Hi there,

Just a few q's to help with a search..............

How sure are you that Kevin was born in Dublin ?

Sometimes people emmigrated from Dublin and then it can be presumed that they were also from there too !

Do you have his ship records ?

Are you aware of Kevin having any siblings ?

Did his parents go to Australia too or just Kevin ?

What documentation did you get his parents names from ?

Do you know when he went to Australia ?

Was he in the Military?

I have the marriage certificate for Kevin and my nanna. It lists his birthplace as dublin, Ireland and that Patrick Michael O'Dwyer and Marie Bourke were his parents but were deceased when he married. My nanna thinks Kevin had a brother but she cant be sure
ENGLAND: Fisher, Redhead, Banks, Offord
AUSTRALIA: Gaffey, Crane, Geale, Thompson
IRELAND: O'Dwyer

There was a Nicolas Kevin Dwyer born Oct-Dec 1927 in Dublin South ...................be wary of dates as they do vary in terms of actual birth date and registration etc.

Also a Kevin A O'Dwyer born in Jan-Mar 1927

On Familysearch there is a Maria Dwyer coming up in the Prisons register................


Have struggled to find anybody going to Australia of that name at that time.
