My widowed g g grandmother Mary O'Brien (nee Merrick )and her 8 children left the Cullen/Lattin parish in 1849/50 and went to Australia. Her father was Richard Merrick and her mother was Catherine Cahill and they were still alive when she left. Her husband Lawrence O'Brien's death date is unknown. Mary lived  in the Townland of Ballynulty.

Any information about these two families would be most welcome.

  • Hello P J .

    It's great to hear from you.

    I would love to swap information with you.

    All my ancestors from both sides are  from Ireland, so I have a lot of work to do!

    Fortuately for me my g.grandfather Timothy left information about Cullen/Lattin,

    so this is where I am starting.

    So how do we actually do the swap?

  • Hello PJ.

    I sent you an email in October to the address you gave me. I don't know what happened. It didn't bounce back  to me.

    My email address is pgysbert@gmail.com

    By the way I found a newspaper article from "United Ireland" reprinted in an Australian paper dated 31 May 1884

    It is about Richard Merrick, his wife and 9 children being evicted from his  tenancy in Ballynulty. This has to be one of our Merricks surely.

    Cheers

    Tricia
