I am trying to find a connection between an E. L. Birnie who wrote a letter in 1915 from Newtown Australia and John "Jack" Stewart of Killygullib, Tamlaght O'Crilly Parish, Co. Londonderry, Ireland. I am not familiar with the name Birnie in TOC but do have quite a bit on the Stewarts of the area. Jack Stewart died at Gallipoli in 1914 and in his records is this letter stating E.L. is his cousin. I know this is a long shot but if anyone has any leads or suggestions for me it would be greatly appreciated.
