I am wondering if someone may be able to help with information about
Michael Cunneen born 1796 - Father John Cunneen - Mother unk .
1ts Marriage:-Michael married Bridget McNamara in 1826, they had 4 children .
Bridget died in 1836 in Clare Ireland.
;)
Michael 2nd Marriage:- to Bridget Herbert in 1839. They had 6 children and the last one a daughter was born in 1857, Baptised and died all in the same year.
Michael came out to Australia in 1857 with his wife and the 5 remaining children.
I am hoping to find out about their family and any siblings that they may have had in Clare Ireland.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards

Hello Annette,
I don't think I can help you, but I thought I'd get in contact with you anyway. My Cunneen great great aunts, Norah, Bridget, Ann, Mary and Kate came out from Clare to Australia in 1884 and '91. Their parents, Michael and Mary (nee Farmer) stayed in Ireland. The girls came to Qld, and Norah was my great Grandmother who married Timothy McCarthy and lived at Muttaburra, Qld. I live in Mareeba, Nth Qld. If you google Picture Australia, Muttaburra, you'll see their photo and the family hotel, the Exchange which the family owned for 70 years.
Feel free to keep in touch with me if you'd like to.
