Clare / Re: McNamara - Co. Clare
« on: Sunday 01 July 12 04:25 BST (UK)  »
I am a direct descendant of John McNamara and Margaret Welsh who came out on the Bussorah Merchant leaving Plymouth 3rd February, 1850.
It has been some years since I have been working on my McNamara research. However, I have just been to their property London Bridge at Burra near Queanbeyan on a trip back from the snow and I wanted to include some of the family history info in my write up of our visit. I am descended from their son John McNamara who married Elizabeth Johnston, the niece of Alexander Johnston who built the railway from Goulburn to Queanbeyan (maybe as far as Cooma). They had eight daughters. and moved to Sydney.
I did most of my research before the Internet really took off and am revisiting it again now hoping to full in a few gaps. I have quite a lot of info so this is really just to get started.
Best wishes,
Rowena
