Hello Jan, No, they remained in Killeshandra. Their eldest son, William Robert PHAIR did emigrate sometime prior to 1900 (mentioned in John's Will of that date). He was a Miner in WA, then came to Sydney where he married an Irish girl in 1903. They were my husband's grandparents and lived in Leichhardt, NSW, all their lives.
