The Cantwell Knights of Strongbow 1170
Parish Registry Lookup - Thomas CANTWELL b 1772 Clough
« on: Friday 24 March 06 06:20 UTC (UK) »
Looking for any information on my gggg grandparents, Thomas CANTWELL born abt 1772 Clough, County Kilkenny and Mary FARRELL born bef 1777 Ireland.  Parents' names unknown.  All our Cantwells were coal miners in Ireland.

They had two children that we know of: Michael b abt 1796 & James b 1797.  Michael Cantwell was married and had children but he came out alone to Australia on the 'Parmelia' C1829.  James Cantwell born Cloneen, 1797 died Aust 1857 my ggg grandfather - was 'transported' to Australia via the 'James Laing' in 1834 after being sentenced in Kilkenny 1833 for 'illegally swearing oaths'.

James' wife Mary Cantwell nee Brennan and their children, Patrick, Thomas, Bridget, Mary, and Michael; as well as her brother Michael Brennan and his wife Mary and their 9 children all followed to Australia after James Cantwell had been freed after doing his time.

Any help whatsoever would be gratefully appreciated as it seems that my Cantwell ancestors didn't want to be found.  Perhaps due to their association of 'white boys' ... they were also called "Red Cantwell's".

Thanking you, Allycat downunder in Oz.
