« on: Sunday 23 September 12 15:02 BST (UK)  »
Wondering if anyone has any information on families who lived in Rutherglen or Chiltern, Victoria around 1900 with surname BLANCH OR BLANCHE.  In particular John and his wife Margaret and also Peter Michael Blanch who was a baker there for some years.

Thank you

Ireland / ST. ANDREWS CATHOLIC CHURCH, in the diocese of Clonfert , Leitrim
« on: Monday 30 July 12 14:05 BST (UK)  »
I am interested in the history of the St. Andrew's Roman Catholic Church in the diocese of Clonfert , Leitrim.  I believe that Father Andrew Griffin was instrumental in raisin gthe funds to have the church built in mid 1800's.  He was buried there in 1884. 

This parish is known by several different names Leitrim and Kilmeen or Kilcooley and Leitrim or Leitrim and Ballyduggan. It is a rural parish of which the Leitrim half is in the diocese of Clonfert and the Ballyduggan half is in the diocese of Tuam.  As I l ive in Australia I am not familiar with these locations.

Can anyone help?

Parents were: Peter Blanc and Marion Sandison.  Most of their children remained in Gluss, North Mavine, Shetland Isles.  At least two sons migrated to Australia circa 1850 never to return to Shetland. Interested in any information on Gluss and the family.
