Hello Cynthia, I don't actually know how your message reached me. I'm on a lot of lists. My John McCauley (spelling seems to vary) came to Australia from Ballinalack, County Westmeath in time to marry in 1857. I understand that his brother went to USA. I don't know much else yet. Good luck with your research. Best wishes, Ron Jones, Melbourne, Australia. -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia Freed-Morgan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, 14 May 1999 21:04 Subject: MacAulay, Shillady, Priestley, Linton >Good Morning!
