My father Ken Weir is the son of William Weir and Lily Emma Nixon Moffitt...whose father was John Joseph Weir and Eliza Walsh...whose father was William Weir.
William Weir was born 1835 (died 1916)in Fermanagh, Ireland and was the son of Robin and Anne Weir. They, William and Miss Mary Mundoon (born 1838 and died 1918)left Ireland in the latter part of 1856 and arrived in NSW in Jan 57. They settled in Kiama NSW Australia where he worked as a bootmaker.
Besides John Joseph Weir, he left behind sons, C.Weir-Foxground, D.E.Weir - Kiama,W.G.Weir - Richmond River, and R.H.Weir - Gerringong and daughters, R.E.Walker - Richmond River, J.A.Graham - Tenterfield, A.G.Pomeroy - Tooljooa.
Lily Emma Nixon Moffitt was the daufghter of William Moffit and Margaret Nixon.
The Moffitts actually originated from the County of TyroneIreland.
I am looking for the names of the parents of Eliza Walsh, and William Moffitt and Margaret Nixon...if anyone can help.
