Hi Brenda,
Great to hear from you, yes I do live in Australia. My great-grandfather, John Sherlock, emigrated from Sligo via London in 1908 and arrived in Sydney, New South Wales. He married in 1913 and had seven children, three of whom are still alive including my grandfather.
I did know Thomas went to Canada and have details of his family but I'm delighted to make contact and would love to hear more from you about your branch. My great-grandfather's brother, George Sherlock, also left Sligo and emigrated to the USA in 1906. When he arrived at Ellis Island he indicated he was going to join his uncle Thomas Brett. In the end he settled in Wisconsin and had four children. I believe his son George Sherlock is still living in the house he was born in in Wisconsin and that there are other family members in the area, though I'm not in touch with any.
Peter.
