Geraghty, Farrelly, Sheridan from Ballinagh
« on: Monday 28 July 08 05:21 UTC (UK) »

My great great grandfather Miles Geraghty b.1857 and his brother Patrick b.1844 from Ballinagh, Cavan migrated to South Australia in about 1879.

Their parents were John and Bridgid Geraghty (nee Farrelly)

Family oral history says that John was the son of Phillip and Anne Geraghty (nee Sheridan)

Any information about these families would be truly appreciated. I have copies of the marriage details for John and Bridgid Geraghty and the baptism details for their children.

I'm from Australia and I'm at a loss as to where to search.  Huh

Many thanks  Smiley

Welcome to Rootschat, kay bird.

Cate- the PM (personal message) system doesn't work until you make a few posts (anti-spam measure) so kay bird will have to make a few moreposts before using pm system,

Thanks aghadowey - I hadn't realised that about the PM's.

Kay - which child of Miles Geraghty is your friend Pat descended from? I am in touch with another descendant of Miles Geraghty who has done quite a lot of work on the Geraghty family tree. If you answer me a few times on here you wil be able to get PMs and I can give you some email addresses.
Regards,
Cate

Hello again Kay
I'm sure your friend Pat would know the lady I am in contact with -  she has lots of information. It is Ann, the daughter of Miles Geraghty Junior.

Does Pat still live in SA?

Regards

Hello again Kay
Glad I could point Pat in the right direction. Sorry - neither Ann nor I have been able to find shipping records for Miles. We think he came out here late 1870's or early  80's.

Best regards

Hi Kay
The copies of the certificates I have came from Ann so if you are in touch with her I'm sure she would be able to help you.

My great grandfather was Miles Aloysius Geraghty (1857) and his first marriage was to Margaret Barry (1862) in South Australia.  Margaret died after the birth of their youngest child (Miles).  Their fourth child Patrick was my grandfather.  Miles Aloysius' second married was to Margaret O'Donnell - no children.  Miles Aloysius' and his brother Patrick migrated to South Australia from Ireland.  They both had small farms in Oakbank c1887 and moved to Coonawarra in South Australia c1906.  My grandfather Patrick married Catherine Agnes Smith.  They moved from Coonwarra to Port MacDonnell in South Australia.

I would be really keen to hear from anyone who has any information on the family, both the Australian and Irish connections ...
