The Cantwell Knights of Strongbow 1170
|
Looking for any links with my ancestor, Thomas CANTWELL b 1772 Clough County Kilkenny Ireland. May have come from a large family. Parents names unknown. Married Mary FARRELL.
[N.B. All our Cantwells were Coal Miners in Ireland.]
Children: Michael and James.
Michael came to Australia on the 'Parmelia' C1839 and it is known that perhaps his wife and children did not follow.
It is known that my ancestor James Cantwell was a 'white boy' - he was tried for illegally swearing oaths and transported via ship 'James Laing' in 1834.
When he completed his time, his wife Mary Cantwell nee Brennan, their children Thomas, Patrick, Mary and Bridget came to Australia on the 'Garland' in 1851.
The other family members that also followed to Australia in 1862 aboard the 'Abyssinian'. This was her brother Michael Brennan and his wife Mary, and their 8 children: Mary, Patrick, Elizabeth, Catherine, Edward, Ellen, Margaret, Seamus and Martin Joseph, with Michael Brennan being born shortly after arrival in Australia.
Any connections please.
