Title: looking for any family member with the surname 'HOLY'
Post by: TOCUMWAL on Sunday 06 June 10 12:56 BST (UK): Hi folks,
I am new at this.
I would like help in finding any information on Jeremiah Holy born 1814 died 1884 at Smythesdale. He married Elizabeth Barry born 1817 died 1881 at Smythesdale, Victoria.
One son was Timothy Holy born1858 Geelong, died 1933 at Deniliquin, NSW.

Post by: judb on Sunday 06 June 10 13:36 BST (UK): Welcome to Rootschat, Tocumwal.

There are some digitised WW1 records for Albury (Aubrey) Rupert HOLY, Clifford Percivall HOLY, and Jack HOLY all with father T HOLY, as well as a WW2 mention of Blodwen Morwenna HOLY dau of George HOLY.

http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/recordsearch/index.aspx

Search as a guest - unfortunately there are quite few records to sift through as the word "holy" is also used in its more usual meaning.

National Library digitised news papers show:
1854 - A Jeremiah HOLY gave 3 pounds to the Convent of Mercy. The Convent appears to be in Melbourne but his money was collected in Geelong.
1848 - A Jeremiah HOLY was assualted at his place of work.

Births of nine children are shown on NSW BMDs for Timothy and Janet in Deniliquin - some deaths and marriages for HOLY in Deni also.

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm

Electoral rolls show
1903
John Thomas HOLY, miner and Michael Joseph HOLY, miner both at Smythesdale

I don't have access to Victorian indexes but some other 'chatters may be able to find some births for you.

I diidn't that about John and Micheal. It is hard to find out any information on the name Holy.

Post by: TOCUMWAL on Sunday 18 February 18 04:35 GMT (UK): Sorry I have not been on for a while. I am still looking for information on Jeremiah and Elizabeth Holy (Holey). I they were living in Smthyesdale and buried there. I was wondering anyone could show me what work they did for Jonathan B Were. Is there a list of workers
Title: Re: looking for any family member with the surname 'HOLY'
Post by: judb on Sunday 18 February 18 05:11 GMT (UK): There are a few more mentions on TROVE newspapers - for example:

March 1848, An assault on Jeremiah HOLY at his workplace - a saddlery

Post by: TOCUMWAL on Sunday 18 February 18 08:13 GMT (UK): Thank you! I have put them into my research. I looked up Jonathan Were but it doesn't tell me much about the workers. I know he brought workers to work for him. Did he employ them out to other people?

Title: Re: looking for any family member with the surname 'HOLY'
Post by: TOCUMWAL on Saturday 20 October 18 06:03 BST (UK): Hi again I have been looking into the Holy (Holey) family again. I was looking into Victoria information and found that the whole family were listed on a ship called Ocean in September 1855. But this is all I can found. I know all came back from Auckland but when and where or didn't they go. So I was wondering if you can help with some information this time
Title: Re: looking for any family member with the surname 'HOLY'
Post by: TOCUMWAL on Sunday 28 October 18 04:29 GMT (UK): I have since found out that they left September 1855 and arrived in Auckland in October 1855.I don't why they went or when they came back but I do know they were back in Australia by June 1857
