Hi,
Have just started researching John Considine. I think he may have been my great great grandfather. I only have limited family info. I was told that his parents were Michael Patrick And Catherine Considine from County Clare. Apparently John was born in 1838 and died in 1890 (52 years old). We think he came to Australia around 1862. But I have no idea of the name of the boat.
Johns first marriage was to Mary Cunningham (also from County Clare). Mary was born 1938 or 1939. Mary died 1870 (31 years old). Don't know if they had children.
Johns second marriage was to Anne Leary in 1871. Their son Henry was my great grandfather. Henry was born in 1874 or 1875 in Ballarat Victoria. Henry married Elizabeth Dooley. I can give you names of their 6 children if you want them. Henry died in April 1932.
I haven't gotten any records to substantiate this yet, its just family history that has been passed on.
Do you have any specific info on when John came to Australia, i.e. year and name of boat ?
