Thanks Ellen Living in Australia makes it a challenge to view church records ..... I don't have a clue about which church I'd begin with !. We plan to travel to Ireland again but need something more tangible that I have at this point to make such a trip worthwhile.

Your only chance is to find the parish church and read any available sacramental registers. However, because of the redundancy of names, it is imperative that you know both the parents' names to distinguish the child from others of the same name. The Family History Library Catalog does not have church records.

Any record of their births, baptism, location 2. Any record of their parents 3. Any record of their emigration ... ships lists ... arrivals etc. What I know 1. Patrick was illiterate 2. I don't think his family held any property 3. He was an Agricultural Labourer in Australia; involved with horses it seems 4. Elizabeth was about 14 when she arrived in Australia and therefore would have been accompanied by family or 'trusted adults'. 5. If the naming tradition applies there must have been other children in the family Ray Niemann ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FIANNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FIANNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hello all, How can I go about tracing the marriage and parentage of my g-g-grandparents from Tipperary. Willam BRITT married Ann FOGARTY and arrived in South Australia in 1851. William Britt b C1822 Tipperary, Ireland, d 8th July 1992 at Penola, South Australia Ann(e) Fogarty b C1825 Tipperary Ireland, d 13th October 1894 at Mount Gambier, South Australia. I do not have the names of the parents of either Anne or William, or which part of Tipperary they hailed from. Britt remains a rare surname in South Australia, but there were others bearing the surname Britt who arrived in SA in the mid C19. There would appear to be some family connection, and William's father or uncle may have been a Malick Britt (who probably did not emigrate). Other Britts from Tipperary who did come to SA were: Thomas Britt born C1819 d Adelaide 1902 (aged 83) John Britt born C1857, arrived 1866 'Peeress' occupation: Labourer, Carrier Patrick Britt born C1846, father Malick Britt, arrived 1866 'Peeress" occpn: Labourer Timothy Britt born b C1839 arrived 1858 "Nuggett" occ: Labourer Any ideas or assistance in any direction would be appreciated.
