Arthur O誰eill. Arrived on the Macedon in 1849

[Jamjar]

Margaret O誰eill married Thomas Kiernan in Paringa on Nov 2 1851. My GGG Grandparents. I致e been able to trace my family from then till the present.

Can you list the children of this marriage please....names, birth year, birth place.

Where and when did Thomas KIERNAN and Margaret KIERNAN nee O'NEILL die.

What names do you see for witnesses on the marriage certificate, 1851?

Wivenhoe, they say they have all needed on the KIERNAN's, but are in need of information on Margaret's siblings.

You need to throw a wide net to catch the people you are looking for. Margaret seems to be the only member of this O'NEILL family for which 1851+ history is known.

Use Margaret to find her parents and siblings.

How have you identified your Margaret O'NEILL to be the woman who arrived in SA on Macedon, 1849?

There were the following Neil / O'Neil children baptised for parents called Arthur and Mary in the RC parish of Avoca, County Wicklow, Ireland - Jane or James in 1828; Nicholas in 1830, Margaret in 1832, Honora in 1835, and Arthur in 1837 - is this a possibility?

Eg. Margaret on 22 July 1832 (right page):

I wasn't able to find any reference to Honora, but having just looked at the register provided by gaffey, it first looked like NEAL to me, there is a marriage:

1857 29/267 STOW John to NEAL Honora at Clare

I wonder if this is Arthur Jnr, same area as Nicholas?

I have no idea why the registration numbers are the same. 

1864 ONEIL Margaret   parents Nicholas ONEIL and Maria DENANDS Strathalbyn 30/667

1864 ONEIL Margaret parents Arthur ONEIL and Hester CRITCHLEY Strathalbyn 30/667

1861 45/89 ONEILL Arthur to CRITCHLEY Esther Mount Barker

Brother James? 1861 48/106 ONEILL James to MCCOURT Martha Mount Barker

[Jamjar]

Births from marriage of Thomas and Margaret are as Kernan

1865 KERNAN Mary Thomas KERNAN and Margaret ONEILL Strathalbyn 35/142   

1869 KERNAN Margaret Thomas KERNAN Margaret ONIELL Strathalbyn 78/499   
Died: 1869

Were there other births?

Are these the deaths of Thomas and Margaret?
