Hi Everyone, I am new to this list and live in Western Australia. As a decendent of Mary Ann Russell I am researching the Russell family who arrived in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia in 1853. The following information came from their death certificates which as they died in Melbourne, Victoria is pretty good as to the names of the parents but a bit lacking as to the actual place of birth other than Cork. John Russell born about 1801 in Cork, father Edward Russell, mother Mary Corrigan. Mary Russell born about 1801 in Cork, Father Jeremiah McDonnell, mother Bridget Neeham. Their family came with them. Mary Ann born 1836 John born 1837 remained in Ireland Edward born 1838 Bridget born 1943 Ellen born 1845 Jeremiah born 1850 Looking forward to hearing from anyone who may be researching this family in Ireland Jeanette
