Hello again Irene, The Henry (no mac) Family are pioneers of a place called Murrigal or Murray Upper near Tully in North Queensland. There is a family grave at Euramo, nearby, on the main Northern highway closeby to their large cattle properties. I do not know if any family members still own the farm Will check with my brother tonight. This was many years ago and they often talked of the wonderful old lady Henry in her eighties still rounding up cattle and working with her family on their property. She was in her 90's when she died. Will also check this out for you Kind regards, Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irene R" <ivrbjr@bigpond.net.au> To: "IRL-DUBLIN" <IRL-DUBLIN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 10:03 AM Subject: [IRL-DUBLIN] Mc HENRY, Thomas > Hi Listers > > I wonder if anyone can help me.

Hi Mary Thank you so much for your offer of help. I have been trying to find this family for about 8 yrs, so hope that there is a connection. Thomas spent his first 7 yrs in NSW, then went to Vic but goodness knows what children he might have had before he did that. Again, many thanks and I will await your reply eagerly.
