Tipperary / Re: Kennedy, Nenagh
« on: Sunday 14 December 14 01:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, Many thanks for your email, sorry but I do not know your name. The Catherine born in 1845 has Catherine Cant as her mother. I have the birth certificates for all the children, I also have all the details of their births and deaths. I have Joseph and Catherines marriage certificate, also his marriage to Mary Tobin. I have a copy of the letter of administration from Joseph's will and Elizabeth as the person in charge, do not know about the other details you have. Would love to have a copy. As you do not wish to have private information on line, which I agree with, would you like to contact me *. I do know I have Brooks relatives, as they are buried with their grandparents in Melbourne General Cemetery. I really would like to speak with you, as I have also recently been contacted by a Brooks ancestor in USA. And would like to fill you in on this, if you don't already know.
Regards Jan.

Hi Delizy, Many thanks for you reply regarding Catherine Kennedy and Joseph Cousins. All my information is correct, so maybe there are two couples with the same names. My Catherine came to Victoria Australia on the Pemberton which landed in Port Phillip in May 1849, and she was married to Joseph Cousins in June 1849, three weeks after her arrival here. She is listed in a book called Barefoot and Pregnant. Joseph Cousins was previously married to Mary Tobin, in 1840 and had a child Ellen Cousins and another one Mary Anne, who died in infancy . Mary Tobin Cousins died in 1849.  Together Catherine and Joseph had nine children, of which one Sarah Jane was my ggrandmother. Catherine died aged 36 in 1868 after the birth of her last child Alice, who died a few months later. They are all buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery plot L599. Also a letter was sent to the Nenagh Guarding in 1850, giving details of the girls that arrived together, which was published in this paper. Hope you keep in touch. Could you please tell me where you reside. I am in Doncaster Victoria Australia.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year Regards Janice (Finn)Chapman

 :)Thank you very much for your reply. It is very difficult to find out who were my gggrandmother's parents, as Catherine died very young. Her daughter Sarah Jane Cousins (my ggrandmother) was born in 1859 and died in 1954. So I have great memories her, but being only 9 when Catherine passed away her family history is very hard to come by. So I am not sure what to do now, but thank you so very much for you interest in sending me these details.
Regards finnbaker. Victoria Australia.

:)Dear Shane, herewith the information i sent previously . i have Catherine and Joseph cousin's marriage certificate in June 1849, but there are no provisions for parents on this old certificate. on her death certificate someone has listed his name as Phillip a publican, but i cannot see this as true. i have notes from a Mary Kenna from the Nonah union, who was employed by Jeremiah Bowles, who wrote home and her letter was published in the Nenah guardian 5th January 1850. she also mentioned Mary Cawley and Margaret Kennedy who also were getting married. this also mentioned a number of other details. I wrote to the Nenah historical society in 1990 and they said there was nothing about my ggrandmother. this was before the PRO here in Melbourne found the above information. Is it possible to get a copy of this newspaper article, from so long ago?. Hope you have a Merry Christmas, and thank you for your speedy reply.
Regards Jan Chapman.

Dear anniedwyer84. I posted a message on 1st December re Catherine Kennedy, for whom you found a birth certificate in Nenagh, but as yet I have not received a reply. Have I done something incorrectly. Could you please let me know.

Dear Annie, I have Catherine and Joseph Cousins' marriage certificate of 2nd or16th June 1849, but there are no provisions for parents on this old certificate. On her death certificate someone has listed his name as Phillip a publican, but I cannot see this as true. I have notes from a Mary kenna from the Nenagh union, who was employed by Jeremiah bowles, who wrote home and her letter was published in the Nenagh Guardian 5th January 1850. She also memtioned Margaret Cawley and Margaret Kennedy who also were getting married.This also mentioned a number of other details.
I wrote to the Nenagh Historical Society in 1999 and they said there was nothing about my GGgrandmother. ???? This was before the PRO here in Melbourne found the above information.
Certainly the date you have given would be about correct as she died in 1868 at 36 year.
Once again many thanks.

My GGgrandmother Catherine Kennedy came to Port Phillip in May 1849, on the Pemberton, she was to go to a Patrick Kennedy at Newtown, but married Joseph Cousins three weeks later. Is there any way I can find out who Patrick Kennedy was. As I have had no luck in finding out anything about Catherine before her arrival in 1849, she was 18 years of age.

Dear Lou, You might be able to help, I have tried all the shipping records for Henry Gould and Amelia, but have not had any luck with finding when they came to Australia. Could you please suggest where I might look.
Thanks (Jan) Finnbaker.
