Wow, tropicalj, all this info is overwhelming, and I will certainly follow it all up. Talk about some coincidences, my son lived in Thuringowa, and two of my grand-children were born there!. Spent lots of time at both libraries, with my 'librarian counterparts'. They lived by the River, went about 4 houses then into the Ross River Park!. Aitkenvale I think it was called, they also previously had lived at Hermit Park.
2nd coincidence is my mother-in-law came from the Hennessey's!, Ireland, Leinster. But beware, Hennessey can be spelt in 5 different ways!, even to Hanasheen, Hennecy, Hennecsy among others. It was phonetically spelt, gaelic speech before being anglicised.
Good hunting, and oodles of thanks.
