Hello Dennis Thank you so much for these transcripts - I am in the middle of breaking down one of my biggest brick walls! Yesterday I also found out from a cathedral in Melbourne that Wm Augustus Wilkinson was brought out from Dublin to be the organist at a cathedral there. By way of explanation.......I feel he may be the uncle of my Thomas Scott Wilkinson WELSBY- son of James WILKINSON of Baggot St.. Thomas also played music and taught piano under the name of Wilkinson in the wilds of Queensland - and was lost in the bush. (I'm lucky to be here! :) Don't know why he sometimes used the name Welsby. Thanks to Irish Genealogy, I found he had a sister - Ellen Welsby WILKINSON. (Oh.... the mystery of it all.) Thanks again for your help, Cheers Sandra, Brisbane Aust.
