Hello! Honorah is my 5th great grandmother! I have just joined up because of this. I am up to my eyesballs in research. Addicted.
Hi,
I am a descendent of thomas Francis and honora Francis
Has anybody got any more information on them?
I'm curious as to the source document of honoras parents names as well
Regards gary
Indeed Gary, I'd like to see the proof of Honora's parents. When I found the marriage certificate, as I'm not related, I contacted several family members and sent copies, all were offering Michael Collins and Anne Ryan as parents. The only genuine data I have ever found has been from NSW sources, generated from the day she boarded the 'Marquis Cornwallis'
