Hmmm. My mother's maiden name was Driscoll. Her grandfather (who was an O'Driscoll and later doropped the O) came from COunty Kerry in Ireland to New Zealand in the late 1800s, I think. They settled in an area they called Kerrytown in the South Island.
ReplyDeleteHi - the DRISCOLL's or O'DRISCOLL's can be interchangeable. My lot arrived in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia in 1848 from County Cork, Ireland. Not by choice but by force :-) - a convict. Quite a few of them in the end as he had 2 wives and 22 children in total in Australia.
