Hi Pete, It sounds very likely that there is a link between the ENGLISH and FARRELL families - but I'm afraid that I don't know quite how they connect. The Con English you mention as a sponsor in 1862 may well have been of my family but it isn't clear. I've just looked through all of my transcription material - but there are no Farrells in my records from Annacarty or Clonoulty and it isn't in the right timeframe for you anyway. Good luck. Let me know if you find any extra clues. Cheers, Allan On 5 July 2011 09:51, farrell peter <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Allan, > I was interested in your English records.
