Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Geoff....Looking again at the NSW list...the names listed are not ones I would associate with RC Burns or Fitzgerald..are you sure they both were RC. Did they sail from Devon to NSW...?

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 24 Send Message	james ernest (byrnes) according to his marriage certificate and i assume "T" for thomas [married Una May Jefferay, 11th april 1908] (strange thing on the marriage certificate was father listed as Thomas Byrnes - not Burns) (there was a couple of insolvency notices in the papers about that era for a Thomas Burns though - perhaps the reason for the name change or just whoever was doing the registration got the spelling wrong - there was a prominent family of Byrnes's in the area apparently not related to us) geoff and yes, all those births in nsw

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Geoff...I assume all the above details are Aus.? I will try to see if i can find anything for Kilcalf West....only a few (5) dwellings listed 1901 census so imagine it wasn't a great deal different back ways in the earlier part of the 1800's. Do you know what the James ...E.T...stood for (1883) ?

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Geoff...This may be a possibility.... Have found a James "Burns" on Griffiths Valuation 1848-1851 who is listed as leasing land from Richd.Gumbledon Esq. in the Townland of Kilcalf West. Civil Parish of Tallow. There are 3 other Jas.Burns but they are not for the Tallow CP.

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Geoff..The problem you have is not uncommon due to the actual demographics involved also the surname..You are "Burns" but was that the original or the anglised version of the name..(as transcribed)...? Try widening your search to include "Byrnes". When it states Tallow... does that mean the within Civil Parish of Tallow or Tallow "Townland" ? Tallow Civil Parish consists of 28 "Townlands " including Tallow itself....so you need to be finding out exactly which townland your "Burns" were living... It also didn't follow that the "Ecclesiastical Parishes" (for Church Records) were the same as the Civil Parishes....!!! Burns are relatively easy compared to O'Brien...!!! How do you know Thomas' mother was still alive 1857...what was her Christian name...?
