Dear List Just posting my CONALLIN surname again in the hope of getting some idea of where he came from. Malachi and Sarah (Ward) CONALLIN came to Australia between 1841 and 1845 probably via Liverpool. Malachi's death certificate indicated that he came from County Galway and would have been born about 1809. Malachi and Sarah's children were Honora (born 1841 in Liverpool, England) Michael (born August 1845 in Australia) and Sarah (died young). I have only come across this name via a contact in the USA and it's spelt CONNALLIN there. Does anyone have any idea on the origin or derivation of this name? Many thanks for any assistance.
