Dear Carole, and LL

Thank you both so much.  This info. has been a great help. It has confirmed that Christopher is my 2 xGt. Grandmother's brother and family.

Christopher's sister Mary Ann (nee Achilles) McAuliffe and their mother Mary Ann (nee Fenner) Achilles came to Australia about 1864-66 but the shipping records have been lost in floods about 100 yrs ago.

Their father Augustine Achilles apparently died in 1864 in
Dublin, but so far we are unable to find out his origins.
Someone told me recently there is an Achille Island off the coast of Ireland, but it does seem to be an unusual "Irish" name.  Meanwhile the search goes on. Thanks once again. Cheers Dale.

Hi all - I have just found your posts.  My 3rd gr grandparents was Augustus Achilles and Maryann Fannin/Fenner. My line is through their daughter Mary Ann Achilles who married John McAuliffe. My research seems to say Augustus came from Germany and was in the military, prisoner of war, more military services - Canada, back to Ireland - two wives.  I am hoping to find evidence ofthe German side of this family.
