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?
