Michael Devitt, born 1839 Co. Clare, Ire
Michael Devitt(my great-grandfather) and his siblings John and Mary emigrated from Co. Clare over a period of 13 years from 1854 to 1867 to Australia. They settled in The Oaks district in the state of New South Wales. The best information to date is that they came from the Roadford district in Co. Clare. Their parents were James Devitt and Alice Donohoe.It would be reasonable to expect that there wereother siblings, but these three were the only ones to emigrate to Australia. There is a belief that other siblings emigated to the U.S.A., but no details have yet been found.
