Title: Waller emigration to Tasmania
Post by: tracey clarke on Saturday 05 September 20 18:18 BST (UK)
I am researching the Waller families who lived in County Cavan Ireland in the 1800's.
I am interested in Rebecca Waller who married Louis Honroth in Hobart on the 26th July  1858.
She appears to be the only one from her family to go over and I was wondering why that would be. Would it be prospects over there at that time  or could she have been a convict?.
Interestingly on her marriage record it mentions William Waller as a witness. So maybe she went as there were relatives living in Tasmania.  As yet I have not found  William as a sibling for her.
Interested in people's thoughts.
Thank you

Have found William Waller as a brother who was married to Rebecca Waller in Drung Cavan 1854. These could be the witnesses on the marriage record. Still curious as to why they went over.

If you search for "Caroline Middleton" on https://trove.nla.gov.au/ you can find numerous reports of arrivals , goods carried and numbers of immigrants , all looking for work. There is a report here -

Reply to Jamjar's question. Rebecca and William's father was James..There is a possibility that their mother's maiden name was Little. Maybe a Margaret.They came from Ardglushin ,Drung in Cavan.
I did not know there was a Robert.

Thank you to you all. I was not expecting all of this so a lovely surprise to wake up to. The names in the will have tied up with the Irish records that I have thought were theirs.
Just need to find Margaret Russell's marriage and most importantly track down Robert Waller from Manly Beach near Sydney as I never knew he existed.

Should have also said that the reason I have decided to research all the Waller families in Co Cavan in the 1800's and early 1900 's is because I have been struggling to find our Wallers
As it's not a common surname I am hoping that I can find something. As you maybe aware the Irish records have loads of missing information.

In case people are following this Waller story.

The three Wallers who went over to Tasmania together in 1854.
Rebecca dairymaid and her brother William originate from Cliffin Cavan.
Their father was Robert. This Rebecca married Louis Honroth in Tasmania.

The other Rebecca who is William's wife her maiden name was Waller and her father was James. She was from Ardglushin.

Reply to Jamjar's question. Rebecca and William's father was James.

I think Robert.

Sorry I was copying from some notes that I had took of a website which I believe is wrong and should have written the father that I traced them back to.
In the original answer should have wrote their father was Robert not James.
It was William's wife Rebecca,whose maiden name was also Waller ,whose father wasJames. It was her sister Ellen who married Daniel Dowd and had a daughter Margaret.
Really appreciate all the help. Thank you

Now I realise why there are not a lot of Wallers in Cavan. They all went over to you.
Thank you for all your hard work.

I believe this is the Robert Waller who is William's brother and went to Manly.

Robert Waller from Cliffin Cavan married Matilda Johnston 1854.

Three children born in Cavan.
1865 Margaret Jane
1868 Robert
1871 Matilda.

I can’t find the shipping list for the GRETNA.

I’d like to know which son and daughter made the trip with them.

If Thomas is also their son, one of the boys must have come over earlier/later.

There is a Thomas arriving NSW:

Thomas WALLER 22 Pericles 1883 Sydney Reel 2142

Looking at NSW marriages there is a Thomas H to an Elizabeth in 1886. So, I think Robert A may have arrived later.

However, there is also Thomas H marrying an Elizabeth M in 1909. So, it could be either or.

Given that Robert and Matilda married in 1854 and we have daughter Margaret born in 1865, I would think there were children born before Margaret.

A Thomas H WALLER married 608/1888 WALLER Thomas H to OHARA Eliza SYDNEY

Eliza died 1887 in TAREE: 9186/1887 WALLER Eliza parents JOHN and Elizabeth

In Memoriam, show that it’s the correct person. 1st column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13682558

I don’t know why the marriage wasn’t registered until 1888.

2nd marriage: 7986/1909 WALLER Thomas H to JACKMAN Elizabeth M GLEBE

I think the Thomas in NZ, who was mentioned in the will, was the brother of William wife.

As an aside, some family members named Sydney residences CAVAN BRAE.

There is no way to be sure everyone is connected without purchasing some certificate transcriptions.

Jamjar


Jamjar, these are my direct ancestors, and I'm still trying to find out more about Robert Alexander's father Robert (who married Matilda Johnston) parents (also Robert, and Mary A) and possible siblings. Tracey is helping me piece some of it together, including this William who went to Tasmania. So I am following this info with interest.

Furthermore, there are other offspring before Margaret I've had help to confirm.

Mary Ann b.1856 - d.1934
John William b.1858 - d. 1882
Thomas Henry b.1864 - 1938 as you suggested.

Then the ones you listed:

Margaret Jane b. 1865 - d.1953
Robert Alexander b. 1868/9 - d.1922 - my direct ancestor
Matilda Eliza b.1857 - d.1959

As an aside, I'm also interesting in finding out more about the family of Robert Alexander's wife - Elizabeth Marion (Lily/Lillian) Mackay. I know her father's name was George, but little else.

Re the mentioned in a Jamjar post Florence WALLER who married William E. A. MACKAY in 1914. Neither was in a hurry to join their ancestors as she lived to 97 and he to 101. They had one child Florence J registered in NSW to 1920. Florence was thus born ca. 1888, the same year Thomas Henry WALLER married his 2nd wife Eliza O'Hara (ca. 1858-1903), a first cousin of his 1st having arrived in 1880 from Greaghadossan townland in Killinkere parish that adjoined where Thomas Henry's fathers farm was in Cleffin townland. For Thomas Henry see a Waller family of Cleffin web at: http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~jray/genealogy/waller/index.htm#thw 

In regard to Tracy Clarke's messages,  as William Waller was 17 when he arrived in 1854 so born ca. 1837, and sister Rebecca was 27 so born ca. 1827 and as their father was Robert of Cleffin townland they would have been children of Robert of Cleffin who died in 1871 who as explained on the cited web page was the father of Robert who arrived with his three (or perhaps only two) last born children at Hobsons Bay in Victoria on the Greta in 1884.

Hi Tracey, I don't have any information about the Waller immigration, but I thought you might like to know I live in Louis Henry Honroth's house in North Hobart! It's a 1905 Federation cottage my husband and I have been restoring. I wanted to know the history of the house, so spent hours in the archives looking up postal delivery addresses to get a name! If you would like a bit more info just let me know.
