    3. Hi Cara, Here 'tis. I am researching the family history of 3 brothers from Wicklow; I would be forever grateful to receive any information on parents or siblings in Ireland and if any of them also migrated (perhaps to the US or elsewhere). 1. In Ireland, Abt 1800 - 1860. 2. a. Luke TRAINOR - Born abt 1821, Wicklow (?), Ireland. Died 6 July 1887, Kadina, South Australia. Married Esther KIRWAN (?) , Born abt 1820, Wicklow (?) Ireland, died 30 January 1898, Kadina, South Australia. (presumably) free immigrants with children Ann, Jane and Mary. Child John born after arrival in SA. b. Patrick TRAINOR - Born abt 1825, Wicklow (?), Ireland. Died 13 December 1903, Wallaroo Mines, South Australia. Married Esther NOLAN, Born abt 1929, Wicklow(?), Ireland. Died 7 May 1911, Wallaroo Mines, South Australia. Government immigrants with children Anne and Margaret. 6 more children after arrival in SA. c. Thomas TRAINOR - Born abt 1836, Wicklow (?), Ireland. Died 2 October 1907, Kadina, South Australia. Immigrated as a single man in the company of brother Patrick and his family. Married Ellen Catherine Cullen in SA and had 10 chn. 3. All three brothers and their families were devout Roman Catholic. 5. Their occupations were given on their ship's passenger list as follow; Luke - Miner, Patrick - Labourer, Thomas - Woodcarter. 6. Ship they left Ireland on - not known. However Luke arrived in Port Adelaide with his family aboard the JOHN BUNYAN on 23 May 1854 from Plymouth. Patrick (with family) and Thomas arrived Port Adelaide aboard the NAVARINO on the 17th July 1857 from Plymouth. Patrick and Thomas were listed in the ship's passenger list as "Government Immigrants". All three brothers were shown on the passenger lists as being from Wicklow, Ireland. 7. They were not convicts. In contrast to most other settlements in Australia, South Australia did not receive any convicts and was founded as a free settlement. 8. When they left Ireland, Luke (in 1854) would have been abt 33 yrs old, Patrick and Thomas (in 1857) would have been about 32 yrs and 21 yrs, respectively. Regards, Terry Trainor.
