O'Leary Family - Gabriel's Gully NZ

[sessel29]

Hi there.
I am looking for information of the O'Leary family that settled in Gabriel's Gully in the South Island.

I have information that Jeremiah O'Leary born 1835 in Co.Cork Ireland to Patrick O'Leary and Ellen Kelly married Ellen Stack in Victoria Australia. They had one son in Australia and immigrated to GG, South Island circa 1862 where they had more children. I come off the line Patrick O'Leary who married Margaret Monaghan in 1901 and then later married Catherine Monaghan and had a total of 13 children - with my grandmother Teresa O'Leary being the youngest.

I'm looking for help/information about the O'Leary family within NZ as well as their history before coming to NZ.
Thanks
Sarahlee

This looks to be the inquest of Jeremiah

http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TT18750623.2.6&srpos=30&e=-------100--1-byDA---2jeremiah+oleary--

These 2 births may be to the correct couple

1866/32080   O'Leary    Jeremiah    Ellen   Jeremiah   
1873/35436   O'Leary    Daniel    Ellen   Jeremiah

Cheers Janette

Thank you Beg!! That elaborates on a few details I have (I had potential years of marriage but no further details). And thank you Janette!! I had a son named Donald/Donal listed as being born in 1874 - so I will look into that listing further - it could be a case of misspelling or a nickname used.
Thank you both so much!

[Janette]

There is a death for

1934/2000   O'Leary    Donald       60Y

born C1874 but no sign of a Donal or Donald birth,they may not have registered him

A maybe marriage
1901/2267   Annie    McLellan    to Donal    O'Leary

Cheers Janette

Hi Sarahlee .... welcome to RootsChat. 

The death of Donald O'LEARY (as mentioned in previous post) who died in 1934, can be found at the PapersPast website.

"Evening Post" (Wellington) - 6 December 1934 - page 13 - Mining Fatality.

The notice mentions that Donald was formerly of Lawrence and that he left a son, namely Donald and a daughter, Hazel.

From NZ BDM online, here are their birth registrations:

1903 - O'LEARY - Donal
Parents:  Donal and Annie

1906 - O'LEARY - Hazel Ellinor
Parents:  Annie and Donald
