ROLL CALL SUGGESTIONS 1- SURNAME:- Smythe and Keane 2-CHRISTIAN NAME - Philip and Mary and their daughter Annie Helena 3- RELIGION- I think COI but their daughter Annie Helena's children went to a Catholic boarding school in Australia because the family lived 600 or so Kms north of Cooktown with no schools locally. her husband, James Whiteford was Presbyterian. 4- DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY MARRIED- No 5- AGE WHEN MARRIED - Not known 6- GROOM WAS BORN WHERE:- Not known 7-LIVED AFTER MARRIAGE- Dublin city or county as their daughter Annie Helena was born in Dublin c 1858/59 8- NAME THE CHILDREN BORN TO THE MARRIED COUPLE IN IRELAND - Annie Helena Smythe (only child known) 9- IF THEY LEFT IRELAND WHEN WHAT YEAR:- Philip and Mary remained in Ireland. Annie Helena emigrated to Cooktown, North Qld in the early 1880s marrying there in 1883 10- DID THEY DIE IN IRELAND:-I assume so 11- WHAT DID THE PERSON YOU ARE LOOKING FOR DO - Unknown I have Philip and Mary's names on the death certificate of their daughter Annie Helena Smythe following her death in 1939 as a 79 year old. Annie Helena emigrated to Australia (Cooktown, North Qld) in the 1880s. I am told she came out as a governess. I'd love to find out more about the family in Ireland. Sites to research - I've used most of the recommendations so far. If anybody has family who emigrated to Australia or you would like to see how Ireland was reported in the colonies newspapers, you might like to use the following site: http://trove.nla.gov.au/result?q=dublin+ireland&l-availability=y This is the TROVE site which is the National Library of Australia site which has digitised a number of Australian newspapers. The link I attached was a search for Dublin Ireland digitised information available on line. You need to scroll down the page and see the section "Digitised newspapers and More" on the right hand side of the web page. If you want to go directly tot he TROVE site and search the newspapers use the following: http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper?q= You can search by location, date, decade etc. It is a most valuable resource and I cannot praise it highly enough. It never ceases to amaze me how much overseas information was contained in early newspapers in the colonies. They reported an amazing amount of information on issues of the day e.g. a search for famine Ireland Dublin brings up over 2000 articles. A search for famine Ireland brings up over 9000 articles. I'd love to hear back from anyubody with an interest in or knowledge of the Smythe/Keane family. Cheers all Anne
