To The Quinns in Australia in particular. I know what you mean about not being able to get back any further. I have only been researching for six months but I have been talking to people who have been trying for years and not made any significant headway, I am hoping the internet will help me. Well you have to have some hope, Doncha. Regarding your Quinns in Galway. My great grandmother Maria Quinn was born in Queenstown, Cork circa 1862 and came to Manchester. England in the late 1870s, she was here in 1881 for the census. She joined her sister Sarah who had married John Kerr. Another sister Bridget joined them about the same time. Maria married my great grandfather William Flynn born circa 1866 in Galway, they married 1901, I`ve made a note, and I`ll keep a look out for yours if you watch for mine. Regards. George Carter.
