David I have Aussie records up to 1920 so if you let me know his details I'll see what I can find. If you put these details on this list others may also be able to help, but feel free to write to me privately.

I too have some Cork relatives who are said to have gone to Australia, all early in the 20th century. The family stories were a bit vague, but one great-aunt went to visit them in the 1930s, I believe (she told my mother about it). The names are Michael, Jeremiah, Thomas and Denis Connolly, brothers from Knockskagh. Thomas seems the most likely, but the others are unaccounted for as well. Their youngest brother John was my grandfather, but I never knew him. Sheila Connolly Middleboro, MA **************Need a job? Find employment help in your area.

There are some MACKLIN references on the following site: http://www.bandon-genealogy.com/ Church of Ireland records for Innishannon are held at the RCB Library in Dublin (they do not undertake research) and cover the years 1693 to 1844 with some gaps. Later records are 'held locally' so you might contact the webhost at the Bandon website to see just where they are held. For the later BMDs you could try searching the pilot programme at Family Search: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/#p=collectionDetails;t=searchable;c=1408347 You might also try the New Zealand mailing list for information on the family who came here. Hope this is useful.

Hi David, Very cryptic, a little more info would be much appreciated, in fact anyone who posts to the list, give us all as much info that you may have, even info that you may think is unimportant, it may just have a little clue that you do not understand. On the US side, please include locations, places where people have emigrated to, the year of birth, year of emigration, place of emigration, naturalisation records, family members, place of residence, place of death, occupation, parents and sibling names and any info that you may have gleaned from older family members.

All my Macklins were nautical and in the Navy WWII. I have heard the names William and Florence before - I think they were born in Lanc and I ignored them at the time - as my Macklins came from Innishannon, County Cork in the early 1880s.

Good evening list: A Joseph Macklin born 1810 baptized September 10, 1810 at the Church of Ireland Innishannon. Married cir 1830 to a Jane [ ??? ] Macklin same church. Records access from Canada is a tad scarce. Would like to know the best source to locate the maiden name for Jane Macklin and to find out the names of Joseph Macklin's parents? Eric Macklin Toronto

Dennis, Thanks a million for these resources, I have been helping someone try and trace a famine orphan from Wexford, I wish wexford had the same resources. One thing that I find amazing is the number of Famine Orphans who's parents were still alive when they were being transported, they were not in fact orphans but relinquished children. Just a note on the Ireland-Australia Transportation database, where you see a TR reference on the convicts record, there is nothing extra held on file in the National Archives, what you see is what is there. On the other hand where you see a CRF record, that is where the Lieutrnant General has been petitioned for clemency, usually by an upstanding citizen on their behalf, these files are held in the National Archives and can give a lot of info on family, circumstances etc. Denis, I am particularly looking for information on an Equity case held in Bandon 1903/04, the case involved a Michael McCarthy V Mary McCarthy who were disputing land at Garranafeen, Kilbrittain, Cork, the place is now called Harbour View, I feel there may have been mention in the Cork Examiner, I have traced two adds in the Southern Star which relate to the action. Any info would be much appreciated. I am also helping a girl trace her Connery relations in Killeagh, Cork: Margaret Connery born to William Connery & Mary Curtin 26th June 1870, has anyone Connery in their family tree?

Good morning list: Looking for the local contact for County Cork for this new gnealogy group. Looking for information on the Macklin family of Inishannon. This is all I have to go on so far: Joseph Macklin [B cir +/- 1790 maried to a Jane [?] Macklin [B cir +/- 1800] Innishannon Children 1.Son - Robert Macklin [B cir +/- 1810] married to [?] Macklin [B cir +/- 1806] Ininshannon Children [?] Note: Robert was linen weaver possibly a merchant in the same trade for a while. Note: Robert is mentioned in the Griffith's valuation for Cork in 1851. Note: Robert was also involved with the local railway as a construction supervisor. 2.Son - Richard Macklin [B cir +/- 1812] married to [?] Macklin [B cir +/- 1808] Note: Richard Macklin served with the local 77th Foot Regiment from the Cork area Children [?] A Mary Macklin [B 1879] married to [?] Macklin Cork/Innishannon. A son [?] immigrated to New Zealand. A Daughter - Katherin [Kay] Macklin [B cir +/- 1876] in New Zealand Final Note: Macklin family was originally from the County Tyrone County Derry area. This family may have moved to the Inishannon area as it sounds similar to their even older connection with Inishowen area where the family was from in the 1750's. Prior to that the name was MacLochlainn. Also would love to hear from the Macklins in New Zealand to hear more about which Macklins moved there and any connections with a "Kay" Macklin.

Could have been a church clerk/curate Sheila, or a J.P or perhaps just someone convenient who lived in a shop or house next to the church. It could also have been a person who owned the property on which the grooms worked, or the manager - an honourary witness of some kind. It's strange, because weddings are planned so there's time to choose witnesses. I've pondered this myself as one of my umpteen-greats uncles appears to have attended almost every wedding in town!
