ps.  One of George and Margaret Allardyce (nee Mitchell)'s children was named John Mitchell (b 1829) and one of his baptismal witnesses had the same name.  Paddy

I am wondering if your Mitchells are related to mine: James Mitchell, farmer from Rathen, who married a Margaret Allardyce.  Parents identified in the death details of their daughter, Margaret, born in 1794 in Rathen, who married a sailor, George Allardyce, probably from Banff. They lived in Peterhead. I have the John who married Mary Lawrence as his brother but I don't recollect where that came from.

Tipperary / Re: Richard Quinn (b: 1795?) & Mary O'Donell (b: 1795?)

Following the Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario connection ... Richard Quinn died there in 1914 aged 65 yrs - a boiler manufacturer.  His parents were given as Michael Quinn and Alice Cummeford.  Richard Quinn was baptised May 11 1849 in Ballyneale, Carrick-on-Suir to Michael Quinn and Alice Comerford.  Sponsors were John Comerford and Mary Quinn.  Alice Comerford was a sponsor in the baptism of Terence Quinn in Ballyneale, Jan 14 1850.  This Terence was the son of Richard Quinn and Mary Murphy (whom I think was 'our' Richard's second wife) and was living ( along with his wife Johanna nee White) with Richard and Mary in Ballyneale at their respective deaths.  There was another Richard Quinn in Hamilton who was born c. 1845 to an Edmund Quinn and a Mary Quinn.  There was a Richard Quinn born in Ballyneale to Edmund Quinn and Mary Nugent in 1842 which could be him.  What I am missing so far is a Richard Quinn born to Richard and Mary O'Donnell ...

Hi Bob, do you have the sister, Margaret, who married a Denis McCarthy in Canada?  I have a lot on the family in New Zealand but I'm not sure how much you want to know.  Are you on ancestry.com?  I do have a private family tree which I gather I can allow access for specific people - I could try that if you want.  Paddy

The great Irish diaspora! I have been searching for the family of my husband's great grandfather, Thomas Quinn.  I can't access his death info as he died in a sandstorm in Wilcannia, NSW, Australia, having left his wife and daughter in New Zealand.  However there were two other Quinn men who lived nearby on the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand - attracted by the Gold Rush, no doubt - John and Patrick Quinn.  I have accessed their Death Certificates and their parents are Richard Quinn and Mary O'Donnell.  They came to New Zealand via Australia (Victoria).  Patrick was born c. 1834 Co Tipperary and died in 1891.  He was a hotelkeeper in Arahura.  He married Annie Houlahan ? in Australia, they had 6 sons and 3 daughters - the oldest, Richard (1869-1918), was also a hotelkeeper. Patrick's brother John (c. 1834 - 1877) was a goldminer.  He married Margaret Nelson in 1859 in Victoria and came to NZ in about 1869/1870.  They had 3 sons and 4 daughters. Thomas (c. 1840-1882) was a draper in Kumara and also a miner.  He married Mary Foley (from Ballina, Tipperary and who's family also went to Victoria, Aus) and they only had one daughter. There is probably more to discover so I'll keep digging!
