G'day,
My name is Mark McGrath and I'm finally getting around to researching my family tree again. Here's a quick run down of the furthest reaches of my tree that I have discovered so far:

CAFFERY Patrick: Born 1804 County Meath, Ireland. Transported to Australia in 1832 (for stealing a gun), married Anne GIBBNEY, Ireland 1832. Extensive information available on descendants.

VAUGHAN, Hugh Norton: Born 1880 Horsham, Victoria, Australia. Son of Frederick Vaughan & Lucy PEARCE. Married Lilly J GUEST 1905. Father of Dorothy Lillian VAUGHAN b. 1906 Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.
The Caffery branch has been well researched in Australia - a distant relative having published a book on the family tree outlining all of the descendants of Patrick Caffery.
I am most interested in the origins of Michael Patrick McGRATH, Henry J BEDDY and Henry TRIM.
If you think you have any relevant information on any of these people please drop me an email; I'm willing to share any information I have that may be of interest to you.
