Hi. Judith is correct. Her father and my father were first cousins, but my father as the eldest grandchild was close in age to his younger uncles. Thomas Dwyer was the youngest of the immigrant family and was born in Australia aboit 1842. Hr died in Mia Mia in 1916. The book "Mia Mia the Pace and its People" is a good source for some of the family history.

Hi. Thomas Dwyer who was born in Australia was my Father's grandfather. My grandmother Ellen was his eldest daughter. They lived with Thomas as Ellen was a widow with 6 children. My Father remembered his great grandmother and her dying at 101. My uncle owned the family farm until his death in 1970s. The farmhouse still stands.
