Greetings from Sydney, I am trying to find more about the family of Winifred FRAWLEY born ca 1833 in Newmarket on Fergus. Father was Michael FRAWLEY and mother Mary (or Ellen) O'KEEFE. It is believed that Winifred emigrated to Australia on the ship Blenheim at the age of 20 in November 1853. There is a Bridget FRAWLEY, age 19 on the same ship, who is believed to be her sister but there is no proof of this. Any information regarding Winifred's parents and siblings are eagerly desired.
