oh you people are great. my interest is in james spirin. his name is spelled various ways. a number of people are researching limeirck families named sperin/speerin/spearin/speiran and various other spellings. all Limerick SPE families are connected. for your benefit, i have tried to compare my known list of baptism and marriage witnesses for all my limerick spearins in all the various parishes as well as the tithe applotments where my family branches were in the 1820s. it seems that one poster's assertion that these people were from croagh is correct. i have very good matches for several surnames on the 1822 insurrection list that suggest these people were from either croagh, patrickswell or ballingarry limerick. n 1824 a william sperin of croagh was sent to australia also on the ship asia.
