Do any of the Australian listers have any advice please on searching for a JEREMIAH McCARTHY ( yes, I know, mea maxima culpa ) who is thought to have left the Ballymartle area of Cork in the later 1880s for Australia? Apparently he never married and on his death left bequests to his siblings families back home and in England. In the late 1920's my father and his brothers and sister ( Jeremiah's nephews and niece ) emigrated to Western Australia to farm between Westonia and Walgoolan. This may have been land farmed by Jeremiah. Are there any 1890 1900 Australian census that are on-line? Where do you start? Mary

Mary I have found this for Western Australia at this stage, not sure whether it is related to your person or not Australian Electoral Rolls, 1901-1936 Name: Jeremiah McCarthy Gender: Male Electoral Year: 1916 State: Western Australia District: Fremantle Subdistrict: South Fremantle Address: 27 Jenkin Street Occupation: Labourer OR Australian Electoral Rolls, 1901-1936 Name: Jeremiah McCarthy Gender: Male Electoral Year: 1925 State: Western Australia District: Forrest Subdistrict: Forrest Address: Plavins Mill Occupation: Labourer The second one is more likely to be your man. There are scans available if you want me to send to you.
