Kilkenny / Bergin / Brophy - Kilkenny pre 1830
« on: Wednesday 09 August 23 03:37 BST (UK) »James Bergin (m) Mary Brophy - about 1805??
One known son John Bergin 1809 - who married Alice Byrne (date unknown) assuming in the county of Kilkenny - as their first child Bridget was born 1835, Gowran.
I cannot locate anything about John's siblings - or his parents. I have seen somewhere that James (the father) was born in Gowran, Kilkenny 1782, although not sure if this is correct - as I cannot locate any records, perhaps none exist.
The line from John and Bridget (Byrne) Bergin - family down, is pretty much ok, but it is the line going the other way, that is difficult to trace.
Any help re: this topic would be most appreciated. Jak

Hi Cheryl
I'm from Patrick and Catherine's line - migrated to Australia.
Unable to find any info in regards to Bridget (Patrick's first wife) - only that she had a large family, 9 sons 2 daughters - only 2 sons are counted for. Not sure what happened to the youngest Caroline (or Catherine) b. 1841, or John b. 1840.

Yes, Evans seems to have disappeared, for now.
Re: the JM to Joseph Mathews this maybe so, but the John Ward in the notice in regards to the horse may not be 'the John Ward' - as there were other Wards in the area before the arrival of John and Judith. . . .. whether there is another John Ward, other than their son, who would have been still only a kid. . . is unknown at the moment

Not really - although one was Joseph Haywood - who's family had property - in the
area and he was licensee of a hotel in Montefiores from 1855 where the Wards/McKenna were from. the other is listed only as R. Evans - didn't look for him/her as of yet.

Thanks, it's been too long.
There was no mention in the newspapers either, which is odd, as there were
four children under the age of 7. It's just a mystery.

John Ward who married Judith Reece in Parramatta - is still a mystery.
While I do not believe he walked out on Judith and remarried - I do believe he walked out on her (or maybe she turfed him out), which may have been best for both parties involved. A death certificate has never been found, which beyond doubt, connects him with Judith or his family. The John Ward (alias Maxwell) who died in 1853, sounds promising, but is there a connection leading him back to Judith or the Wellington area? The newspaper article: the chap who knew him for 12yrs or so, did state he was married, but he doesn't state if he had children, nor did he state where this John was from. Maybe he only know him when he was in the Parramatta area around the time of his marriage to Judith.
I don't think we can rule him out completely, but I doubt if a connection can be made back to Judith.
