Josiah Michael O'Riordan, Ireland > South africa +/-1880
I am trying to research my husband, Patrick O'Riordan's family. His grandfather (Josiah Michael O'Riordan) came to South Africa sometime around 1880 and was a baker by trade. I am not sure whether he was already married when he came to this country but his wife was Wilhelmina Otto from Germany. Their first child Jeremiah William O'Riordan was born in Cape Town on 12 Mar 1891. From the stories I have heard over the years I think he came from Cork and had a brother that immigrated to the West Indies round about the same time that he came to South Africa. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
