Thanks for that Roger. Looking at John and Mary Mulcare's death certificates John died at age 63 in 1883 and seems to have been born in Glin before records. Mary died at age 59 in 1881 which also places her before Glin records. Their death certificates state that they were married in Glin when John was 30 years old and Mary 29 years old. So married about 1852.
John was 31 years in Australia in 1883. Mary was 29 years in Australia in 1881. Are you able to direct me to any shipping records of leaving in 1850s?
Mary's mother was Margaret Narmile and her father was Patrick Narmile. Is there any place I can begin to look for anything recorded about them - or John's father also named John Mulcare?
Kate (Catherine) Mulcare's death certificate states her father was John Mulcare - farmer and her mother was Mary Normoyle (whose mother was Culhane).Kate's certificate states she was born in Ireland and died in 1917 aged 66 but 64 years in Australia - which makes her about 2 when she left Glin in about 1850-2 baptism again before Glin records. Can you give me any hint as to where I might try my search? I will be in Ireland in April and hope to do some leg-work. Am I able to visit you for more discussions? Thanks - Therese Kearney
