Is the name 'Irans' or 'Irons'?

Have you investigated Patrick Guttery?  ie to find out when he came and his forebears?

it was common in those days for other family members  or village families to sponsor other members.

Sometimes also looking at early time census records from the communities that people went to can provide information as many families/villages had chain migration going on.   

Is Bridget Fahy related to Catherine Fahy?

I'm just wondering where the record is involving Terence Guthrie as coming from Tipperary?  Is it on the shipping list? or family lore?

That is an Ancestry link and not viewable for those without an Ancestry sub. 

I am not sure why you are saying the parents would be Terence William Guthrie and Bridget. If the Australian family followed the Irish naming patterns the first son would be named for the husband's father and if the first son is James wouldn't that mean the father of Terence was James?

Can you pl provide a link to the passenger list.

 I can see two sailings for this clipper ship in 1861 on one listing (March & December), and on another just one listing  (March 1861) showing that the  ship seems to have been quarantined at Melbourne because of small pox on board. 

Where did the passenger leave from and where did he land in Aus please?

John Grenham has useful info about the name Guthrie and variations in ireland

The three names from Tipperary came from Ardfinnan

These three names are on Griffiths 1852 (Tipperary south riding) are Thomas, William and Richard
From Ardfinnan


When you look at the 1901 census the oldest Guthrie there is only 45 so there may have been emigration.

The census also throws up another couple of localities that might be useful and that is Tullaghmelan

and another

Many Irish used a naming pattern for their children

Knowing the names and birth order of the children can be useful to pin point ancestors esp mother/father. 

A traditional naming pattern was often used by Irish parents until the later 19th century:

First son usually named for the father's father
Second son usually named for the mother's father
Third son usually named for the father
Fourth son usually named for the father's eldest brother
Fifth son usually named for the mother's eldest brother
First daughter usually named for the mother's mother
Second daughter usually named for the father's mother
Third daughter usually named for the mother
Fourth daughter usually named for the mother's eldest sister
Fifth daughter usually named for the father's eldest sister.

It would be useful to have the names of the children of this couple in birth order.
