Hi Rosball...

I've found an S. Isaacs on the white pages in WA, which is the only one there and that could be Gerard's son - but I can't be sure without calling, and calling from Ireland isn't an option as too expensive, lol

The surnames, which I am interested in are; Maternal side: Ryan, Kevin, Grant, Grady, Gleeson, Walsh, Dwyer, Paternal side: O' Dwyer, Woodlock, Rochford & Britton - all in Tipperary; and Kelly and Hoynes in Laois.

Ryan, Campbell, Luttrell, Grant, Grahame, Bainbridge and Brown in Queensland, Australia

Tighe in Victoria, Australia.

Grant in Philadelphia, Sullivan and Penny in New York; and Britton in Connecticut

Well done Annie :)

I think a letter in contacting possible relatives is a gentler way to approach them.  It gives them a chance to absorb who/why you are contacting them.

cheers,

Yes it is fantastic isn't it macberry  :)

 I could ring them for you Annie but I'm a bit of a coward and it may sound like one of those scams  ;D.

  By the way the WA State Library have a research service where you can ask for info (free) and they reply by e-mail within 5 days.  So you could give them the death dates for Roy and Catherine and ask them to look up the death notices.  This may give more clues to Patricia.

adding : are you looking for Oz relatives macberry? We're a friendly lot and usually more accurate (when our laptops and grey cells are behaving).  Just start a new topic ...  :)

Thank you Rosball and Macberry - I'll have a go at contacting the library and see what they come up with

Hiya Fast...

Thanks for that but the immigration for them I am looking for is sometime after 1936 - 1954. But thank you

Hiya Cando....

I've actually gone and found that record all by myself lol - went through a few before I found it, but delighted. But thank you for looking up those details.
