Antonio TOWER & Mary CATON, Australia
Hi,
I'm looking for information on ANTONIO TOWER born Ireland, ~1810. Married MARY CATON at St Mary's Cathedral (Catholic) in Sydney, in 1853. The spelling of her name may be incorrect as she signed the marriage certificate with her X mark.
I heard a rumour from someone in the family that they were both from Tipperary.
In the next generation it appears that TOWER and TOWERS became interchangeable. When they registered the births of their children Anthony, Margaret, Michael (died 1), Michael and Mary the father's were listed as Anthony or Antony.
His first name is unusual for an Irishman but it has been speculated that this may have something to do with the Spanish Civil War.
Does anyone have any info?
