MAHER and FARRELL and ROURKE
« on: Sunday 05 August 07 04:01 UTC (UK) »
Hello.

I am trying to find the backgrounds of John Maher and his second wife Hannah Farrell, possibly from around Roscrea.

John Maher was born around 1814/15, the son of farmer Charles Maher and his wife Jane, maiden name unknown.

In about 1842, he married Margaret Casey, daughter of Thomas Casey of Roscrea. They had two children. Jane, born about 1844, and Charles, 1846, born at Ballydonagh. Margaret died sometime after that and John remarried.

About 1851, he married Hannah Farrell, daughter of farmer Timothy and Margaret Farrell, nee Rourke, and in November that year they sailed from Plymouth to Australia.

I posted this a while back on the Tipperary board, but am told I should really have been looking in Offaly. If anyone has anything on any of the names here, I would be most grateful.

Cheers
GazT
