Thank you Shane. I am not an easily frustrated person but am getting there.
Will plod along though. someone in the Cummins family may recognise the name Shelly and Cummins together in their tree.
Thank you once again. Marli

Hello from Marli.
Thank you for your kind reply and information.
I did not know how hard this would be given that I had his birth date and fathers and mothers name and where he lived.(or purported to live).
I have come across one William Cummins at Shankill and an Eliza at Tiscoffin but only on the 1901 census which of course may be decendants of William but I have no link. There seems to be in Boris 'Shellys and Cummins' so will go town by town in Kilkenny till I recognise something closer knit.
Thank you once again.

Thank you Shane.I have no other advice on Counties only the one's listed as told by my Gg/father in correspondance.
I wll start with the counties around the area as I have downloaded a map from Rootsweb.
Your help was really appreciated.
I may have to end up coming over to search each graveyard.(Now that would be a lot of fun)  Regards Marli

He was catholic.He was dragged from his native home by the existingpolicy of British Govt and convicted under the insurrection act for being out of his fathers house after curfew at 8pm night. He was 17 years old. He is quoted as saying 'I defy any body to say a word derogatory about my parents, who though not wealthy were respectable industrious persons. If the tombs in the old church yards of the locality where he was born ,were examined,it would be found that the name he bore was an honorable one. Some members of his family had been honored at their deaths by  costly and and substantial monuments and that they owned the soil which his parents had to pay rent for.' This was in 1829.
Trade = shepherd.Native place Queens County. Tried Maryborough (Port Laoise) 1823. Born in Kilkenny county 1804. I have a couple of conflicting items as in Kilkenny and ueens but as I do not know the area I am lost. Thank you for taking time to answer my inquiry.

William Cummins my g/g/father was born in Queens Co. 1804
Tried as an Irish Rebel in Port Laooise 1823
Arrived Australia 1824 on the convict ship Prince Regent.
Parents were Kenan Cummins and Elizabeth (nee Shelly)
I need to access information on the family unit. Also He has stated that there were 300 year old tombs of his family in the district. (this was in 1830) I would like to have some idea if the graves are still viable to visit and some history of family. I would be most grateful for any help. Marli ;) ???
