Michael McQueeney and Ann Mallin

[stephenbonn]

Hi
Would anybody have any information on my 2nd great grandparents Michael McQueeney born 1820 in Leitrim, Ireland, and died 1883 Hobart, Tasmania, Michael was a convict and was sentenced to 7 years and was transported to Tasmania on the ship "Lord Auckland" in 1846, he was pardoned in !851, he only served 4 years and 11 months. I don't know anything of his parents or siblings. Also his wife Ann Mallin born 1840 Leitrim, Ireland and died 1877 Hobart, Tasmania and I don't know anything of her parents and siblings either. Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you
Stephen

The tithe applotments 1829 to 1834 allowing for illiteracy etc shows the name McWeeny is common in Leitrim including a few Michaels.

while Griffiths Valuations show both versions McWeeny and McQueeny in Leitrim.

Hello,

I’ve been researching my family history and my grandmothers family have a Michael McQueeney from Leitrim, Ireland who came over as a convict who married Ann Mullin. All the dates match what you have provided, I’d love to get in contact.

I have some information on the family tree from their children down to my grandmother.
