Who were the parents of sisters, Mary and Biddy Hill from Tipperary, Ireland?

[Maggsie]

Hi, if the Laurence Slattery is correct then in the tithe records he is listed.
Both places of Ballygibbon and Ballymakey are next to each other.

Shanrahan is more south nearer to the Tipperary - Waterford border.

1864 is the year Civil records were introduced in Ireland. Harder to find, before then and most Parishes didn't record deaths.

Matthew,

Thank you for transcribing these records.  Yes, scribbled notes on the Descriptive List of Immigrants state quite clearly that Mary and Biddy Hill were sisters and Catherine and Mary Slattery their cousins.

The baptismal records are of great interest to me.  They confirm some of the new information which has come forth during the past few days.  Mary Ann's death certificate states that she was born in 1858.  I had always queried that date and thought it far more probable it was 1856.

Shall track down other church records and Bridget Hill's death certificate.

Maggsie,

Thanks for your post.  Shall delve into it.

I'd suggest maybe holding off on Bridget Hill's Tasmanian death certificate as they can be expensive and have  blank information. During the week I'll contact the Catholic archives here to see if they have anything on her 30 years of service to Rev Dean Woods, as well as descendant who may have a clue as to why she is buried in the Westbrook/Ogilvie grave. There may be other Turnbull baptisms as well, but they moved around a bit running hotels.

The letter from Bishop (Matin?) would be useful to know if anyone can decipher it
EDIT - There's a note on the far right of the Slattery's entry that I believe reads 'recommended <(insert) letter from Bishop> matin??'

Matthew,

I am immensely grateful.  Thank you.  Shall look forward to see what you discover.

Very sobering newspaper cuttings - quite graphic really.

I am unable to access the letter to be deciphered.  Link takes me to immigration records.

Apologies, I worded that poorly and have edited it above, it is in the immigration record

There is a line that I think indicates that the words 'letter from Bishop' should be placed after 'recommended', and the last word would be the name or maybe title(?) of the Bishop

Two more baptisms

Alfred Jacob TURNBULL born Feb 2 1861 bapt. April 12
f. Jacob TURNBULL m. Mary Margaret (olim HILL)
sponsor Eliza PENDERGAST

Percival James TURNBULL born Oct 25 1862 bapt. Nov 2
f. Jacob TURNBULL m. Mary Margaret (olim HILL)
sponsor Kate Mary AUSTIN

Matthew,

How did you gain access to the baptismal records?  Through the TAHO site or the Catholic Archives website.  The originals would be held at St. Joseph's Church in Hobart?  How would I go about acquiring copies (printouts) of the originals?  William's would be of interest to me, as would Etty's and the other children born in NZ.

No luck in deciphering 'matin'.  I do not think it is the name of the bishop who provided recommendations for the Slatterys.  (No initial capital and outside the brackets).

Shall wait to see if you receive any further information about Bridget Hill before summarizing the findings.

I continue to look very closely at the Slattery/Murray/Hill connections.

With thanks,
Mary
