Hi everyone Total newbie to this list and would love some advice of tracing my family from County Clare. The details I have are - Mary Ann Nora FOLEY b. abt 1826 Myart, Co Clare married Michael Martin COLLINS in Aug 1845 in Carrigohall, Co Clare. Michael was born abt 1825 in Myart, Co Clare. Mary Ann's parents were Michael & Honor FOLEY nee KANE. Michael's parents were Martin & Margaret COLLINS nee McGRATH. Mary Ann & Michael arrived in Australia in 1855, along with various members of both families. There is a story in the family which I have decided to research a bit further - and that is the family is from a Spanish background. I do know that Mary Ann was reputedly found frequently on the verandah in the rocking chair singing Spanish songs/song. Any advice or help on where to follow this family further would be greatly appreciated. This is my first foray onto Irish soil :-) Many thanks in advance Maria Thomas LAKE MUNMORAH, NSW
