Frances Tully from Galway, Ireland to New South Wales, Australia

[Ros Fornaro]

Frances Tully was born in 1821 in Ballynakill, Galway, Ireland.  She married James Hammond in 1842 in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia.

She was the great great grandmother of my nephew and niece and I am typing up her biography.

Any interest?

Hi Ros,

I should have checked before posting the message.
Sorry I omitted to mention that you should try a Google Search for Galway Emigrant Index if the URL did not work.

There are no J Hammond's in the PO directory in 1875, the closest I could find was in Uladulla.
Good luck with your irish search, I finally had to go there, and while I was shortchanged in the fact findings it was a wonderfull place

Hi,

My name is Mike Hales, and I am descended from Francis (nee Tully) and James Hammond.  They had many children, and ended up living near the town of Windorah in S-E Queensland, though the town didn't exist when they arrived.

The family owned two large properties in the area, Hammond Downs and Tenham.  My grandmother was born on Tenham Station in 1897.  Both properties still exist, but are no longer owned by the family.

James Hammond arrived in Sydney in 1828 on the convict transport ship "Bussorah Merchant". 

I have more information on the descendants of Francis & James Hammond, but know nothing of her (or his) early life.  I would be happy to provide more information if you are interested.

Have you discovered anything more about Frances Tully or her family?

Regards,

Mike Hales

Hi Mike,

I have the biography of Frances Tully which describes her life from her birth in Galway in 1821, her trip to New South Wales, the move to Queensland and then to 1891 when Frances and James Hammond died within a few days of each other.

If you can provide your email I will send you what I have (about 200 pages) and I would be very interested in hearing about your line.

This is the line of my niece and nephew who are the great grandchildren of James Washington Hammond.
