Hi Joan, I can tell you that the NZ BDMs are not available online. I'm not sure where Killarney is, but you'd probably find the NZ BDM fiche available at some of the larger repositories in Melbourne, e.g. State Library or maybe GSV. They can be very hard to use, due to lack of data given in the indices.

Or if anyone is familiar with SHEEDY research in NZ it would be a help in tracing SHEEDY born CLARE.
