I am looking for information on my great grandparents. Their names were John Hynes Day and Annie Day (nee Jeffcott). They lived in Kilcolman County Kerry and migrated to Australia in the 1800's. They are buried in Rookwood Cemetery, Sydney Australia.
Louise,
It would be helpful if you could include some dates, even if they are estimates, birth, marriage, death, and immigration. Children born when and where?
Regards- Mary
Louise,
On Irishgenealogy, I found two Anns, Church of Ireland
