Hi
I am looking for all details of a Felix O'Connell and his wife Mary O'Connell. I do not have any more details on them except for a son William O'Connell born 1834 in Michelstown, County Cork. Died in Auckland NZ in 1903.
William's son and grandson were born in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.
I am interested in finding if Felix, who would be my 4 x great grandfather, did he came from Michelstown, County Cork?
I was born on St Patricks day in 1947, and have decided to celebrate my 70th birthday in the home of my Irish ancestors and therefore interested if there is any more than William from Michelstown.
Hope you can help
Many thanks
