    3. I'm new to list so hullo to all. My interest is - CORKERY Mortimer aka Murty, b c1851, Cork, Co Cork, IRL arrived Sydney Feb 1876 went to Gulgong NSW to brother Patrick already here both goldminers family legend says Murty went to Palmer River goldfield - no other details possibly accompanied by brother - CORKERY Timothy, b c1853, Cork, Co Cork, IRL Arrived with brother Mortimer not sure if he went to Palmer River also Parents of all 3 brothers were - CORKERY Timothy and Mary still living in Cork, Co Cork, IRL when Mortimer and Timothy emigrated. I would be wildly excited if anyone was doing research in this family and we were connected. If not, can anyone give me an idea of where to start tracing Mortimer and/or Timothy Palmer River. I've read a bit of the history of the goldmining there. Looks as if they would not have been there long as they arrived 1876, went to Gulgong, then to Qld so probably late 1870s. They could have moved on or died there. Any help would be appreciated. I'm in central NSW small town so no access to libraries etc. TIA, Alice
