Irish Born- Mary,Margaret,Ellen & Annie CAHALANE

[Cath19]

Hiya. Is there a website where I could view the passenger listings to determine if this is my family. Its very coincidental that they have same names, and in same order. Would they have given their ages incorrectly for any reason??

Thanks again everybody for your help
Cath

Hi Cath

This is the page where I look up Immigration to Queensland. See bottom of the page.  A copy of the passenger list is available for a small fee.

Hi, its been a while but I finally had a breakthrough a few months back and I'm looking for a bit of advice again please! I found that Margaret,Ellen,Annie, John & Corneilus changed the spelling of their surname from Cahalane to Callaghan in Australia so thats why I couldn't find them .
I am still hunting for Mary though, and wonder if anyone could give me a tip on how I could go about finding her,or who she married? I feel she may have had 3 children, possibly called Maggie,Agnes and Mick, but I am not definate on this, or that she may have married a Dr McCarthy, possibly in Perth but again thats only family folklore so I'm not sure on that either. I have tried various searches but haven't had any joy. Her parents would have been John Cahalane, a farmer, and Ellen Murphy. I did find a marriage for a Daniel McCarthy to a Mary Callaghan,but she is described as being a hoteliers daughter so feel thats not the right person. Thank you in advance and all suggestions welcome

Hi. I'm looking for help please as I'm at a loss as to how to research my great grand aunts who emigrated to Australia from Skibbereen, Co.Cork Ireland. There were 4 sisters but I'm not sure where they went so my information is very very vague.
Mary was born 30 March 1859.
Ellen was born 4 October 1863
Margaret was born 4 April 1868
Annie was born 10 Feb 1870.

I dont know any married names, although one may have married a doctor, named McCarthy, but thats not certain.

I have a picture of whom I believe may be Mary, with her children Maggie, Agnes and Mick. This was taken in Webb & Webb, 374 Hay Street, Perth.
I also have a wedding picture of Chris & Del, one who must be a niece or nephew, taken in the 1920's.
I am attaching both photos in the hope it rings a bell with someone!

If anyone could give me any guidelines as to where I should be searching, I would really appreciate it.


Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi ..a little update as i have been successful in a few bits of this post. The wedding photo is of Christopher Mellor  and Madeline (Del) Tuohy. Christophers mother was my ancester Margaret.
Anne married James McVey, and Ellen married George HV Richardson. i'm still looking for Mary
I also found two brothers, John and Cornelius. John married Sophia Harrison and Cornelius died of fever and was unmarried. If any families of the above named people should read this, I would so love to contact them . Thank you everyone for your help so far

You can find a possible marriage for a son of Chris and Del here

adding : Here is Western Australian BDM http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx
But above link gives more recent marriages

If Mary was photographed in Perth then it is the Western Australian  BDM where you should (perhaps?) be searching for her marriage.   You can search the WA BDM for a death with just a christian name and parents' names (but of course informant may not have known her parents' names)

From WA BDM  Marriage
1900 Margaret CALLAGHAN married Christopher Howard MELLOR at Kalgoorlie reg 473

From WA BDM Death
1949  Margaret MELLOR died Perth, no parents given reg 1645
