Note	Clipped from a web forum: there are a few errors but some other leads to follow. Cianne 27-10-2010, 2:26 AM Thank you Niall, for listing your surname interests. Here is some information for you: Note: Jonas Greatwiks; Jonas Greatrex; John Greatrex; John Greatrix; John Grotrix; Jns Greybrigs: I believe these are all the same person - Jonas Greatrex, my 3x great-grandfather, who lived in Ashfield, Sydney during the years mentioned. Jonas Greatrex (1806-1870), his wife Mary Owen and their daughters, Mary Ann (1829-1905) and Catherine (1835-1894) arrived in Australia in 1839 on the "Forth". Catherine - my great-great-grandmother- was born during the voyage. In 1862, Jonas Greatwiks paid deposits John Greatwiks aged 28, his wife and 4 children aged 10, 8, 6 and 4 from High Street, Limerick City. John was a tinplate worker. The Parish Priest of St John's, Limerick provided character references . The family arrived on the "Ocean Empress". [Greatwiks - Did Jonas have a speech defect - unable to sound ‘r’?] In 1863, Jonas Greatrex paid deposits for James Enright aged 31, his wife Eliza, and their children Belinda aged 7, Thomas aged 3 and Joseph aged 1. I have no record of the Enright family's arrival. Also in 1863, John Greatrex paid a deposit for Johanna Mara, a servant aged 22. Johanna arrrived on the"Morning Star" In 1963, John Greatrix paid deposits for Daniel McCarty (McCarthy) a labourer aged 18; and Mary McCarty (McCarthy) a servant aged 20 - both from Ballingarry, Co. Limerick. Character references were from the Ballingarry Parish Priest. Daniel and Mary arrived on the "Morning Star". Note on the immigration book for this ship: Daniel and Alice, travelled separately on this voyage. Alice gave information that she had a cousin, John Grotrix, in Ashfield, Sydney, NSW. Daniel had a friend, Jns Greybrigs, in Ashfield, Sydney, NSW. In 1876, Edward Greatorex paid deposits for James Greatorex, a labourer aged 17. He arrived on the "Earl Dalhousie"; and Ellen Greatorex, a servant aged 40 - no record of her arrival. Both were from 6 Mary Street, Limerick City. Character references were provided by James Sinright from the same address. [James Sinright is possibly James Enright, who was sponsored by Jonas in 1863, and didn't arrive here.] The Immigration Book for this ship and voyage gave this information on James: His parents were Edward and Ellen, living at George Street, Sydney NSW Australia In 1877, James Greatorex paid deposits for Ellen Enright, a servant aged 48; and her son, Joseph Enright, a baker aged 16. Both were from Mary Street, Limerick. Their referee was William Delaney from John Street, Limerick.
