Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Higginbottom White Rooney Gosport Portsmouth Adoptions 1850-1920s
« on: Saturday 09 March 19 08:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - I am at a complete dead-end with finding the reality of any of these three! And I am not finding any DNA matches in Ancestry or My Heritage.

Cecelia or Cecilia Higginbottom b1883 Gosport. Family gossip is that she is Irish, adopted by a Minister from Portsea. But have also some thoughts that her mother was:
Annie Rooney - Can not find any record of her!

Father: Joseph Higginbottom b Brompton 1868. d. 1946 -think he is Royal Marine in July1886, later marries Louisa Spearing b1863-1929.  Think he is son of Alfred and Alice Jane Hazlewood of London.

Any help would be much appreciated - totally confused! Ceceilia does marry John White and come to Australia - so she existed. Thanks Sue

« on: Friday 17 March 17 03:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - I am looking for information on any of the following. Such info that I have comes mainly from Australian death certificates.

William Dunshea b abt 1794.  He was convicted for stealing two cows. 18 Mar 1818 • Crown Court Carrrickfergus Antrim Ireland and sent to Australia. Wife and son Andrew b 1815 followed later.

 m about 1815 in Lisburn, Anterim

m Jane Flemming or Fleming b. 1792 or 1794 in Anterim Ireland
parents James Flemming and Isabella Todd

One rumor is that he was Scottish. Buried in Presbyterian Church in Sydney.

Any help much appreciated - saw a Fleming Scottish strand here somewhere before.
Cheers

Kildare / Margaret Flynn, Laugh House, Kildare, Australia
« on: Monday 20 February 17 05:55 GMT (UK)  »
i was hoping someone might be able to help me with an obscure request that I  have not been able to find through Google etc. I am doing family history and found this intriguing ad in our Trove database in Australia.

In Sydney Morning Herald, 19Aug1840 ad:

“Looking for Margaret Flynn, "Laugh House" Kildare thought arrived Apr 1833 on Bussorah Merchant. "Mother sister brother recently arrived on North Briton”.

This totally fits my family, where we have widow Mary Flynn and children John and Catherine arriving in 1839 on the North Briton in Sydney. They are from Queens County.

However I have consulted a few sources re: passengers on the Bussorah Merchant of 1833 and do not see her listed.

i do see a Margaret Flynn arrived on the Cabotia on 19 Sept 1833, aged 26.

Anyway - my questions are

1) Do you have any idea what “Laugh House” is/was?

2) Any record of Margaret Flynn (Parents John Flynn and Mary McNamara)?

Thanks in advance or any help or directions you might be able to give me.

Laois (Queens) / Flynn McNamara to Australia
« on: Friday 27 January 17 00:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - this is my first post.  I am looking for any information on these two families; rumored to be related in Ireland. Any help or hints gratefully received!  Sue

I am hoping for help with my husband's Laois ancestors- have hit a brick wall. Siblings John Flynn b~1809, Catherine Flynn, b~1819 all came to Australia with mother Mary McNamara? Flynn b~1770 on the North Briton arriving 14/12/1839. Siblings Margaret Flynn b~1824, Bridget Flynn may have come earlier 1833?. Father John Flynn was dec. ll the details came from their ships' papers: John Flynn (Kildare?, Queens), mother Mary McNamara Flynn (Maryborough, Queens. p: Thomas McNamara and Margaret Hutchinson).

They are supposedly cousins with Thomas McNamara (Co Galway, b ~1814), son of Patrick McNamara and Ann Hough, arrived 1830s. Thomas McNamara from (Glencoe, Galway).

Thanks!
