Hi all.

I don't know much about immigration/emigration searches, especially to Australia in the 1920s/1930s. He didn't have much or no immigration papers at that time which makes it harder to trace but somehow enlisted for WWII. His service records confirms that he was 99 yo at the time of his death in 2002 in Australia though his military records indicate that he was born in 1911 in Tralle. Where do I even start.

Thanks all

Hi all you good people.

Thank you for your help.

I'm beginning to wonder about this whole situation. After all,  this is information I gathered from my grandfather's files we have kept for over 30 years. I may redirect my searching. It's good to know from your findings which tells me that I should look at other history searches.

Thank you all

Hi all,

Thank you very much for your replies.

I don't have any info on George McCarthy (Great grandfather) except that from family collection,  he died in an accident before his son John Desmond McCarthy (my grandfather) was born in 1903 in Cahircbeen, County Kerry, his mother Mary McGuire (great grandmother) went off to Dublin sometime later. I don't have much info regarding residence at that time and ages of great grandparents. I am only  going by the family collection information I have but anything on my grandfather would be of great help. He died in 2002 in Australia and I have his Death Cert, would very much like to trace his Birth Cert but it looks like i hit a brickwall. Thank you all.

Hi everyone.

I am tracing my Irish roots.  My grandfather, John Desmond McCarthy was born in Cahircceen in 1903. His father George McCarthy died  in an accident before my grandfather was born. After his birth and sometime later his mother, Mary McGuire went off to Dublin to find work. My grandfather was sent to London to an uncle for school. From what I know my grandfather travelled the world and eventually reached Australia in an English vessel in 1935 and enlisted in NSW, Australia for World War 11 , posted to New Guinea, Papua New Guinea in 1942 or thereabouts. He died in Australia in 2002.  I have looked up several genealogy websites including Irish but have not established anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Jane McCarthy
