Tyrone / McCristal family
« on: Tuesday 11 August 09 02:13 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am trying to track down McCristal ancestors. I have John McCristal and his wife Mary (nee Hamilton) coming to Australia in 1841. John was born c1820 in Tyrone, his father was Thomas and his mother was Margaret McKeon - don't know their dates of birth, or if they stayed in Ireland.
That's where I lose the trail. I did find a Thomas McCristal in a 'Tithe Allotment' but don't know what that means.
Can anybody please assist?
