Waterford / Re: John A Merrin born about 1837
« on: Thursday 26 January 17 08:16 GMT (UK)  »
Me again , I have , on reflection , two mentions of Patrick Larkin sponsoring Michael and Eliza. Michael died at 22yo , in Dubbo , as a mounted trooper. Witness at burial , John welfare , publican.... John also reported his death at "the land we live in " Fitzroy St Dubbo ... After a lot of looking , found pub of that name in Sofala Nsw , a fair way from Dubbo in those days.......but no record of a pub of that name in Dubbo , incidentally , courthouse and police station in Fitzroy st..
I am now finally retired , will try to make sense of a few things in the next few months , Michael is peripheral , but intriguing .let me know how you got on in Ireland , if you travelled there. Regards GregT.
