QUIRK Family
« on: Friday 23 June 06 10:58 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone,
I know my posting is a long shot, but I haven't anything to lose.After 10 years I am Still looking for information on my Great Great Grandfather John QUIRK.

What information I have is:
From John's Marriage Certificate, John states he was Born in Dublin, Ireland, c.1835 ??. John States his Parents were:
John QUIRK & Mary LOUGHLIN.

John also states that his father John QUIRK Snr was a Soldier.

To this day I have never been able to find these so called parents or siblings.

John Migrated out to Australia ???. He Married a fello Irish girl Eliza (Elizabeth CORCORAN) From Tipperary,Ireland in 1865,Kyneton,Victoria,Australia.
Eliza's parents were Elizabeth SPILLAINE & John CORCORAN.

I once tried to find a Shipping Record for John and came up with about 50 John QUIRK'S.

If you think you see a connection would love to hear from you. If you can maybe help with other avenues, this to would be much appreciated.
Leanne
