Hi There,
Patrick was also known by an alias of John Francis sometime later in Australia. If someone was able
to produce his parents names by way of Christening or details of where to obtain them for my research, I would be most
pleased. If Patrick was in a family group for Immigration this would also help me.

I assume Patrick or John Francis was Roman Catholic. Records for the parish of Kilcloon do not start until 1836 https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0945?locale=en so no baptismal record would be available for someone born around 1814.

Hi Eileen,
Is there any family immigration details for JFL? How old was he when he arrived in Australia? I ask this because there was some confusion as to a convict named Patrick Lawless who arrived in December 1831, had a tattoo with the initials of JL on his forearm then changed his name to John Francis Lawless and it is he who is buried at Bungendore NSW. I hope that I am not putting you to too much trouble.
