Mary Carey abt1824
« on: Wednesday 27 August 08 08:27 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information on a Mary Carey who married Phillip Cannon. Her death certificate, indicates she married in Kilkenny about 1843. Her death certificate lists parents as unknown. Philip and Mary immigrated to Australia in 1854. Two of their three daughter were born in Kilkenny -- Mary Ann about 1850 and Eliza about 1853.

Any clues of where to even look greatly appreciated as I haven't had much luck with Irish records although have been able to locate a lot of information after the family's arrival in Australia.

Many thanks,
Brian.

The Griffiths Valuation Index for Co. Kilkenny, Ireland 1849 &1850 shows Philip CANNON as tenant in "Wind Gap", Pennefather's Lot, Parish of St Johns and this seems a likely match. No luck with any other records as yet however.

In looking at the daughters' marriage certificates it seems that Mary's maiden name may be CAREW instead of Carey as indicated on daughter (Eliza's) death certificate. On Mary's own death certificate parents are indicated as unknown.

Also going from daughter's marriage certificate it seems that Mary's husband died sometime between 1876 and 1882.
