John Butler McCabe b. 1848

[jeffreyjoecarroll]

I am seeking information about John Butler? McCabe, b. c1848 Kilkenny to John Lachlan? McCabe (1785-1879) & Ellen or Helena Butler (?-1853).

I believe John jnr had a brother Thomas born a couple of years either side of John.

John snr came to Australia, possibly in 1860 on board 'Tudor' along with children, John, Thomas & Bridget.

Any information appreciated,

Thanks Wayne100,

I've done a fair amount of research since this post and have uncovered quite a bit of info on John Butler McCABE. Our connection with him is through his 2nd marriage to Mary Magdaline McCABE. He married Mary on 10th August 1905, only 5 months after Jane died.

I'm still trying to locate additional information about John's parents and siblings. I think a connection has been made with a fellow rooschatter in Ireland.....still working on it.

There are so many John's and Thomas' in the family!!!

Best,
Jeff

Hi Chinka,

I would be interested to hear of any information on John Butler McCabe's ancestry if you have details. I hit brick walls with his after his parents. I have some details on him and the family once in Australia.

Jeff

Hello Chinka,

I've found the McCabe family quite confusing. Was your Thomas McCABE born c1849, to John & Hilda? McCABE, arrived in Australia on board 'Tudor', married Harriett JARRETT and died 1925.

I am related directly to both this Thomas AND his brother John due to an unusual marriage.

There are a few McCabe families at the same time with John's and Thomas's which are completely different. I have gone down incorrect paths a couple of times in my research. I have both John & Thomas's death certificates, however they contradict their mothers' name. Both say BUTLER, however one lists her as Hilda, the other Helena. I would like to either confirm (or rule out) their relationship once and for all.

I would love to find out more about the Irish side of the family if you have any information.

I'm with you Chinka. I understand the relationships and how they work out. I believe you are referring to Mary Ellen & Augustus when you say Nellie & Gus.

I have limited photos but a little bit of history that you may/may not have. I shall PM you in the next couple of days as the details from here on are of a rather personal nature and add no benefit this particular post.

Regards,
Jeff
