My grand mother was Julia Cantillon. She was born in the townland of Cleandries, which is very near Causeway. Her brother was Patrick Cantillon and to my knowledge, she had no sister. She may be related to your grandmother. Julia Cantillon married James Bunyan, a native of Aghamore, Causeway after he returned home from Australia in 1910. He missed Shacleton's expedition to the South Pole from New Zealand. He witnessed the last public hanging of a woman in Dunedin. My son visited New Zealand in 2005 and he discovered that the woman's name was Minnie Deane. Sincerely, James J. Bunyan.

CANTILLON. Catherine CANTILLON was convicted as CANTULON at Kerry County in 1852 for larceny and transported for seven years as CANTILEN. She arrived on the third last convict boat to Tasmania, Australia, the "Midlothian", on 22 February, 1853. Convicted for stealing "clothes from Connor in Kerry", with a goose and some potatoes taken into consideration. On her convict record, her father was stated as PATRICK, with siblings PATRICK, JOHN, HONORA, BRIDGET, MARY ELLEN and MARGARET. Catherine was born circa 1833 and died in 1906. She had a relatively more comfortable life in Tasmania as the wife of a farmer, than she may have got if she stayed in Ireland. She had nine children and at least 18 grandchildren, with numerous living descendants. Some years ago, a cousin of mine had correspondence with a descendant of BRIDGET, who confirmed the surname was CANTILLON and that Catherine was born in CASTLESHANNON, CAUSEWAY. (I thought these were two distinct towns.) Some photos were kindly sent of the old home and a mausoleum, plus Bridget and another living CANTILLON descendant, but no other details of the family were given. Does anyone know of this family with more details on them? I would be extremely grateful for any information on them. Regards, Wynnette Ford Born in Tasmania, now residing in Queensland, Australia. ------------------------------ To contact the IRL-KERRY list administrator, send an email to IRL-KERRY-admin@rootsweb.com.

Dear James, Wonderful to find another person with the surname Cantillon in their family. Your Julia is too young to have been a sister of my Catherine and her brother Patrick. They were born around the 1830's and Catherine stated their names in 1853. I have heard that Patrick had a son Patrick, so perhaps she is a niece, or even one more generation further on.. Do you have any connection to anyone there you write too, or have extra knowledge of any of your Julia's extended. family? Regards, Wynnette. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James J.
