrabri area around this time and are sure they were connected to the Gaynors. Specifically we are looking for Denis Gaynor (born c 1862) and John Gaynor (born c 1870). There is family folklore that they may have emigrated to the US via Australia. Before we start searching the US we figured we had better exhaust our resources here. The Gaynon/r families were associated with the Bollards and possibly a Howard Russell or Russell Howard (not sure of which order this name should be). If there is anyone in the Narrabri area who may be able to assist there would be some grateful researchers in Sydney & the UK who would be happy to return the favour. Many thanks in advance Lorraine Searching HENNESSY, RYAN, DAWSON, MOY, FITZGERALD, GAYNON (or GANNON or GAYNOR) all from Tipperary around 1850s. Settled Camden, Cowra, Raymond Terrace, Hill End, Wellington, Narrabri NSW
