I was interested in enfield's post as one of those boys came from Crusheen and our family may hail from there as our McNamara cousins called their farm Krusheen. 
So we have Bridget McNamara marrying Michael Arthur and all their children came to Australia (we think) and Bridget's brother Patrick's and his wife Bridget Hogan's children also and their sister Elizabeth who married Patrick Arthur sent at least 5 of their children to Australia. 
Most of them ended up around Marong (near Bendigo) and either married late or not at all.

I always think how sad those parents must have been to send their children off - some so young - and know they probably will never see them again.  Most of the Arthur/McNamara family came on the Grand Triannon in 1857 though some had arrived earlier.  Any connections?

Hi
I posted a message re Brohan. My great grandfather Thomas Brohan married a Catherine McNamara in 1853 and the witnesses at their wedding were Patrick McNamara and Denis McNamara. Bothe families came from Cloonusker a rural area near Ennis. A Mary McNamara was listed as god mother to their children. Hope this may be a relation

suggestion for you what about putting a notice in the letter's to editor for Scariff or Clare  papers. I did this once and it was a great find... to find family still living in area.
 The name Rodgers I believe may have descendant's still living ........my Moira Rodgers married a William Burke..........alsothe Moynoe  cemetery records are on line at the Clare Library to look at...... and that name is there.
