Hi All I have just joined this group and have found the discussions interesting. Thought someone might have some light to shed on my DWYER family links. The ones I know of are from Northern NSW (Walgett) but they had to come from somewhere closer to a port somewhere along the line. Key Surnames: DWYER, HALLORAN, HEFFERAN, BREEN I think I'll try to keep my queries limited to one branch at a time so following is what I have of Patrick Dwyer (Snr)'s family. ANY pointers at all would be helpful. Particularly addresses or databases that I might be able to find more info from. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Patrick Dwyer (Snr) born 1810 Thurles, Tipperary, Ireland married 1850 to Ellen Halloran (previously Ellen Hefferan) in Queanbeyan died 16 August 1906 Stockyard Gully, Canowindra ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- Children of Patrick Dwyer & Ellen Halloran Daughter b 1851 John b 1853 in Queanbeyan m Margaret Breen in Yass Feb 1874 d 1935 in Walgett James b 1854 in Queanbeyan Son b 1856 in Qeanbeyan Bridget b 1857 in Queanbeyan d 1857 William b 1858 in Queanbeyan d 1859 Patrick Jnr b 1862 Yass John was my ggg grandfather.
