Thanks for your talk Owen. My Grandfather was born in Castlemaine in 1921 so I found it interesting to hear what was happening at that time and place.

My name is Erin Wyatt and Annie Cronin (Sis) was my great aunt. Her brother Patrick was my grandfather. He came to New Zealand as a young man but always kept in contact with Sis even though he never got to return to Ireland. I have found this account of great interest.

Hello I have just become aware of your account/video. One of my brothers has very generously made me aware of it.
Annie (Sis) Cronin was my great Aunty. Her brother Patrick Kerrisk Cronin was my Grand
Father and he emigrated to New Zealand as a young man in the early 1900. I am unsure on what date or year. Much to my Grand Fathers Mother's consternation, another of her sons, Con Cronin followed his brother Patrick to New Zealand as well.
Your video was extremely interesting and I had never heard any previous accounts of that area of Irish history or any accounts of the role my Great Aunty had to play in it.
Thank you for recording this excerpt of Irish History.
