Hi Garry Do you know if your grandfather had any other brothers? I am curious as this is the first O'Neill from Tipperary I have come across. My grandfather was Robert Joseph O'Neill who was born approx 1866 in Tipperary. He came to Australia but the first record I can find of him is his marriage to my grandmother in 1890. He died in 1900 and on his death certificate it states that he was 14 years )or 11 - it is hard to read) in the colony. I live in Queensland but have checked as much as I can and this far have not found him on any shipping records. He apparently came here with his parents Robert and Mary Ann (Noble). Family hearsay has it that other members of the family went to America but this would have been fairly common for the time I think. O'Neill was not a common name in Tipperary so you never know!

Parents were Robert O'Neil and Catherine (?). Family lore has some connection with an Irish Earl. Edward was married in Boston in 1892. Bruce
