Hi Barbara, CAHILL must be as popular as Smith~ to be sure! to be sure! The parents of my Mary CAHILL were Thomas Cahill and Margaret McCabe. Mary's 1877 marriage certificate at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Brisbane states she was born in Kilkenny, Kilkenny (I guess that could be Parish or City and the County) She married Denis Finnegan, who died in 1883. As you have probably found there are many many Thomas Cahills and it is difficult to trace the right line.

Hi there Thanks for the reply, didn't I look up this person for you some time ago. I seem to recall I had difficulty trying to tie her up, wasn't she at Sth Bne. Have come across a few Cahills, like the O'Briens. Just had a few hours at Archives, and whilst waiting for some research to be printed out, was shown a "new" book on the shelves that is an Index to properties and farm grass lands, and found a reference to my father's father who has property at Springsure, seems in 1894 he purchases 3000 acres at 1 pence per acre, for that price I guess we would all scrimp and save to buy. They seem to be putting out new records all the time, I know there is a team of volunteers who do a lot of transcribing, I was aksed once if I was interested, but because I do 2 days at GSQ and indexes etc for them I didn't think I had the time. Looks like we won't get any more Catholic Parishes to Index due to the Privacy Act and also an "edic" from the Pope last year that the Church will not co-operate with the LDS, we are probably lucky they have been able to so so much in the past. Well must go have to do a research report for the work I did this morning.
