If you are a Murphy from Mathoura, NSW or a Purtell from Balranald, Hay or Denniliquin, NSW and Bendigo,VIC then London to a brick, you are a cousin. Anyone find any of these names familiar?

Dear Tom, Your RYAN connection sounds interesting. My maternal Great Grandparents, John FAHEY (1846-1913)and his wife Mary RYAN (1848-1928)and young James(1 year old) arrived in Brisbane on the "Renfrewshire" on the 20th of September,1875, having emigrated from Co. Tipperary aboard the Renfrewshire. I know there are millions (perhaps zillions) of Faheys and Ryans but maybe, just maybe, there may be a connection. I don't know their GGGrandparents names as yet.

I wondered if you had any info on relatives of your Harriet Watson of Tas.? In Eastern Tas. for example. I have a Miss Watson who married Dr Naylor of the hospital at Swanport? in the middle to late 1800s.
