John Collins/Winifred Hassett

[chezem]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping that someone may have some information on my great, great grandparents John Collins and Winifred Hassett. John was born in 1802 and died in 1870. Winifred Hassett was born in 1807 and died in Cappanalaught, Clare on 3rd March 1875. My great grandmother Bridget Collins and her brother John (their children) travelled to Australia on the 'Sirocco' which arrived on 28th Jan 1864. Bridget was born in Six Mile Bridge in 1845 and was baptised on 23 Feb 1845 in the Parish of Cratloe. John was born in 1842. Other children of the marriage were Anne b. 1832, Patrick b. 1834 or 6, Mary Margaret b. 1836, Honora b. 1837, Catherine b. 1839, Michael b. 1842. Mary and Michael followed on later to Australia. Patrick remained in Ireland and died in Cappanalaught, Clare on 30 Jan 1908. I think they all came from Six Mile Bridge. I'm hopeful that someone may know the parents of Winifred and John or have other info on the family.

Thanks.

Cheryl
