Fermanagh / Re: Magee Family of migrants to NSW
« on: Friday 06 January 23 06:16 GMT (UK)  »
Family history is my hobby and I have been at it for decades, and more so since I retired some 10 Yrs ago.

The pages of the old Irish RC Priests' books have been indexed but access may not be free.  I suggest you try https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ and/or Ancestry.com. The latter can be accessed for free at a public library (at least in QLD), some of which have a visiting volunteer genealogist who may be able to help as well.

I can't find much about Thomas E. Waters other than his wedding to Ethel Mellare in Lismore in 2022.  Do you have any details of his birth, death and parents.  An index of famine orphans has
one person with the Waters surname, viz. Ann Waters, from Sligo, age 14, RC, arrived on "Lady Kennaway", Melbourne, 1848 (https://irishfaminememorial.org/orphans/database/).  Is this the connection you mentioned?

Hello Anne Maree

We are connected by the marriage of a Farrell to a Mellare.  My father was Kevin John Farrell (1918-1989) and his older sister, Lorna May Farrell (1915-1999) married a son of John Mellare (1868-1956) and Sarah Ann nee Flatley (1872-1955), (Lawrence) Bernard Mellare (1909-1949) in Lismore in 1936.

Kind regards

Kevin

Sorry. I should have provided more inf.  The names on the right were recorded by the surviving NOK as the parents.  Michael was John's father, but his mother's name was not given. This is from the NSW Index on BDM, found online at https://familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au/

Name              Registration Number Father's Given Name(s) Mother's Given Name(s) District
FLATLEY JOHN 12830/1916             MICHAEL                                                         LISMORE

The origin of the Flatley family may be conjectural.  According to his obituary of 18 Aug 1916 (The Richmond River Herald and Northern Districts Advertiser (NSW), John Flatley (1835-1916) was born in Galway, and this is engraved on his cemetery monument in Coraki (findagrave.com).  A NSW immigration record/passenger manifest may provide more info.  I have found one for a Thomas Flatley, age 26, who arrived on "Lady Milton" in 1862, and was from Co. Sligo.

Hello Annemaree
 :D  We certainly are related as my older paternal aunt was Lorna May Mellare, nee Farrell (1915-1999) who married Lawrence Bernard ("Nugget") Mellare in Lismore in 1936.  Nugget was the youngest of 10 children of Jack and Sarah Ann.  Which one are you descended from?
My father was Kevin John Farrell (1918-1989).  You can find part of my family tree on geni.com, basic membership of which is free, by searching my father.
Very best wishes for the New Year.

Hello Dave
Many thanks for the info.  It may well be our man; the location is appropriate. I am trying to make contact with someone in the family who may be able to give us confirmation.  There is a family tree on FamilySearch that may be his which would provide much ancestral info.

I think Erwin was Austrian, but I don't know his year or place of birth.  Other than oral history his marriage and birth of daughter in 1939, the only thing found online is on Family Search, a burial at Friedhof Oberlaa, Vienna of an Erwin Holzinger who died on 25 Oct 1978, which may or may not be him.
