Tipperary / Re: Who were the parents of sisters, Mary and Biddy Hill from Tipperary, Ireland?
« on: Tuesday 22 September 20 07:25 BST (UK)  »
Matthew,

I first read of Fr. John Murphy's exploits and the "Saddlebag" records some time ago and thought it quite a remarkable story - certainly memorable.  It had crossed my mind that William's and Alfred's baptismal records (not Percy's, as I thought originally) may have been in those saddlebags, but I dismissed the idea as fanciful!!  Thank you.

Jacob Turnbull was the licensee of the Culloden Tavern, Shipwright's Point, Franklin (1859-1861).

Odd the way in which Laurence Slattery keeps re-emerging in this saga.

Matthew,

How did you gain access to the baptismal records?  Through the TAHO site or the Catholic Archives website.  The originals would be held at St. Joseph's Church in Hobart?  How would I go about acquiring copies (printouts) of the originals?  William's would be of interest to me, as would Etty's and the other children born in NZ.

No luck in deciphering 'matin'.  I do not think it is the name of the bishop who provided recommendations for the Slatterys.  (No initial capital and outside the brackets).

Shall wait to see if you receive any further information about Bridget Hill before summarizing the findings.

I continue to look very closely at the Slattery/Murray/Hill connections.

With thanks,
Mary

Matthew,

I am immensely grateful.  Thank you.  Shall look forward to see what you discover.

Very sobering newspaper cuttings - quite graphic really.

I am unable to access the letter to be deciphered.  Link takes me to immigration records.

Maggsie,

Thanks for your post.  Shall delve into it.

Matthew,

Thank you for transcribing these records.  Yes, scribbled notes on the Descriptive List of Immigrants state quite clearly that Mary and Biddy Hill were sisters and Catherine and Mary Slattery their cousins.

The baptismal records are of great interest to me.  They confirm some of the new information which has come forth during the past few days.  Mary Ann's death certificate states that she was born in 1858.  I had always queried that date and thought it far more probable it was 1856.

Shall track down other church records and Bridget Hill's death certificate.

Wivenhoe,

Yes, I think it very likely too that this is the Catherine (Kate Mary) Slattery I have been seeking.

Thank you,
Mary

Matthew,

Your work is superb!!  Thank you.  This is a splendid 'fit' for Mary J. Slattery.  I have enjoyed reading it very much.

Matthew,

Mary Hill and Jacob Turnbull were my gg grandparents.  Their lives are quite well documented.  Several family trees exist.  I have scrutinized every single document over many years.  None reveals the place of birth, nor the birth parents of Mary Hill.

Mary Margaret Turnbull's death certificate reveals very little.  (Maiden name Hill).  Her daughter, (my g grandmother), Etty's marriage certificate states that her mother's name was Margaret Slattery.  I believe this to be an error.  Though Etty's birth was unregistered in NZ, other family records would indicate that Mary Hill was indeed her birth mother.

I do not know what became of the Slattery sisters.  The Register of the Hiring and Disposal of Immigrants 1854 shows that Mary was sent to the Rev. Murray at Kangaroo Point.  (This is where the Turnbulls lived).  Catherine was sent to Pittwater.  No Tasmanian marriage, birth or death records lead me to state definitively that they remained on the island.  Most probably they left.

Again many, many thanks,
Mary

Matthew,

Thank you so much.  What a wonderful contribution.  It confirms my own research and enables me to conclude with a greater degree of certainty that there is a very high probability these are indeed the sisters from the "Maitland".

I have copies of all relevant RC baptismal records for Tipperary from the findmypast site.  Several Mary and Biddy Hills and Mary and Catherine Slatterys, but the parents for each of the sisters are different - no godparents with the names Slattery or Hill.

Would be wonderful to know who their parents were.

With gratitude,
Mary
