Sorry Cloke - a bit of a late reply.
My Byrne ancestors arrived in SA on the Victoria Regia in 1855 - it was Margaret Byrne (nee Cummins) and her son Francis Byrne. The husband and two children (siblings of Francis) died prior to departure. The father's name was James and the two children were Mary and William. It appears that James was a Doctor in Thomastown - no proof just oral history - and that all three succumbed to disease.
Margaret, came by way of free passage - she took on her dead daughters name for free passage and both her and her son appear as single on the passenger lists. Margaret's age is wrong on the passenger list. She died in SA, never remarried, and was remembered fondly by her grandchildren (my grandfather and his siblings) as a very determined Irish lady. She owned her own land in Australia - and could read and write so too Francis.
We have found baptism records for the children and marriage record for Margaret and James but alas that appears as far as I can go backwards. We have too many possibles for James in terms of baptisms and as for Margaret - two exist but are from different Parishes quite some distance from Thomastown.
In SA Francis and Margaret were integral in the Catholic Church in Snowtown - they assisted in raising many funds for the building and funding of the Parish. Interestingly it was a privilege given to Franics to name the Church in honour of his contribution. He chose St Canice's, presumably many years later when researching the history, since they were from Kilkenny and probably worshipped in Kilkenny, ST Canices. Turns out that they were from Thomastown and St Canice's was the seat of the Diocese.
Anyway that is about it.
Would be great to discuss these findings with your friend.
Let me know.

I am also looking for Byrnes and Campions all born in Gargara, Kilkenny
Michael Campion 1836 and John Byrne 1836 both emigrated to New Zealand in about 1865, got land and farmed it. John then sent for his sisters Anne 1843 and Mary 1845. Michael Campion married Mary in 1871, Nelson, New Zealand. They had two sons, William James and Michael John. William is my grandfather.
I am having trouble finding parents for Michael Campion and John Byrne.
John also had a brother James who had two daughters. From what I can gather, the Byrne and Campion families had farms side by side in Gargara. I have persued Griffiths Valuation 1849-50 and found four or five families. Still unable to connect to right family. Can anyone help
Thanks

I do know that a cousin spent time in the goldfields in Ballarat area Patrick and Ann Byrne, before coming and settling in Takaka, New Zealand. Am unable to find out if there are any others that went with Michael Campion and John Byrne when they first left Ireland. Apparantly, if they worked their passage they were not recorded in the ships manifest?? Can't even find out when they left or arrived in NZ. Only that they got granted land, even fell short there as they did not register it. Most of my info has come from will, death cert. Marriage cert did not require parents name.

Hi Sue
I know this is quite a few years later but did you get very far with your research on Henry/Bridget? I'm also a descendant, via their daughter Margaret Windle.
Thanks
