Hi Bob, re your expressed interest in 'Frank the Poet',I've recently read 'Exiles from Erin'(Convict lives in Ireland and Australia),edited by Bob Reece of Murdoch Uni.WA. It has an interesting chapter on 'Frank the Poet'. According to this its not clear from the available sources whereabouts in Ireland he hailed from, but he may have been from Co Clare and a relative of Donncadh Rua Mac Conmara the Irish poet. Have you anything on this ?
