My great grandfather was Miles Aloysius Geraghty (1857) and his first marriage was to Margaret Barry (1862) in South Australia.  Margaret died after the birth of their youngest child (Miles).  Their fourth child Patrick was my grandfather.  Miles Aloysius' second married was to Margaret O'Donnell - no children.  Miles Aloysius' and his brother Patrick migrated to South Australia from Ireland.  They both had small farms in Oakbank c1887 and moved to Coonawarra in South Australia c1906.  My grandfather Patrick married Catherine Agnes Smith.  They moved from Coonwarra to Port MacDonnell in South Australia.

I would be really keen to hear from anyone who has any information on the family, both the Australian and Irish connections ...

Hello!

My great great grandfather is also Miles Geraghty! The first daughters name of Miles and Margaret is Bridget Mary, who was born in 1884. Her first daughter is Myrtle Adeline, my grandma.

Cheers

Hi Bradley
We are also descended from Bridget Geraghty - via William Carson, Bridget's third child. Myrtle had 4 children and I am in touch with 2 of them, Les and Lorna. Are you a member of George's family?
Would love to PM you but until you have a few more posts on Rootschat, the personal message system does not work for security reasons.
Regards
Cate

Hi Cate,

I am not really a member of George´s family, but of Lorna. She is my Mum. I am living in Germany. We are trying to get a lot of informations for our family tree.


Best regards

Bradley

Hi Bradley - I have sent you a friend request via Facebook - Robyn and Ann are already in my contacts. I've been doing a lot of research on the family over the past few years and would be more than happy to pass on any information that you don't have. Your Mum may still have our email address - C. and A. in Qld. Regards

Hi
I am excited to find a number of you who are related to Miles/Myles Geraghty.  My sister and I are researching Dad's side of the family.  Miles Aloysius Geraghty was our GG Grandfather.  His son, John Augustine Geraghty (born in Australia) was our G Grandfather.  John married Bessie Farrelly in Florida and had two children (Patrick b 1908 Florida and Bessie/Elizabeth b 1910 San Francisco).  We believe that Bessie (the mother) died either in the US or shortly after travelling to Glasgow (there is a record showing a mother and two children matching this family - presumably on the way to Ireland).  Dad always understood that John was in the army but we are yet to find records of this.
All the names discussed in these posts are familiar from our family tree!!  We would love to connect with others either from John's line or back  from Miles' line.
Thank you
