Looking for Anne Healy, Ireland to Australia 1850s

[davethomas2021]

Looking for any information on the ancestors of my 3rd great grandmother Anne Healy/Healey. Unfortunately I don’t have much to go on..
She married Patrick Burke in Adelaide 1857, and her father is listed as James Healy. She died in Adelaide in 1898.
Haven’t been able to lock down an arrival.. there are several possibilities just in SA and many, many more nationally that I’m trying to work through.
Anecdotally the family were from Limerick.
Any clues much appreciated 🙂

What church did they marry in?

What names do you see for witnesses?

Of the groom / bride / witnesses...do they all record signatures, or does anyone use their sign.

Where in South Australia did they live?

What do you have for BURKE  children...what names, birth date and birthplaces?

What age do you have for Anne HEALY?

Hi Wivenhoe

Anne & Patrick were married at West Terrace, Adelaide.
Witnesses were John McDonald and Mary Stokes, both of North Adelaide, no signatures.. those names aren’t at all familiar.
Bride and groom both used X’s.
Anne’s marriage age is listed as 26, however her death age of 64 would mean marriage at 23.
Their children are difficult to confirm as their births weren’t registered, but from what I’m piecing together, we appear to have
- Patrick J Burke (2nd GGF) (c1857-1940)
- James (1858-?)  (from BISA)
- Johanna (c1859-1938)
- James Patrick (4-8-1861-?) (Springbank, Adelaide) (from BISA)
- Alice (1864-1926)
- Mary (1865-1948)
- Michael (1867-1933)

Yes, as you see from that death notice, Anne was living in Marion when she died

Yes, as you see from that death notice, Anne was living in Marion when she died

So too was Patrick at his death in 1885
Patrick died 1885

Yes, thank you.. that is my ‘most likely’ Anne Healy arrival 🙂

Yes, thank you.. that is my ‘most likely’ Anne Healy arrival 🙂

Might be a good idea to see the complete shipping list as often several came from the town/County especially if they had to travel to meet the ship at Plymouth which would be quite an adventure/trek just to start off with. I would look closely at others from Limerick around the same age.

That’s awesome advice! But not much to see here.. very few from Limerick and this Anne seems to have come on her own.
