Dear Cinders,
Thank-you very much for your interest in my search and your prompt response.
All I have, to date, is the following about my G/GG-GrandparentS.
Richard Henry EDMONDS [birth date unknown; possibly a Protestant]
married in Wexford??
Catherine FURLONG [born 5 April 1893 in Wexford Town R/C],
daughter of James FURLONG and Margaret SCALLAN.
[James and Margaret may have been married in Wexford in 1790.]
Children of Richard Henry EDMONDS and Catherine FURLONG possibly included -
William [H] EDMONDS b 9 August 1829, Wexford. He went to USA in the early 1850s. I have made contact with his descendants but cannot get his Birth Certificate. He may have been a cousin!
George Gilbert EDMONDS, my Great Grandfather, born between 1825 and 1833. He came to Australia [in the mid 1850s].
George Gilbert EDMONDS married in Sydney Australia in May 1857. He died in Brisbane in 1906 and is buried close to my residence, in South Brisbane Cemetery. Neither, his Marriage nor his Death Certificate are helpful.
The other siblings may also have gone to USA.
Any assistance you can provide will be extremely appreciated.
Sincerely
Bruce EDMONDS
