Hi Kate and List In my hunt for my Dermody family I have come across some interesting stuff on my Dwyer connection. I have found an article in Australia that gives an extract of one William Dwyer's memoirs. In it he states he was born c 1825 in Green St Kilkenny and his parents were Patrick Dwyer and Bridget Byrnes. He was sent to school at Chapel Lane Kilkenny that was run by his uncle. Stated also was that he married Anastasia Dermody (my GGGgrandmothers sister Maria) just before they set sail to Australia in 1856. He was a teacher at the Kilkenny National School around 1853-1855. My dilemma is that Kilkenny City had both streets mentioned and so did the townland of Callan just outside Kilkenny City. William also had brothers Timothy and Denis and a sister called Catherine who also came out to Australia with the help of William as well as his parents Patrick and Bridget, he only states that there were others left behind. Wondering if anyone has come across this family in their searches. Anastasia's parents were Kyrian Dermody and Mary Cody, Kyrian had died by the year 1863 and Mary had gone to the USA by that time as well, Maria is the only known sibling that we have but I am sure there must have been others as Mary would not have gone to the USA on her own. Hoping someone can help with this one. Rick
