Personal Stories
History of the name
I am not too sure of the connection I have with Bernard, but most likely a cousin to my mother, Kathleen Cahill from Melbourne. Her father was Edmund Cahill, sister to Kathleen (Cahill) Gaukroger.
I find the middle name of Andrew Walsh interesting, as it was the name of Kathleens father - Andrew Walsh Cahill. Originally from Tipperary Ireland, headmaster at Alectown school in the early 1900's.
Cheers, Lisa Dullard, Bendigo.
