Hello everyone ,
Just searching as we all are my G>G>Grandfather was James Anthony Tohill born 1834/5 in Co Antrim N Ireland immigrated to Aust 1858 (with ? a Brother Francis aged 18yrs)
his son was James Anthony Tohill b 1880
his son one of many was John Martin Tohill b 1912 N Z
my mother Zita was b 1939
then me and my brothers and sisters
I'm not having much luck looking for the original family hoping someone had come across them . Please help
I have found a James Tohill who served in the Royal Irish Constabulary in Belfast just before he immigrated to Australia which fits in because he was in the Police force in Melbourne after coming out here he then went to New Zealand and came back to Aust and died in the Campaspe Elmore /Toolleen area 1914
All help greatly recieved and thanks in advance
Karen (Seddon) McDonald

Karen, I have all the detail you seek. But I need to have details of the family of your grandfather, John Martin, resident in Australia to add to the information that I have.

Please email me direct.

Hi Karen,

Im your Mum's cousin from NZ (one of 74 first cousins). My mother was Gay, the 13th of the 17 Tohill children.

I was one of the organisers of a family reunion last year, when we tried hard to get in touch with all Tohills. Couldnt get your Mum on a plane, but your Aunt Dot came.

Some suggest we should have another reunion, say in 2008 which is the anniversery x100 of the marriage of your great grandma and grandfather.

Do you have any information from Belfast re James Tohill. I've checked his records in Melbourne with the Police History Museum. I noticed he was not listed with the Irish Constabulary, which doesnt mean he didnt serve with them in Ireland, just that he didnt come to Australia that way, I guess. If you've got anything from Belfast Id love to see it.

By "The original family" do you mean going back to Ireland? Hugh knows everything there is to know about that.

As to your NZ relatives, where Uncle Jack, your grandfather was born, there are many of us and we keep in touch.

We thought we might get up a web page and put all the photos on. Also, there were three newsletters leading up to the Reunion...called "Tohill Times". look forward to hearing from you....Your Mum's cousin Frankie
