Seeking help with the origins and the family of my GGGrandmother, Catherine/Katherine? 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.
