Hi again Immy,

I checked the Tweed Heads Library catalogue and they haven't got Roisin listed, and the Gold Coast Library only has another of my books - The Manx Deemster - listed.

However, Logan City Library has a couple of copies of Roisin listed.

I heard that some Libraries will get books from other libraries for readers.  James Bennet and Peter Pal (QLD)
distribute the books to the various libraries. The ISBN is 978-1920764-88-3.

regards...Robert B

Hi again Immy,

On the front on my Roisin novel the man with the dark hat with his hand in his pocket is Owen Mitchell.

I haven't heard of Calcifer and the other details you provided are news to me, but I do remember the name Post Office Hotel.

Where are you located?  My novel has numerous photos within the book, including a broader picture of the hotel, and most of my books are available from Australian libraries.  Some years ago I donated a copy of Roisin to the Cloone Library.

Regards..Robert B

Hi Immy,

I can't recall the name Hugh McKiernan anyway in my records nor the name Federal Hotel in Herberton, Nth. Queensland, however, in those days of Tin Mining there were a number of Hotels in the town.
When I visited Herberton some years back I noticed that there was now a large hardware store where the hotel once stood.

I have included a photo of the Herberton Hotel with my Grandfather standing out front, I hope it helps.

Regards...Robert Bartlett

Hi again Tammy,

No, I haven't done anything with DNA, and besides I'm way down in Australia. However,
Kevin McConnell in Dublin is a little closer.

Regards...Robert

Hi Tammy Mitchell,

Yes I agree, some of the dates don't seem to gel, so I'm not sure.

As far as I know my Great grandparents Patrick Mitchell (Born 1827) married Bridget Mitchell (nee Gaffney) in 1856 at Cloone.
They had children Mary, Owen, Michael and Patrick, and I only know my Grandfather Owen was born in 1860 and died in Herberton (Qld-Aust) in 1922, and don't know the birth dates of the other children. However, I have old letters from the siblings & cousins from Cloone.

Also a Michael McCarrol from Dublin has recently made contact and we have discovered that his Grandfather was Michael Mitchell - Owen's brother.

Regards Robert
