My apologies - I meant to say the Gough family not Stroud.

Tipperary / Re: Seeking information on Mary Phelan/Wayland

Hi
Mary Whelan (correct name) was born in Clonmel, convicted of larceny and transported to Tasmania as you stated.
She was in fact my great great grandmother and we have documentary proof of this.
She did marry Thomas Hudson (correct name) and they had 2 children, Mary Ann and Henry Thomas (known as Thomas). Mary Ann married John McNamara in Horsham, Victoria, Australia, and one of the daughters, Catherine (my grandmother), married into the Curtain family.
The Phelan and Wayland spellings are incorrect as is much of the information available and should be disregarded.
Unfortunately, the Stroud family tree includes Mary Whelan but this is also incorrect and can be easily proven. Again, an error copied so many times seems to become a valid truth in ancestry and others.
If you want fuller information, contact me at (*)
