Hi: 

I happened upon your reference on Bytown or Bust to Bart Donelly and Joanna Quail, as being part of the 
Fitzwilliam migration from Wicklow.  I note that they were added in recently, at the end of 2009. 

Can I ask how you came upon this information?  I am interested in this family in my own research. 

Thank you,

Frank Hutchingame
