Hi, anyone run across any of my ancestors on their research travels? 1. Patrick John KEATING baptised 20 Dec 1864 probably in Caherciveen, Co Kerry 2. Catherine BARRY born in Kerry about 1845 - by 1867 she was married and in Australia (She married a Thomas SLATER from London in Australia) 3. Margaret BOURKE - said to be from Limerick - came to Australia aged about 18 in about 1836. May all reserchers have a great year in 2002, full of dicovery and fun.
