Hello everyone, I have not posted to this list before, so am hoping someone may be able to help me find my very elusive family. I am looking for Colman, specifically George Colman who, according to his Australian enlistment papers for the army, says he was born "near the town of Carlow in the county of Carlow, Ireland". George is my great-grandfather's brother. I can find no information at all about my great-grandfather, Thomas, apart from the fact that he spent some time in Australia and died in New Zealand in 1903 supposed aged 52. This is a family that seems to excel in stretching the truth, so hopefully someone may be able to help me. Many thanks. Kay from Papakura, New Zealand
The Carlow town Colemans, are well documented. They are one of the oldest established families in the area. Nearby Rutland, Church of Ireland, was / is their parish for generations.
