Hi, Mary Jeanne O'Farrell here.
The "O" Farrells that left Ireland had dropped the "O" from their name in order to leave the country.
Yes, one of the Patrick O Farrell's was my relative and and his son was Dennis O Farrell who went to Court in the US and had our family name changed back to O'Farrell.
Our Patrick came to the US and part of the family ended up in Massachuettes and the rest in Indiana.
(Our Patrick was from Moy, Laracor, Meath, Ireland). None of our relatives travelled to Australia.
Good Luck with your Search.
