Hi Lorraine in the Magnificent Whitsundays. I - or more precisely my wife - have connections with Hennessy and Heffernan of Cowra and Young. Don't know about any family connections were Quinn and/or Comerford although both names are well known to us. My wife's great uncle John Joseph Grant (from Cowra) married Johanna Breen whose mother was Catherine Hennessy (from Young I believe). Her great aunt Mary Grant (of Cowra) married Sidney Heffernan (of Young). They divorced and Sid later married Eileen Johnson of Bathurst. His parents (I think) were Patrick and Ada Heffernan. Any help?
