Hi Hallmark
I agree, i'll confirm dates of birth again, I have nothing on Houston may have been eldest and died??
but then William jnr would have to be younger than Arthur. I'll sleep on it
Thanks
Bob

Hi KathleenMary
Just for info for you, probably a bit of gossip.
Anthony Kelly jnr was a servant at Doolough Lodge working for my G Grandfather Arthur Shean Bingham in 1901 census. His sister Maria Kelly on 28 Jul 1904 had a child to Arthur's son Denis Bingham, she called the boy Denis Bingham Kelly, Margaret Kelly (mother or sister) was at birth. Margaret had twins Rose and John on 17 Apr 1905. (Denis Bingham later married Ursala Eagar in 1908 and had no offstring.) A Kelly decendent gave me this info in a previous post. I confirmed birth of Denis Bingham Kelly. Love to find out more about the Geraghty sisters.
Kind regards
Keep in touch Bob

Hi Hallmark
I had been led to believe William the older brother of Arthur immigrated to Australia in 1860, he may have left in 1859 (it took a few months to get to Oz then) which would leave the "now the eldest son" statement to have more weight. I'll look for his passage details to confirm date of his leaving.
Thanks again
Bob

Hi Hallmark
Have you access to the other parts of the memorial (Deed) above. I am keen to read the settlement and how it affected the two sons, William (younger) and Arthur (eldest).
I was wondering whether it may have caused a split and William's relocation to Australia.
Thank you in advance
Bob

Hi Hallmark
Thank you, found your link, printed the info and am currently digesting the material.
Kind regards

Williams mother was Katherine Geraghty, William was born before Denis and Katherine were married so could not inherit. There were problems because Katherine was Catholic..Denis a Protestant. I have just come across some more of my own family history from this time. William was not recognised despite the fact that Katherine and Denis later married and had Anne. Often there is no mention of William at all...a bit sad really.

Hi Kathleenmary
Been a while, great to hear from you, Thank you for Maj Denis wife, Katherine Geraghty, William's mother. Have been unable to find marriage date or location. William born pre marriage explains a bit especially her being Catholic, did she come from the area around Binghamstown or further afield. I don't seem to be able to find her or her background.
Again many thanks
Bob
