Hello Jan, Your message does not convey to me whether you have actually traced the O'Neills in Cairns, if you haven't you might find the following useful as they have biographies for various areas in the Cairns district between 1876 - 1920. For a SSAE + 2 stamps you can send to Cairns & District FHS, PO Box 5069, Cairns, Qld 4870 & they will send you further information.
