Australia / Re: MAYES family
« on: Wednesday 28 November 12 22:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hello again, I have in front of me a book of poems and letters by William Mayes - the one who died in 1942 (brother of Robert Mayes who was on the Balranald).  The book was published privately in 2008 by the Martin family who refer to William as Uncle William, as did my branch of the Mayes family.  I know that part of the Martin family are directly related to your Alex Martin through Samuel and Emily Martin.  I think your Alex was Sam's uncle.

I can email one of my Irish cousins and see what I can dig out.  They all still know each other.  Would that help?

Hello Maghergall, I have lots of information about the Mayes family, less about the Martin family in Australia.  I am related to both the Mayes and Martin families and have current contact with the Mayes and Martin families in Northern Ireland (incl clergy).  Specifically I am related to the Mayes connection which departed for Australia on the Balranald on 11 March 1924.  If you are interested, let me know.
