Hi Anne, I think I might be able to help you. I'm currently researching who I think are the same family.
I'm doing a course in genealogy in the university here in Galway and as part of it, we must research the family tree in detail.
I have it started but expect to have much more detail in the coming weeks. We get access to records here like microfilm that are not available online. I'll also be making a trip up to Dublin to the National Archives which I expect will provide much information. If you wish to send me your contact details I can let you know if I discover that we are talking about the same family and if so, perhaps you could provide me with info on the Australian side and I could provide you with info on the members who stayed on in Newport and Birdhill. I am looking to do a detailed history of the family with any stories/anecdotes/info of hisorical interest. Thanks
