Hello Fellow Family Historians, including Jennifer C
The subject/topic is on the Kildare sub-board, but I thought it more appropriate to continue our discussion on the Australian sub-board, as we have been discussing events in NSW, rather than in Ireland; also, it might attract the attention of other family historians who may be looking at the Australian sub-board & not the Kildare one.
Our line of Farrells in Australia stem from the immigrants John & Catherine Farrell plus daughter Mary Ann who arrived in Port Jackson, NSW on the "Susan" on 10 March 1839. A second child, Catherine may have been born during the voyage or later in 1839 in Maitland. John 1 (cir 1808-1873) & Catherine 1 (cir 1810-1894) had another nine children in NSW (total of 11 according to John's death certificate). They moved from Morpeth in the Lower Hunter region to the Quirindi region. Some info on the children follows:
Mary Ann (1835/36-1911) married Michael Malony;
Catherine (1839-1869) married Denis Behan;
Elizabeth (cir 1841-1902) married James O'Connor;
William (1843-1929) married Mary Considine;
John (1845-1923) married Hanorah Lloyd;
Margaret (1847-1847);
Bridget (1848-1885) married Thomas Plunkett;
James (1850/51-1935) never married;
Michael (1852-1932) married Annie Lloyd; and
Thomas (1854-1929) married Honorah Scanlon.
There was another male child who predeceased John Farrell 1. Who was he?
