Garyquinn on 2013-04-18 19:23:25Hi,
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

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'
