Clare / O'Halloran
« on: Monday 22 March 10 02:02 GMT (UK)  »
 ::) I am looking for information on my Great-Grandmother Margaret O'Halloran born about 1843 in County Clare.  I believe that Margaret emigrated to australia, then on to New Zealand, arriving about 1860 to 1865.  Margaret married a goldminer turned farmer, Daniel Hanlon from Cork (also recorded as O'Hanlon) in 1872, and they farmed at Moonlight, near Middlemarch in Central Otago New Zealand for 28 years, retiring to Dunedin in 1907, and Margaret died in 1919.
A Margaret O'Halloran arrived as an assisted immigrant in New South Wales in 1860 on the ship Tudor (she was aged 19 and came from Daughan in County Clare).
A Margaret O'Halloran saied from Melbourne, Victoria to Otago, New Zealand on the ship Alhambra in 1863.  Both seem to be likely matches.
Any help in filling in the gaps would be appreciated.

Cork / Hanlon or O'Hanlon
« on: Monday 22 March 10 01:42 GMT (UK)  »
 ???  I am looking for County Cork records for my Great-Grandfather Daniel Hanlon (also shown as O'Hanlon in death/burial records).  He was born about 1835 in County Cork, but as yet I do not have a parish or location.  Daniel emigrated, probably to the Australian goldfields in Victoria before 1860, then went goldmining in Central Otago in New Zealand.  He farmed at Moonlight near Middlemarch, Central Otago for 28 years, after marrying Margaret O'Halloran from County Clare in 1872.  They retired to Dunedin in 1907, and Daniel died there in 1916.
There is a passenger record of a Daniel Hanlon aged 26 and his brother Patrick aged 30, arriving in New South Wales on the ship Glen Isla in 1857 - age and date is a match, but may not be him.  I will continue to search for information on a locality in County Cork, but interested in any information.
