Family folklaw has it that friends & cousins from the same parish were put up as boarders untill they could arrange something more permanent by Martin & his wife Martha Jane . We think we have traced 2 possible more emigres 1st :- Whilst @ Whitchurch in Shropshire (1881) one Richard Emett aged 30 . Then 2nd :- Whilst @ Bradford in West Yorkshire (1911) one Charley Mcweeny aged 21 . If any one has ideas they would be gratefully received .

Hi sir i have made a list of sites that you can have a look on. Good luck with your seach.
Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at ). www.failteromhat.com British parliamentary papers on Ireland can be found at: http://eppi.dippam.ac.uk/documents/9824/eppi_pages/215093 The National Archives of Irelandhttp://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/ The National Library of Irelandhttp://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx The National Archives UK ? genealogy search:http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/ The Public Records Office of Northern Irelandhttp://www.proni.gov.uk/index/family_history.htm The US National Archives:http://www.archives.gov/ The National Archives Scotland- family history:http://www.nas.gov.uk/familyHistory/ The Library & Archives of Canada-http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html Irish Newspaper Archives:http://www.irishnewsarchive.com/ The next thing you could do is find the counties and places in Ireland your family names are mostprevalent. Look at the website http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/ and perhapssomething will match some other clue you may have found elsewhere? If nothing turnsup ? it is advisable to try different variations of the spellings of the names. If you have a possiblefirst name you could try the Irish Census 1901, 1911 at www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ or the landvaluation record called Griffiths Valuationhttp://askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml
