« on: Monday 26 October 09 22:29 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to go back further with the following Tracey family. I have found the civil marriage details of  Robert  but would dearly love to find out more about his father, James who is in the  1911 census  aged 57 and living with his wife Margaret and family in Ardkill, Ardmore.
The following is the Civil Marriage details of my grandfather Robert -

Australia Lookups completed / Hugh O'NEILL Irish Convict in Botany Bay
« on: Saturday 26 September 09 20:27 BST (UK)  »
Hugh O'Neill was born Dungiven Co. Londonderry N. Ireland 1803. In 1825 he was sentenced to life and was deported to Botany Bay January 1825 from Co Cork, ship Hooghly (1). In 1828 NSW census has a Hugh O'Neill working in a road gang  and in 1836 he was granted permission to marry Alice Kirby in June. I think he may have been pardoned between 1838- 1841.
 I have no idea where Hugh died or if he had a family with Alice Kirby. I would be very grateful for any information about Hugh and his family.

The record reads -

Does anyone have any ideas regarding this code?

Derry (Londonderry) / O' Brien Limavady *COMPLETED*
« on: Thursday 13 August 09 21:58 BST (UK)  »
My GG Grandfather Charles O'Brien born around 1834 was married twice, unfortunately nither of his marriage cert. records his fathers name. I am trying to go back another generation and  have got stuck. I know he died 1903 in Irish Green St. Limavady. He was a butcher, cattle dealer and was wondering if  there  would have been any type of farming records that would give possible clues if he took over renting land perhaps that his father had farmed?
I would be grateful to hear any other ideas  anyone has on how to get back another generation.
