Westmeath / Re: Mary Daly wife of Thomas Healon/Halion/Haylan ect.
« on: Monday 23 May 11 00:33 BST (UK)  »
Thank you Shane and PM for your replies.

PM I posted all the baptisms to see if any one could connect them. I have purchased many records in my search to find information on this family.
I would love to find out more about Mary Daly as she would have been pregnant when Thomas was arrested and she already had 4 children to look after.
When free passage was granted to Mary & the children in 1834. Mary didn't come was that because she had a child with a clubfoot or did she not want to leave her family and support for a strange country. 
The sponsors on Anne's baptism were a John & Mary Daily I wonder if they are related to Mary?
Mary's oldest son was Patrick John Haylan.
 
Thank you

Westmeath / Mary Daly wife of Thomas Healon/Halion/Haylan ect.
« on: Sunday 22 May 11 08:13 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for information on Mary Daly who married Thomas Halion before 1814 in Ireland most likely Westmeath, Offlay or Kildare. They had 5 children that I know of Patrick born 1814, Honora and Thomas born 1823, Bridget born 1825 and Mary born 1827.

I have a baptism for an Anne Halion in Jan 1827 to Thomas Halion and Mary Daily in Tubber & Rosemount Co Westmeath sponsors John Daily and Mary Daily. I think this maybe the youngest daughter Mary. This is the only baptism I have found for any children to them.

Thomas Halion snr was transported as a convict to Australia in 1827 (date of trial was 18 July 1826 @ Kings Co).
On 27 Feb 1832 Thomas Henlion (Halion) applied for his wife Mary Daly and 5 children be sent to New South Wales, Australia at the expense of the Government. Mary and the children were residing in the parish of Kill, Newtown Co Westmeath.

On 24 Dec 1834 free passage was granted to Mary Daly and the children. (Thomas Healon).

All 5 children arrived in Australia 18 Dec 1849 on board the Success only his eldest son Patrick was married and his wife and children came too. Mary Daly was not on board and is listed as dead by her children.

I believe Mary Daly died between 1836 and 1849. Any information regarding Mary Daly/Halion would be much appreciated.

Hi Prue,

 That's all of it the, It is on thick cardboard but a thin? layer has been peeled off. You can see where the outside of the photo has been cut. I'm guessing but I think it must of had a boarder around it.

Thanks

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Please date me I'm lost
« on: Friday 04 March 11 02:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All,

I found this photo along with others in a second hand shop in Wollongong NSW. I just couldn't leave Him/Her there & would love to find some family members for them to go home to. The only clue I have is on the back of another photo & that is the name Neville Tregown Beryl's brother( Beryl married a Keith Ryan in Lithgow). So I'm praying that by dating this photo I my get a clue to what family they  may of came from. I have contacted members on Ancestry with no response.

Many thanks
HS

Thanks,
The 2nd and 3rd photo's I posted are definitely Martha. The one on her own was taken long before she died in 1924/1925 and the other is of Martha and her youngest daughter taken abt 1902 when her daughter was 16.
So I now need to find out who the lady in the enlargement is.

Thanks for all your help
HS

Thank you Jim for the information will keep it in mind.
I have attached the other two photos I have of her and could you tell me if you think it is the same lady?

Thank you HS

No there is nothing on the back but if it is 1905 it is not my great grandmother as I have a photo taken when her daughter was 16 years old (abt 1902) and she looks much older.

Thank you

This is a photo that I believe is my 2x great grandmother. But dates would confirm. She was born in Bathurst NSW Australia in 1844 and died Burrandong NSW Australia in 1925. I have a photo of her with my great mother taken in abt 1902 and she looks much older and one not long before she died. All the facial feature's are very similar but in saying that so are mine and my sisters and sometimes our photos need to be double checked.
So if I could put a date on this photo it would help it is a photo of a photo the original is abt A3 size and is stuck in a discoloured carboard folder. I have not found the name of a photographer stamped on it. 

Thank you
HS
