Hi Cathy,
Thankyou for your reply, I am so glad to hear that I now can lookup different spelling of the name as I have been hitting brick walls for years with John and his father Thomas Horan, what I do know are all the childrens dates for John and Johanna Mullaley, Bridget married a John Kain in Mt Gambier, Catherine my grandmother married Gustav Edmund Schleter also in Mt Gambier,Margaret I am unsure whether she married a John Byass or just had a child to him,Edward Lawrence married Agnes Pudney, they all appear to have married in Mt Gambier South Australia, on the Mullaley side Johanna's sister Margaret married Stephen Ryans, Mary married Edmund English, also another sister married a John Egan,her surname is different which means her mother Bridget could have married a Kavanagh before marrying William Mullaley.
Getting back to Horans, Thomas may have married a Ann Doolan but I havent been able to confirm this as yet. Hope you can make sense of all this
Kind regards
Barbara
