I wonder if any one on the list could help me with details of my gg grandfather. Thomas ELLIOTT, orn about 1823 in Carrickmacross, Monaghan. Married Jane MARKEY at Castleblamey 1855. He apparently was a violinist, oral family history states that he once played for Queen Victoria. He migrated to Australia shortly after his marriage, he did not play violin professionally in Australia as far as I know. Is their any way of tracing musicians in Ireland at that time?? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Annette Beasley Melbourne, Australia
