Hi ! Thanks for your prompt reply. It was not till after I posted my message yesterday that I realised I had given the wrong christian name ,it was Alice who married Thomas Fanning not Mary. When they came to Aust they gave Kilmacow as their place of residence but I guess that does not mean at one time they resided else where.Did you have a Thomas in your family? Also do you know where Kilmacow is ? Thank you for your email.
