Thank you joe1933 for your most welcomed post. I have added your O'Brien information to my family tree which leads me to more questions such as what year  did James go to USA and the year he got married?
My great grandfather Charles as you may guess was also a butcher and died at the young age of 37  which was 2 years after his father Charles died.
I have a copy of GG grandfather Charles will. Charles did leave all he had to his second wife Catherine McLaughlin I had no idea there was a problem.
I have also been to the old O'Brien tombstone on the Roemill Road it was very hard to read the old stones. I was told  some old Brien's where buried in a vault but this is all probably legend.
Great to hear from you please keep in touch

Thank you Aghadowey that is good enough conformation to help me investagate more into the family. Would your marriage  information hold James or Margaret's father's names?

Thanks Aghadowey and Kingskerwell. The marriage date of 1883  gives me  a lot more to work on. I had no idea of my great grandmothers maiden name or hometown, so once again thank you.

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 -

2 Apr 1918

Australia Lookups completed / Re: Hugh O'NEILL Irish Convict in Botany Bay
« on: Sunday 27 September 09 09:47 BST (UK)  »
Thank you so much Sparrett and Siouxse for your most welcomed information.  I have no way of finding out Hugh's parents names unless his sentence was recorded in a Tryone newspaper at that time.
Sparrett from your information I may try Irish National Achieves in order to find out if they hold any information on the court case as it must have been something pretty awful he done to have gained a life sentence.
Thank you both again I am slowly getting there.

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.
