Richard O’Connor of Desmonds Avenue got the attached notice sent to him recently from Sydney.
The people who sent it to him saw it in a newpaper down there.
“They sent it to me thinking there might be a connection with the Nelligan families in the area,” said Richard.
The text of the notice is as follows:
Julia Oliver (nee Nelligan)
Seeking information on Julia Oliver (nee Nelligan), born in 1884 in Kilcummin, Ireland. Her parents were Timothy Nelligan and Catherine (nee Sullivan) who arrived in Sydney aboard the ‘Cuzo’ in 1889.
