I drove for 3 hrs to get to Morpeth in the Hunter Valley (not far from newcastle if you look at a NSW map). I found a lot of my Mullins family and a James Godfrey that dosn t seem to fit with my lot as yet. I have done little work on this line....concentrating on the paternal lines first. All that I really have is that Michael Godfrey and Mary Shanane (Mumnane, Inannae) whatever whichever had 3 daughters at least Catherine, Julia, and Bridget who it seems had been married to an English previously. So I don t know who this is as yet: James Godfrey of County Limerick died 18 11 1888 aged 68 this is the death online 11192/1888 GODFREY JAMES MICHAEL DIED MORPETH MORPETH a marriage 1543/1856 GODFREY JAMES LOWRY CATHERINE MAITLAND a death for Mary 4568/1860 GODFREY MARY E JOHN MARIA WEST MAITLAND so the age is right and place is right fathers name is right so maybe i have a son for Michael and Mary of Limerick Christene >In a message dated 3/7/2008 12:07:43 A.M.
