Hi,
I am looking for my ancestors Thomas Billanne whos parents were Jeremiah Billanne and Mary (Nee Quinless). Thomas was born around 1829 in Birr I think, but not sure
Thomas went to Australia in the 1840s but I cannot confirm if it was as a convict or on a passenger ship as I have heard two stories relating to this.
Can anyone help me in finding Thomas' birth certificate or any info on Jeremiah or Mary.
I believe they were Roman Catholic - the decendants in Australia were.
Thank you.
