Thanks very much Marie, I really appreciate your help and the information you have given me, he did not have any family so I am not sure of his circumstances. I will contact the cemetery.

Best Regards
Mike

From what I can gather he left Ireland in 1927 and travelled first to the US with two brothers. He then travelled onto Australia, I am not sure when he arrived in Australia. From his letters to my dad, he worked in sheep stations and on tennis courts in Toowoomba, are you aware if they are any records from sheep stations in the area that I could look up online, maybe this is a long shot !!. He wrote several letters to my dad and spoke about the lack of water (which is not a problem in Ireland as you can see!!) in the Toowoomba area. He also spoke about coming home etc each year but never made it.

Regards
Mike

Hi Marie

I am in Ireland, county cork. I found some old telegraphs in the attic at home and I found that my gran-uncle lived in Toowoomba....trying to get as much information about what he did etc. Actually he worked on sheep stations and also as a gardener I believe at either St Saviours or the Sisters of Mercy around the 1950s....he also lived to be quiet old at 91 yrs. Thanks for the help....very much apppreciated.....

Toowoomba burials are listed online at:

http://www.toowoomba.qld.gov.au/index.php?option=com_gravefinder&Itemid=46

If anyone finds an ancestor there and lets me know, I will go with my digital camera and take a photo of the headstone (if it exists and is legible!) and email it to you.
