The surname of FURLONG rang a few bells with me, so I have dug it out! About 1987, I corresponded with a gentleman who was researching his JOYCE family. There were several mentions of POWER & ROSSITER which were possibly of interest to me but I was unable to find a connection. The JOYCE family were of Ballask, Kilmore, Co. Wexford. Tom Joyce m. Kate Power; John Joyce m. Ellen Power. (2 bros married sisters). Other surnames mentioned are FURLONG, MURPHY, STYNES, FORTUNE, BARRY, WHITE. There are just 2 sheets, roughly typed & a bit hard to follow. I don't have time to type it out, but if anyone wants more info or a scanned copy, please contact me. I can also check the AVRIs for WA, NSW, Tas & VIC BDMs, up to 1888+ depending on state, for any who strayed to OZ. Andrea Balcombe. RMB 1290 Cobden. 3266. Victoria.
