Looking for information on family of Michael O'Neill who came to Australia in 1863 .. Michael born Valentia Island about 1835 to parents John O'Neill & Julia ? either Brusby / Breswell /O'Connor .

found a Julia O'Neill of The Point , died 25th September 1871 & buried at Keelmore Cemetery Valentia.

Michael married in Queensland,Australia in 1863 to Mary Ann Kelly & they had about 12 children. My Gt Grandmother was one of the children.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The Valentia RC baptismal records start in March 1825  https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0682  Those records are included in the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie under the Church record TAB. I searched for your O'Neills and I only found one record that may be a good lead.The record was an 1830 baptismal record for an Alice Nail. Her father was John and the mother was Gobinet Brackly which is somewhat close to your Brusby. Gobnet is a variant of Abigail or Deborah. You should scan the register for other possible baptismal records. I did not see a marriage record on the site.

Let me know what questions you have.
