Margaret, I intend to dig into recs for the SHANAHAN / NESTOR connection despite the fact that I'm relatively sure they are not my line (but you never know, and I hate to leave a stone unturned) so it would be helpful to know (whilst I am looking) if your NESTOR / WALSH family from Askeaton immigrated anywhere...OZ or US? There is some slight possibility of connections between the WALSH family and one branch of my SHANAHANs who immigrated to the NY / NJ metro area...so let me know WHERE your folks ended up and I'll take a 'look see'. Kathy Researching SHANAHAN and LUBY surnames Co Limerick, Co Cork & Co Tipperary ------- Original message from "Margaret Garthwaite" <megarthwaite@sky.com>: -------- Has anyone come across any other Nestors in Askeaton? My Nestors supposedly originate from Ennis, and the records are not on-line yet. However, the only one I have any concrete information on is Mary Ann, who was baptised in Askeaton on December 25th, her parents being John Nestor and Bridget Walsh I would so like to track this family a bit further back, but I despair sometimes. Mostly! ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 12:15 AM Subject: [IRL-LIMERICK] SHARE IFHC records SHANAHAN NESTOR KENNELLY O'GRADYSLATTERY MURPHY ENRIGHT SCANLAN HOUNIHAN RYAN

Kathy nice to have a new angle of attack for my stone wall! Thanks. Two of the family emigrated to Oz. I have a lot of info about them, but I've never managed to contact descendants. Catherine Mary NESTOR arrived in Sydney on Sept 6 1853, on the "Talavera" from Ennis, Co Clare. In 1860 she married John Malcolm FERGUSON in Goulborn, and died in 1918 in Ashfield. I have a partial address for her: King St, Ashfield. They had 13 children. Mary Ann NESTOR arrived in Sydney on April 30 1864, aged 15, on the "Queen of the East" from Ennis, Co Clare. In 1868 she married George Hillis (or Hiles) JUBB in Goulborn. Mary Ann died in Burwood in 1919 This is the one with the Askeaton baptism. In fact, it's only because I have the info from her death certificate that I know the parents of this family. Their brother Thomas was my great-grandfather. My real brick wall tho' is the two sisters who emigrated to the US and were never heard from again after the San Francisco earthquake. So my father said. But since I don't have names, ages, dates or any other info about them, the chances of ever finding them are pretty slim! Pity really, because my daughter has never forgiven me for not providing her with American relatives! ----- Original Message ----- From: <littlehouseantiques@att.net> To: <irl-limerick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] SHARE IFHC records SHANAHAN NESTOR KENNELLYO'GRADYSLATTERY MURPHY ENRIGHT SCANLAN HOUNIHAN RYAN > Margaret, I intend to dig into recs for the SHANAHAN / NESTOR connection > despite the fact that I'm relatively sure they are not my line (but you > never know, and I hate to leave a stone unturned) so it would be helpful > to know (whilst I am looking) if your NESTOR / WALSH family from Askeaton > immigrated anywhere...OZ or US?
