Devine Family
« on: Tuesday 16 November 04 00:48 GMT (UK) »
I keep coming back to my Thomas Devine and without much luck....
Do hope SKS can assist.

I am a descendant of Thomas Devine: He was training as priest before he
started challenging the landlady about rents.  His punishment was 7years
to Tasmania in 1845.

born in Cavan  1821 (town not listed although is it Templeport? seems likely)
sisters were Catherine b 1823 and Anna b 1825
Parents were Peter Devine and Mary Unknown m1820?

I realise that records are quite sketchy but any snippets will be much appreciated.

Hello Rosalie,

Here is some info on Templeport:

Why does it seem likely that your DEVINE were from Templeport? Try entering DEVINE CAVAN into the search engine here and you will find 8 hits:
