Bob, I have been trying to find my Irish ancestors. my gr grandfather's grave states that he was from County limerick. he emigrated to Australia in 1864 aboard the "Sandringham". His marriage certificate states that his parents were Patrick Neville and Bridget Sullivan. He could have had a brother Patrick who also seems to have settled in the same region as Thomas but I haven't as yet been able to confirm this. Despite some searching through the Limerick Genealogical Society I have not been able to trace his(Thomas') parents. The shipping record states that he was aged 24 from Robertstown.One theory is that he did not come from Robertstown originally but was working there when he emigrated. he married a Mary O'Shea from Limerick soon after arriving in Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: <bob.n@clear.net.nz> To: <NEVILLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 11:42 AM Subject: [NEVILLE-L] Re: NEVILLE FAMILY > > > Hi peggy > any one who comes from the croagh,rathkeale,askeaton areas > are inall probability part of the one extended family > so welcome to the international family of nevilles. > can't help with Lydia sorry. do you have anything on thomas > with parents or siblings. > i still have a lot of loose ends to tidy up. 1 is that my Patrick had an extra brother called thomas but have not been able to come up with any facts > the other is the Knock Patric Neville family from Foyes Isle in the late 1700s he had 4 sons & three daughters have only records on one son Patrick who came out to Australia > regards bob > > > > ==== NEVILLE Mailing List ==== > Have you tried the Rootsweb Surname Helper Search Engine? > http://cgi.rootsweb.com/surhelp/srchall.html > >
