Hi dalek39,
Your thread has not been closed. (Although it probably is time to complete it and move on) I am unsure just what it is you now require help with and am sure the other Australian researchers feel the same way.
Perhaps you should post a simple request to the appropriate board stating clearly what it is you require help with. We do find it so much easier when the request is for a specific piece of information. You need to put the jigsaw together one piece at a time. There is no limit to the number of requests you can make on RootsChat.
You seem to now be hunting for James origin which is not in Australia. I feel the help you require is outside our scope of expertise - without specific requests for specific information you require from Australia there is really not much more we in Australia can do to help.
There is really no point asking for help with Irish records on the Australian Board. Most of us have no experience in Irish Records. aghadowey has kindly popped down here and tried to point you in the right direction.
If you require any further help with Australian Records we will of course do our best to help.
All the best in your hunt.
Cheers Kris
